Reeves played exorcist John Constantine in Constantine and a dentist in the comedy-drama Thumbsucker (both 2005). He reunited with Bullock in the 2006 romantic drama The Lake House . In 2008, Reeves played alien Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still .

In 2016, he played the ghost of a stuntman in the American-Swedish television series Swedish Dicks .
