Keanu Reeves has signed up to star in new television drama "Rain".
The project is an hour long series based on the popular books by best-selling American novelist Barry Eisler.
Reeves is the executive producer, and will lead the cast of the proposed action drama.
Reeves will star as John Rain, a half-American, half-Japanese contract assassin, who kills his victims by making it look like they have died from natural causes.
A writer has yet to be hired for the project.
