KEANU REEVES TO LEAD
DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY
According to latest news, Keanu Reeves might take the lead role in Martin Scorsese's expensive TV series adaptation of Erik Larson's book DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY over at Hulu. The period set thriller would tell the true story of two men, an architect and a serial killer, whose fates were forever linked by The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. It follows Daniel H.
Burnham, a brilliant and fastidious architect racing to make his mark on the world and Henry H. Holmes, a handsome and cunning doctor who fashioned his own pharmaceutical “Murder Castle” on fair grounds – a palace built to seduce, torture and kill young women. The story takes the viewer on a tour of murder, romance and mystery in the gilded age.

terms with his own identity. |
Just when I unscribed from Hulu, but then this series might take a long time to debut.
ReplyDeleteA very long time indeed and besides, I'm not into serial killers and dark shows.
DeleteAt 80 years old, my grandmother still has the hots for Keanu Reeves. He has a reputation of being a really nice guy, which helps. He's known for riding the subway and giving up his seat in true gentleman fashion. :)
ReplyDeleteHe also gave up most of his pay for Matrix to charities.
DeleteI guess my Nanny has good taste in men. ;) For me, he's forever engraved in my brain as Ted from Bill & Ted. I can still hear his voice from that movie in my head every time I see his picture. LOL
DeleteHe has not really much evolved from Ted LOL He is still a rather bad actor, but so lovely and kind that you do not really mind :) He had a very sad life and after his sister died and then he and his girlfriend of that time also lost a baby a few months after that, he sold everything and lived in a trailer. It is possible he still does, he is very much away from hoarding money and properties. This is why he also travels by public transport.
DeleteThe new Keanu Reeves movies sounds like it will be intense - pretty much like all his movies.
ReplyDeleteLove Me also sounds interesting. (Yep, that's part of the dating game - trial and error.)
He does have an unusual tendency towards starring in violent movies, given how nice and sweet he is in private life.
DeleteI love Keanu Reeves and have read other Erik Larson books so will definitely watch :)
ReplyDeleteHope you will like it.
DeleteI’d probably watch The Devil. You’re right that Keanu isn’t much of an actor, but have you ever heard anything bad about him? Now that our Betty White has departed, I think he’s the new standard to live by.
ReplyDeleteIf I have to mention something I don't like about him it is that he smokes!
DeleteAfter Betty we now have Leslie Jordan as our God to whom we bow to!
