Keanu Reeves to Star in New Action Thriller ‘Kill Current’

Keanu Reeves has found his next action thriller.

The John Wick star is set to lead Kill Current, an upcoming adaptation of Oliver Lowe’s novel Kill Current: A Jon Hendricks Thriller. The Arena has acquired the project and will finance and produce the film, with Reeves also producing alongside Alexandra Grant through their newly launched production company, Two Dragonflies.

The story centers on Jon Hendricks, a burned-out CIA officer who is pulled back into action after losing the protégé he trained. His search for revenge sends him into a globe-spanning conflict involving shifting alliances, technological warfare and the battle for some of the world’s most valuable resources.

The upcoming novel is the first entry in a planned Jon Hendricks thriller series and is scheduled to be published by Zando in May 2027.

“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 said.

The project could potentially give Reeves another action franchise outside of John Wick, as Kill Current is being developed from the first installment of a planned book series.

Two Dragonflies was founded by Reeves and Grant to develop stories across film, television, animation, comic books, games, literature and other creative mediums.

No director, additional cast members or release date have been announced.
