Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Keanu Reeves will star in an hour long TV series Rain. The series, which is based on the best-selling book by Barry Eisler, is being produce by new company Slingshot Global Media. In addition Keanu will executive produce the show along with Chad Stahelski and David Leitch.
Deadline Hollywood says the following about Rain:
Rain centers on John Rain (Reeves), a half-Japanese, half-American contract assassin who specializes in taking out his targets by making it look like death by natural causes. An outsider in whatever world he’s in, Rain ironically finds that the one identity he knows – that of being a hitman – is the very thing that prevents him from bringing others closer into his life.
Back on March 15, Barry Eisler tweeted that he met with Keanu Reeves and included a photo. We covered it here.
