Title: Please don't let this suck

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.

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:

They're digging deep to rape the last of what I hold dear.

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.

That's what I mean. I remember someone saying he had an expression like "a moose flashed by headlights".

I have to agree with WAP.  I know wooden decoy ducks who are more emotive.
