Indeed. Keanu never outright says it was the director who did this, but the director implied that he and Keanu had a falling out and hoped to mend fences way back when. Universal's agreement with Keanu had him keep quiet for 12 months after release. Once that lapsed, he wasn't shy about throwing the whole experience under the bus. Considering Keanu's continued disdain for the film, it's not hard to put the pieces together through conjecture. And with Charbanic not getting any traction as a director after this could be attributed to that nasty business. The few things he's acted as a producer on have been fairly unknown projects. Clearly, if Universal caught wind of the mess with Reeves, it's not hard to imagine that word spread fast and tainted his reputation.
That's messed up that he did that to Keanu Reeves. I would be pissed to
