It might be arguable that Buster Keaton was “the greatest of all the clowns,” as Orson Welles once described him, but few would argue if they knew anything about the filmmaking comedian. After hearing breaking news about a limited series Warner Bros. has in the making, Ryan Reynolds tweeted his appreciation for the vaudeville entertainer-turned-movie star while mentioning a short video that shows the genius behind the gag.
As Deadline reports, Warner Bros. is eyeing the novel Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life to be the source material for the story, as negotiations are underway to secure three-time Emmy winner Ted Cohen as the writer. Oscar and Emmy winner Rami Malek will play the lead role as well as produce, along with David Weddle of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Matt Reeves of Batman. Malek is best known for his intense portrayal of computer hacker Elliot Alderson in Mr. Robot and for bringing Freddie Mercury back to life in Bohemian Rhapsody.
