While his ex-wife Britney Spears continously attempts to dig herself out from under a pile of nonsense, Kevin Federline is slowly piecing together the type of career his old lady could never achieve. According to Hollywood.com (via In Touch Weekly), Federline has booked a gig in the new Keanu Reeves flick Night Watch. Although, technically, this isn't his first big-screen role (he played a dancer in You Got Served), this will be his first film that people might actually like. Go Kev! No word yet on who he's playing, but so far it's being described as a "small, but notable" role. Based on the film's description, I can take a few guesses as to who this dancer-turned-golddigger-turned-actor might be playing.
Plot revolves around a veteran LAPD cop (Reeves) who becomes an alcoholic following the death of his wife. When his former mentor (Forest Whitaker) frames him for the murder of a fellow officer (K-Fed???), our cop must find a way out of the jam that's been created for him. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say K-Fed will either play that cop that's killed (while undercover as the worst white rapper in history??) or some meaningless street thug who knows more than he's letting on. Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Naomie Harris and Common also star, and since we're looking at another gritty LAPD-related thriller, there's only one man capable of delivering the goods -- writer-director David Ayer. Based on a story by James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), who also helped co-write the screenplay, Night Watch (previously known as The Night Watchman) is set to hit theaters sometime next year.

NO,NO,NO AND HELL NO!!! Keanu is finally gaining some respect as an actor with range, and now someone would put that talentless Ken doll in a movie with him? K-Fed should stick to what he knows, trying to look like a gansta and marrying talentless pop tarts.

I would definitely have to agree. Who would pair Keanu with KFed? KFed needs to become non-existant to the world. Our eyes and ears would be much happier.

The title shouldn't be "Night Watch." It should be "Don't Watch." Keanu and K-Fed in a movie together? Talk about a talent vacuum. On the other hand, if K-Fed is the cop who ends up getting murdered, it might be worth the $7 admission just to see him die.

Keanu is getting respect as an actor? Since when? For what? Those idiotic MATRIX movies? CONSTANTINE? SWEET NOVEMBER? THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE? That LAKE HOUSE thing?
Keanu is the worst actor in American movie history. Period. His attempts at acting stopped being sad a while ago, and are finally just hilarious. Partnering him with K-Fed? Double the bad acting pleasure, double the laughs!

this reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield joke in "back to school" when he requested fatter people around him so he (Rodney) could look thin. its the same here, surround Kenau with really bad actors that make his skills look so much better. brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good God no!!
Look people, it's simple: If we all just ignore him, he'll crawl back to his trailer park and we won't have to put up with his baseless arrogance anymore.
I can't believe some agent sold his soul to the devil to front this guy.
