Well, Michael Rennie had a reputation for being a wooden actor, so...

True, but at least he also had a reputation for being an ACTOR.

I like Keanu. He's aware of his limitations and he has actually improved as an actor.
Isn't this a sort of cold character anyway? He should be fine in the role. I'd worry about the rest of the film, they might bring in the Wachowski siblings to do some reshoots.

Re: This Can't Be True! Reeves in The Day The Earth Stood Still Remake!
I'm most concerned about the casting of the robot, Klatu. Or rather the design. I've always thought that Klatu was in the top 3 of robots, for design. He is really ominous and imposing just standing still. Then he moves and knees wrinkle.
I'd like them to use the same design and just fix his technical drawbacks.

Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.--Irving Townsend

I don't think that would be a very tough assignment with today's technology...

Well you're definitely not a fan of the film, one of the most famous sci-fi films ever. Otherwise you'd know 'Gort' was the name of the robot and 'Klaatu' was the alien emissary sent to Earth with a warning. Michael Rennie played Klaatu in the 1951 classic.
Keanu Reeves as Klaatu? pfft if I were making a list of 100 possible actors for the part, Keanu wouldn't be on there. Perfect for The Matrix but as Klaatu? Nic Cage must have been busy.

Re: This Can't Be True! Reeves in The Day The Earth Stood Still Remake!
[gag] Gort done in CGI! [gag]
What skinny, self absorbed teen sweetie will pay the woman who steals Klaatu's cold heart! Of course she will be divorced and have a bitter 5 or 6 year old son who ol' Klaat will befriend, before he goes down that wrong path. Bet Klaatu wont be Mr. Carpenter anymore. Cant have any symbolism in our sci-fi.
