A new photograph from the Rome set of “Bunny-Man” reveals Oscar nominee Giancarlo Giannini cloaked in judicial robes as the corrupt Judge Gladwell, supplying the first official look at Italy’s latest high-profile genre project.

The thriller, produced and fronted by Andrea Iervolino, assembles Tatiana Luter, James Franco, Bella Thorne, Mike Tyson, Michele Morrone, Franco Nero and Ana Golja around Giannini.

According to production notes, the story follows a multimillionaire rap star who hides behind a rabbit mask to avenge the online-circulated assault that led his sister to take her own life, blending vigilante action with giallo-style psychology.

Cameras rolled in late July at Cinecittà before moving to Turin streets, with trade listings marking 28 February 2025 as the final day of principal photography. While press releases omit a director, festival databases point to Giorgio Bruno, and IMDbPro credits Daniel H. Friedman, Iervolino and Alessandra Starr Ward with the script.

Keanu Reeves has become known as an action hero with roles such as Neo in The Matrix and John Wick in a brutal quadrilogy of movies. Before all that, though, he teamed up with Morgan Freeman and Rachel Weisz on the 1996 conspiracy action thriller Chain Reaction, and the movie is currently finding a new audience on the free streaming platform Tubi.

Chain Reaction sees Reeves play Eddie Kasalivich, a machinist who is forced to go on the run when he is framed for causing a deadly explosion at a groundbreaking clean-energy project. In the usual style of this kind of thriller, Eddie must take on the bad guys, stay alive, and clear his name all within a couple of hours of tense drama. Unfortunately, the film did quite live up to the premise, and did not deliver the kind of box office that Reeves' movies have become known for.
