"It is a real honor to be collaborating with the brilliant Keanu and Alex on Samuel Beckett's sublime masterpiece — one of the greatest plays of all time," Lloyd said in a statement.

The minimalist "Waiting for Godot" follows Vladimir and Estragon in an exchange of discussions and encounters while waiting for the titular character to arrive.
Reeves is best known for starring in action franchises "The Matrix," "John Wick," and "Speed," with several dramas and comedies under his belt.
Winter is also a film director whose earlier stage credits include "The King and I," "Peter Pan," and "Close of Play."
The actors appeared in three "Bill & Ted" movies about two rockstar time travellers, with the third entry released in 2020, "Bill & Ted Face the Music," coming out nearly 30 years since its predecessor.
Lloyd is a hot theater director of late with his minimalist adaptations of famous productions. His most recent works are "Romeo & Juliet" with Tom Holland and "Sunset Boulevard" with Filipino-American Nicole Scherzinger.
