Comedy Central duo Key and Peele are set to start their first film together at New Line Cinema – and it features a kidnapped feline.
KEANU tells the story of the stolen moggy (called Keanu we assume) who’s swiped by a criminal gang. Friends and family must infiltrate the crime underworld to rescue the purloined puss.
The pair have been thinking about feature films for a while now, with a POLICE ACADEMY reboot and a Key and Peele spinoff on the table. But it looks like the cat’s the winner.
Peele wrote the script along with Alex Rubens, another show writer. Filming starts in LA next April and it looks like Peter Atencio might be lined up to direct.
Both Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are no strangers to film – Key in THE LEGO MOVIE and LET’S BE COPS, and Peele in WANDERLUST and LITTLE FOCKERS, however this will be the first time they’ve worked together for the big screen.
