Keanu Reeves is starring in a web series. It’s called Spärhusen and is actually a spin-off of IKEA-backed Easy to Assemble. It’s part of a 7-show slate of web series from My Damn Channel premiering October 8, 2009.
Spärhusen is a spinoff series about fictional Swedish rock band of the same name that despite oozing musical talent, never quite hit the ABBA level. It actually came out of an episode of Easy to Assemble from last season.
For the first season, Spärhusen is basically a Behind the Music look at the “in-studio tensions” from the recording sessions of the band’s 1972 single “Apples & Fish.” Reeves stars as “famed” Swedish record producer Vorste Fierron who apparently can’t get along with the band’s long-time manager Björn Epstein (Wallace Langham) over a fish. On top of the series, they are actually putting out a real-life album from the band, dubbed “The Best of Spärhusen,” set for release later this fall.
Illeana Douglas, the star and creator of Easy to Assemble, co-created Sparhusen along with fellow stars Rob Mailhouse and Todd Spahr.
You can watch the extended trailer here, and also I’ve added screencaptures on the gallery at keanuconnection.com. Priceless!
