WHAT??? There's to be a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu? You're pulling my leg, right??? Say it isn't so!!

P.S. Jamie Bamber would be a good choice as Straker!! I never even thought of him...

open with the very beginnings of SHADO, Mr. Wood might qualify -
Straker was likely in his early thirties when he was assigned to be
SHADO's commander and the fledgling organization was started. I also
suspect Mr. Wood was asked to 'play' younger than he really was as
Frodo. Look at Toby MacGuire

Please! Do I have to?

Next you'll be telling me Keanu Reeves will be playing Klaatu. Oh,
wait. He is. Keanu is no Michael Rennie.

If we're going for folks a little on the young side, how about Jamie
Bamber? It'd be nice to see Jamie as a blond again. And the man can
act and, oh my, is he gorgeous!
