This would be quite the casting!
Deadline has first reported that Keanu Reeves is in negotiations to star in Hulu’s series adaptation of The Devil In The White City, the big-budget take on Erik Larson’s 2003 book.
The Devil in the White City tells 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 mutilate young women. The story takes the viewer on a tour of murder, romance and mystery in the gilded age.
In 2019, Hulu announced that it was developing the project as a big-budget series with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese exec producing alongside Rick Yorn, Sam Shaw, Jennifer Davisson and Stacey Sher.
