Whether you know him from “The Matrix”, “Devil’s Advocate”, “Point Break”, “Constantine” or “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, Keanu Reeves is back, and this time, to television.
The star is set to executive produce and start in the TV show Rain, which is based off of a best-selling book series by Barry Eisler.
Rain is about (according to Coming Soon)…”The show is said to be a globe-trotting action drama featuring the lead character, John Rain, 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.”
“As a huge fan of Barry’s work, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring his iconic character and incredible world to life,” said Reeves. “I’m looking forward to partnering with Slingshot on my first series, and reteaming with Chad and David.”
