Keanu Reeves In Talks To Star In New Netflix Superhero Movie
From Lethal Assassin To Superpowered Hero?
♦ Former director of The Flash Rick Famuyiwa may have left Warner Bros’ The Flash, but he’s not done with superheroes. The Dope filmmaker will helm a new superhero movie for Netflix, with Keanu Reeves in talks to star. Here’s the details from our friends at Slash Film…
Rick Famuyiwa, who helmed Dope and was previously attached to direct The Flash, has signed on to direct Past Midnight for Netflix (via Deadline). The film is described as “a feature about a new kind of vigilante superhero.” Famuyiwa’s attachment is enough to pique my interest, but wait, there’s more. According to Deadline, Keanu Reeves is in talks to star.
Past Midnight will be written by T.J. Fixman (Ratchet and Clank) and produced by Avengers: Infinity War helmers Anthony and Joe Russo.
2018 has seen Netflix make a massive land grab for movies which would have ended up on the big screen including Mute, The Cloverfield Paradox and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is a Netflix backed production. So they are already big players in the ever-shifting world of cinema and this would just help to cement this.
