It has been revealed that the world-famous actor Keanu Reeves, who was announced to appear with a Formula 1 documentary coming to Disney+ in the past weeks, will take part in a brand new project. According to a report shared by Deadline, the 57-year-old Canadian actor will be the lead role in a book adaptation to be published by the movie and series platform Hulu.
According to Deadline, Hulu has announced that Keanu Reeves will appear in the long-awaited adaptation of The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. In fact, rumors have been circulating that Reeves will star in this production for a while. This situation has been confirmed by the statements that have come now.
It will be Reeves’ first major US television role
The TV adaptation of The Devil in the White City, based on a true story, will follow visionary architect Daniel H. Burnham and serial killer HH Holmes, who used the fair to murder young women, whose paths crossed at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Reeves will also play Daniel H. Burnham in this production. Let’s not forget that this production will be Reeves’ first major TV role in the US.
It should also be noted that Keanu Reeves will be producing the 8-episode series. Famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio and legendary director Martin Scorsese are also among the producers of The Devil in the White City. DiCaprio bought the rights to the book in 2010. Following this, it was stated that a film adaptation of the book would be directed by Martin Scorsese and starring DiCaprio. However, it was later announced that the work would be adapted as a series by Hulu and that the duo, who had worked together many times before, would act as producers.
Although the exact release date of the series, which has been expected for years, has not been announced yet, it is stated that it will meet us in 2024.
