The stars of the new comedy “Keanu” hosted a special advanced screening of the film Tuesday night at Atlanta’s Regal Theatre Atlantic Station. Keegan Michael-Key, Jordan Peele, Jason Mitchell, and Method Man were all smiles as they made their way into the theater with hundreds of adoring fans. The evening was hosted by Grammy winning-rappper and actor Tip “T.I.” Harris.
T.I.
In “Keanu,” a recently dumped slacker Rell (Jordan Peele) finds some happiness when a cute kitten winds up on his doorstep. After a heartless thief steals the cat, Rell recruits his cousin Clarence (Keegan Michael-Key) to help him retrieve it. They soon learn that a thug named Cheddar (Method Man) has the animal, and he’ll only give it back if the two men agree to work for him. Armed with guns and a gangster attitude, it doesn’t take long for the hapless duo to land in big trouble. “Keanu” also stars Nia Long, Luis Guzmán, Jason Mitchell, Tiffany Haddish, and more.
