Title: Please don't let this suck Post by: IainC on July 18, 2008, 01:56:55 PM The Day The Earth Stood Still (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thedaytheearthstoodstill/large.html) is being remade.
With Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. The trailer makes it look like Independence Day, rather than the awesome film with a message that was the original. Title: Re: Please don't let this suck Post by: photek on July 18, 2008, 02:06:13 PM Movie looks good. Trailer was so-so. I like Keanu Reeves. His characters are not many-dimensional and his roles are specifically chosen for him, but he delivers in his "Keanu" way. I'd like him in a Frank Miller based movie, or something like that Animatrix "Detective" cut. He would be perfect.
EDIT : He would be very good, not perfect. Robert Downey Jr would be perfect. EDIT#2 : Sorry for the derail, carry on :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Please don't let this suck Post by: Hawkbit on July 18, 2008, 02:34:32 PM They're digging deep to rape the last of what I hold dear.

EDIT#2 : Sorry for the derail, carry on :awesome_for_real: Keanu is alright when he has to play something devoid of personality like in Johnny Mnemonic. It's a bit like David Bowie, he plays things that aren't human much better than actual people.
