Keanu Reeves is set to star in Netflix’s upcoming film "Maelstrom," directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The movie, originally pitched in 1993 to Warner Bros., was initially envisioned as "Die Hard" during a hurricane and was part of a strategy to stockpile action movie scripts for top stars like Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, and Clint Eastwood.
The plot revolves around a federal agent tasked with protecting a woman from her powerful crime boss husband, who is offering a contract to kill her if she testifies against him. A hurricane complicates matters as the crime boss tracks them down. Reeves previously starred in "War Machine" on Netflix and is currently busy with other projects, including "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," "The Entertainment System Is Down," "Shiver," and an animated "John Wick" prequel. The film is being produced by Jeff Robinov, with new revisions by Mark Bianculli.
