Rick Famuyiwa has had a rather busy week.  After (reportedly) throwing shade at the DC Film Universe, it was announced that he's signed up to helm an adaptation of Black Hole and now, it seems he'll also helm an original superhero tale for Netflix titled Past Midnight.  Keanu Reeves is being sought to portray the lead.  Additional details on the project and plot are being kept under wraps.

If Reeves is being sought to star, it's thought that filming won't begin anytime soon as the Matrix star will be busy prepping for John Wick: Chapter 3.  That leaves Famuyiwa free to tackle the Black Hole first.
