Key & Peele make unofficial John Wick spin-off movie about a cat

So when we say that we’re stoked to see what Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key have put together for the big league outing with “Keanu”, that feeling is genuine. It already has the sort of absurd premise that abounded on the duo’s late Comedy Central show, and its stars are nothing if not able to totally commit to a bit.

In the first trailer for the first in what will hopefully be a litany of cinematic adventures, Key and Peele star in Keanu, the story of two men trying to reclaim their cat from a group of unsafe drug videos.

Featuring delightfully over-the-top firefights and a kitten that could be line to dethrone The Artist’s Uggie as the cutest movie animal, today’s slice of footage reads like an Internet fever dream. In fact, according to the latest poster, the cat has clearly replaced Key & Peele as the main selling point of Keanu. I’m not so sure about Will Forte’s character, though.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele go to extraordinary lengths to save a kitten in the red band trailer for their upcoming movie “Keanu”.

Peele and Alex Rubens wrote the film, which Peele produced with Key and Principato Young Entertainment’s Peter Principato and Joel Zadak.
