Keaton and De Niro together again?! This is going to be epic! Loved them in Jackie Brown and can't wait to see their chemistry in this thriller. The book was amazing too! 🤩

The cast looks stacked but I'm worried about the Russo brothers producing. Their recent Netflix projects have been hit or miss. Hope they don't overcomplicate what sounds like a solid crime story.

Read the book last year - such a creepy, atmospheric story! If they capture even half of that tension on screen, it'll be fantastic. Fingers crossed for the adaptation!

Interesting that Keaton's only doing a cameo. Wonder if they'll expand his role? Either way, the father-son dynamic between De Niro and Scott should be great to watch.

The book had some really disturbing moments. Hope they don't tone it down too much for Netflix. Sometimes you need that edge for a proper thriller!

With this cast and source material, this could be Netflix's next big hit. The Gray Man was solid, hope they bring that same level of production quality to this.
