It seems like every day a Hollywood actor is making the jump to
television. Sometimes that news is met with a shrug. Sometimes it’s met
with an ecstatic air guitar solo.
Well, today is definitely the latter.
That’s because Deadline
is reporting that Keanu Reeves is attached to star in a TV adaptation
of Barry Eisler’s John Rain books. Reeves will star as the title
assassin with a silly name and a particular set of principles.
Rain’s specialty is that he makes his hits look like the target died
of natural causes, and like all mystery novel heroes who are also
assassins, he’s got rules, like no women or children.
Reeves has had a hard time finding his footing in the movies world
after the “Matrix” trilogy ended, and I think this is exciting news for
him. Taking the role of Rain is more than enough justification to get
Reeves punching and kicking on TV every single week.
Since this project is still in the early stages of development,
there’s no network attached, but hopefully with Reeves on board, someone
will snap this up quickly.
