I can't have faith in Keanu on this one... or any one for that matter.

If I got to meet W./the cast and crew at COMIC-CON I would ask them how could they re-make a classic film!? I would also ask if the rent was due that damn bad was this the motivation for re-making the film!

Err
oh no he di'int!
seriously though the original is classic.
the pacing may be slow because of how movies were made back then but seriously you should see the original at least once.
maybe some afternoon when youre too sick or lazy to go outside or make use of the day, lay in a slovenly pose on the couch and give it a glance.
im not saying youll love it, but its a good story.

Err
i'm a sucker for science fiction, i hope this movie doesnt let me down.
keanu may not be the best actor in the world, but the rest of the cast is great so hopefully they can fix his acting in the editing room.
unless klaatu is supposed to be sort of mechanical in nature, then reeves's uncomfortable approach to dialogue might work.
his style seemed perfect for the mentally unstable junkie he played in 'a scanner darkly', so theres the proof that his 'aloof' sort of nature fits certain characters.

i was afraid they were gonna remove gort from the story entirely, but i guess they didnt.

im with Henson on this one. The posters are cool but "is" and "stood" dont work..
maybe if it was called "The Day the Earth Stands Still"

"is" and "stood" are different tenses. I'd rather they had just left conjunctions out of the ad campaign.
