At first I was astonished at the choice of Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, don't get me wrong, I liked Bill & Ted's and The Matrix, but the man just can't act. Anyway, I'm over it now and think that maybe Keanu actually is an alien and can play the part just fine. So now I'm really looking forward to seeing what becomes of the remake of this classic!

The threat of nuclear war is still there for Klaatu to address and he can tell us about terrorism is bad and warn us about Global Warming and stem cell cloning. If the storyline sounds good and the trailer is intriguing, then it may be worth a look. I wonder what Gort will look like?

Here ya go. I just found this still. :)

"Ummm.... Klaatu isn't the Robot. Klaatu is the guy who travels with the Robot. The Robot's name is Gort."

[jackskellington]

Yeah, but the joke wouldn't have worked any other way.:doh:

[Dark Comic]

Are there any Keanu Reeves movies where he ISN'T playing a robot?:lol:

Well the first movie that always comes into my head when I hear "Keanu Reeves" is Speed. No robot there.:lol: Also no robot in Constantine, Dracula or Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. There might be one more but don't count on it :lol:

[jackskellington]

Hmm. Guess it wasn't obvious enough that I was taking a stab at his acting abilities.:roll:

[UNDEAD FRED]

I liked Keanu Reeves in Point Break, He is a real good surfer, I have seen him at some of the local spots here.

[Kemper]

I hope this doesn't get too heavy...I don't want soapbox overload

[UNDEAD FRED]

Al Gore can play Gort, Al Gort:lol:

Since it's updated, instead of the kid, Bruce Campbell should play Ash.

To save Klaatu, Ash has to say "Klaatu Barada Nikto" to Gort but forgets the words and mumbles it to Gort and Gort destroys Earth!

Klaatu's last words are: "Whoa... Bummer, Dude!" :lol:

That would be hilarious!

This the old movie with the metal guy who walks out of a flying saucer and says that humanity is horrible?

This will be an interesting remake.

[Constantine1911]

It will be interesting to see what they will do to a movie that old.:doh:

[jackskellington]

John Cleese has signed on to play Dr. Barnhardt!!

Yes, Gort is his name.
He will be fully CG, I believe.
