WAITING to see: The Day the Earth Stood Still
A remake of the 1951 film of the same name, the 2008 version features Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly (she's a cutie!), Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm (who?), Jaden Smith (yes, Will Smith's son) and John Cleese (of Fawlty Towers fame).
The trailer doesn't reveal much. Reeves plays an alien in human form on Earth (not sure how he got there), who has knowledge of an impending attack from outerspace/aliens. From the looks of the trailer, Reeves is cool, collected, nuetral and somewhat indifferent (Matrix, Constantine, Speed). A few scenes show some bright light, a huge floating sphere and what looks like a swarm of dust or debri that disintegrates everything in its path. Connelly plays a scientist that investigates 'Klaatu' (Reeves' alien character). Earth's future seems to be tied to her.
Looks like a good one!
