Keanu Reeves, SF Writer
The Pope Messiah (the nickname given by Arte in his documentary dedicated to the Hollywood star) never ceases to amaze us. After playing Johnny Silverhand in the video game Cyberpunk 2077, The Canadian actor armed himself with a pen to write a science fiction novel in collaboration with China Mieville (Kraken, The Iron Council, The Scarified, Lombres, Merfur, The City and The City). The Canadian-born actor’s first novel, The Book of Elsewhere, takes place in the world of the 2021 comic book BRZRKR created by Keanu Reeves. Additionally, Netflix is currently working on adaptations into a live action film and an animated series. Keanu Reeves said of Chyna Mieville:
Chin did exactly what I was hoping for: he came up with a clear architecture for the story and how he wanted to play with the BRZRKR universe, a universe I love so much. I was excited by their vision and honored to be a part of this collaborative process. -Keanu Reeves

A Prime Video series “On the Level of Chuck Norris”
The Reacher series is a real hit with the general public and critics who appreciate Alan Ritchson’s powerful and muscular performance.

Based on the literary series Jack Reacher, this Amazon Original created by Nick Santora (The Sopranos, Prison Break) has won over Prime Video subscribers. While Season 2 has just ended, The Obsidian Studio Design Director (Fallout New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire) talks about the series and compares its lead actor to Chuck Norris:
I finally watched an episode of Reacher and it’s entertaining but lol. He is bigger than everyone and better at fighting than everyone, better at law than police and Harvard lawyers, better at science than nerds. Chuck Norris memes from 20 years ago but a real series. -Josh Sawyer

Jackpot for Jenna Ortega
For many viewers, the first meeting with Jenna Ortega is the November 2022 release date of the Wednesday series on Netflix. Since then, the North American actress has become Hollywood’s new scream queen by starring in the horror saga Scream. The one who got his start on Disney Channel and made a quick appearance in Iron Man 3 should benefit from a big pay rise in 2024. According to Cosmopolitan’s estimates based on Stranger Things’ cast members’ earnings for season 3, Jenna Ortega will receive $250,000 per episode for Wednesday’s season 2, or $2 million total (for 8 episodes). And that doesn’t take into account other film projects she’s involved in or partnered with, etc.
