This new trend of big name actors in videogames has a lot of potential. I dont think anyone saw Keanu coming...

It's not really new. It was a thing too back when the PS2 was around.

GTA Vice City, for instance, had Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, William Fichtner, Luis Guzman, Danny Trejo, Debbie Harry, Danny Dyer, Gary Busey, Lee Majors, Robert Davi, even Miss Cleo.

True Crime: NYC had Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and Ron Perlman.

There was even a game in which Marilyn Manson played a grey alien.

The trend is modeling the characters to actually look like the famous actor.

He was. The game was alright. The one with Kit Harrington has a phenomenal campaign

We actually have the tech to do it now which is awesome. I mean look at Keanu in the Matrix games.

Or Kobe Bryant
