Day the audiences stayed home…

They’re still saying that Keanu Reeves has been cast to play Klatuu in the Day the Earth Stood Still remake.   But that can’t be right, can it?  I mean, surely he’s going to play Gort.  The long stretch of the movie in which Gort is immobilized in a large plastic cube would play to all of Reeves’ strengths as an actor.

    Maybe they could just not make this remake?…no hope of that, is there? *sigh*

    That casting makes my brain angry just thinking about it.

    Do remakes need writers?

  • David Fullam

    I agree, just don’t make it.

    I’m sure someone at the studio thought, “Come on–Keanu and Klaatu. He’s already got, like, the K and the U. It’s a no-brainer.”

    That would be hilarious if there wasn’t a chance of it being true…
