As per an international publication, Keanu Reeves, who is currently riding on the success of Matrix: Resurrections and gearing up for the release of John Wick 4, is actively in talks with Hulu to star in the live-action mini-series based on Erik Larson’s famous novel.
No further details about the conversation have been revealed at the moment, but if this is happening as per speculations there is nothing more exciting than to see this trio coming together for a project.
Before the entry of Reeves, Leonardo DiCaprio when bought the rights back in 2010, wanted to make a film on it while portraying the antagonist of the story, and approached Martin Scorsese to helm the project.
