Keanu Reeves
Ready to hit theaters this April, Fox Searchlight Pictures has played a last-minute card by giving The Night Watchman a new name.
Street Kings Take Over for The Night Watchman
Though I can't say I exactly like the new title -- well, I hate it -- Fox was forced to face the fact that The Night Watchman sounded a whole bunch like Warner Bros' Watchmen. In order to avoid any confusion, the studio has renamed the film Street Kings. Who the hell thought up Street Kings? Well, let's take a look at the film's synopsis:
Keanu Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD Vice Detective. Ludlow sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Crews). Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlo's supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (Evans) to track Washington's killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington's murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.
I guess all these characters are bound to become kings of the street? You're right, I don't get it.
