I don't see why people seem to dislike him so much. Yeah, Chain Reaction for example, was quite awful, and his acting in it was truly terrible. However to me he seems to do sci-fi and bizarre movies well.

Johnny Mnemonic
The Matrix
Constantine
A Scanner Darkly

I personally enjoyed all of the above movies. I say give him a chance. :)

I thought she'd never stop laughing.

No joke.
Now that is funny!

I have never understood that one myself......horrible casting.....

I don't think Reeves is a good actor by any stretch of the imagination but I do find something likeable about the guy. I can enjoy movies he is in. But I don't really like the idea of this remake, or the casting. Though Rod has a point....:p

My writing partner wrote an article for Film Threat Magazine about Keanu that praised his appeal, claiming his complete lack of interior character that makes him the perfect everyman. He's such an empty vessel that anyone can place themselves in his shoes - there's nothing prohibitive about him, nothing complex standing between his character and the audience.

But then again he also wrote an article called "Everything I Need to Learn in Life I Learned from ROADHOUSE"
-Be Nice... Until it's time to not be nice
-Always carry your medical records on you
-Pain is temporary, chicks dig scars
-The Mullet is always more powerful than the crewcut...etc

Jennifer Connelly has joined Keanu Reeves for the ''Day The Earth Stood Still'' remake.

The Scott Derrikson-directed pic kicks off as aliens land on Earth carrying a message for all humans: Live in peace or be destroyed.

Connelly is set to portray Helen Benson, the role Patricia Neal played in the 1951 original.

Fox has set a December start date in Vancouver.
