Keanu Is Klaatu


From Variety:
Twentieth Century Fox has set Keanu Reeves to star in "The Day the Earth Stood Still," its re-imagining of the 1951 Robert Wise-directed sci-fi classic.

Reeves committed over the weekend to play Klaatu, a humanoid alien who arrives on Earth accompanied by an indestructible, heavily armed robot and a warning to world leaders that their continued aggression will lead to annihilation by species watching from afar.

Keanu, Klaatu.

Klaatu, Keanu.

  4. "That is Gort, I think, not Klaatu."

    I know, but Gort looks cooler than Michael Rennie

  5. Michael Rennie was ill the Day the Earth Stood Still...

    I bet he's even more ill now.

    Keanu should play Gort -- I think that's more in his range.

  7. No,no,no, Keanu is no Michael Rennie. Ironically I just watched the orginal over the weekend, and there is so much good there that still holds up that I can't see any remake that could compare to it. Bad Hollywood, Bad.
