Klattu Barada Nik-whoah
According to Variety, Keanu Reeves will be there the day the earth stands still– no word whether he will tell us where to stand. Presumably, on our feet.
Twentieth Century Fox has set 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.
The robot, of course, will be the robot double of Ted from Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.
This is one of my favorite movies and I really hate the idea of ot being remade. There was a 'sequel' once proposed and hearing the lame plot cements WHY it was never made. I honestly feel all the CGI in the world can't make this picture any 'better.Hollywood, get a new idea!
Typecasting.Whoah!
Just reading the title I instantly knew that Keanu Reeves was starring in a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Excellent!
