Television to develop a new limited series about Buster Keaton, the iconic comedian who delighted audiences a century ago during the silent-film era.<br \/><br \/>If all goes as planned, <em><strong>Batman<\/strong> <\/em>director Matt Reeves would direct and produce the series, which would see Rami Malek in the title role. Warner Bros. is talking with Ted Cohen about writing the script and serving as executive producer. The studio is also reportedly negotiating the rights to James Curtis\u2019s 2022 biography, <em>Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker\u2019s Life.<br \/><\/em><br \/>Keaton (1895-1966) is often ranked with Charlie Chaplin as one of the most significant comedy stars of his generation. A child-star veteran of vaudeville, Keaton first appeared in Fatty Arbuckle\u2019s silent comedy <em><strong>The Butcher Boy<\/strong><\/em>. He is remembered for his slapstick routines and his deadpan facials, which earned him the sobriquet of \u201cThe Great Stone Face.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Among Keaton\u2019s other early flicks are <em><strong>Sherlock, Jr., Steamboat Bill, Jr.<\/strong><\/em>, and <strong><em>Our Hospitality<\/em><\/strong>. His most impressive film is regarded to be <em><strong>The General<\/strong><\/em>, which he made in 1926, just as the silent-film era was coming to a close. In this flick, Keaton played the role of a Confederate engineer trying to recapture a steam locomotive that had been captured by Union forces during the American Civil War.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/n-bagshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ocuflox.html\">ocuflox<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br> Keaton&#8217;s last commercial appearance was in the 1966 film <em><strong>A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Rami Malek\u2019s recent roles include that of Elliot Alderson in the <em><strong>Mr. Robot<\/strong><\/em> television series.
