Rick Famuyiwa’s next feature film after departing Flashpoint will be a Netflix original titled Past Midnight, which features a script written by TJ Fixman. Anthony and Joe Russo are producing.
Rick Famuyiwa has had a rather busy week: he’s signed up to helm an adaptation of horror Black Hole and now it seems he’ll also helm an original superhero tale for Netflix titled Past Midnight. Keanu Reeves is being sought to portray the lead. Additional details on the project and plot are being kept under wraps.
If Reeves is being sought to star, it’s thought that filming won’t begin anytime soon, as The Matrix star will be busy prepping for John Wick: Chapter 3. That leaves Famuyiwa free to tackle the Black Hole first.
Past Midnight tells of a former vigilante who was sentenced to life in prison after being captured by the police while stopping the worst domestic terrorism act ever to hit New York City. The hero must team up with a disillusioned detective to track down his old nemesis, who has returned to threaten the city once more.
