Keanu Reeves is in talks to star in James Wan’s reimagining of Korean serial-killer thriller The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil.
Per THR Reeves will star in the Paramount Pictures’ film alongside Train to Busan’s Ma Dong-seok, who also starred in the 2019 original.
Directed by Insidious’ James Wan, who will also produce under his Blumhouse-Atomic Monster banner, The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil was based on a series of murders that took place in the mid-2000s, and tells the tale of a crime boss who survives an attack by a serial-killer, so reluctantly teams up with a detective to track him down.
Shay Hatton (Resident Evil) and Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential) have both written original drafts of the script, while Thunderbolts scribe Eric Pearson turned in the latest screenplay. The 2019 film was written and directed by Lee Won-tae (The Devil’s Deal).
Next up for Keanu Reeves is Sonic and the Hedgehog 4, which will see him reprising his role as Shadow in Paramount’s blockbuster videogame franchise.
