Keanu Reeves to Star in Kill Current Adaptation

Keanu Reeves is set to star in and produce an adaptation of Oliver Lowe’s forthcoming novel, “Kill Current,” which will be the first project under his new production banner, Two Dragonflies. The independent studio The Arena has preemptively acquired the rights to the novel and will finance and produce the film adaptation. Reeves will portray Jon Hendricks, a burned-out CIA officer who is drawn back into espionage to avenge a protégé he trained and lost. The novel, described as a geopolitical thriller, is scheduled for publication in May 2027 by Zando and is planned as the first in a series. The adaptation marks a significant step for Two Dragonflies, a banner co-founded by Reeves and his partner Alexandra Grant, intended to develop stories across film, television, animation, comics, games, and literature. “I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to develop the character Jon Hendricks with these wonderful collaborators and that this is the project that launches Two Dragonflies, which I share with my partner, Alexandra Grant,” Reeves stated. Grant added that aligning with The Arena, Lowe, and Zando is the kind of creative work they established Two Dragonflies to pursue.
