From Ifmagazine, thanks M

A few steps ahead of today's THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL presentation at Comic-Con, iF Magazine has already caught up with producer Erwin Stoff for some insider scoop about the upcoming reimagination of the 1951 classic. Stoff was at the NBC TCA's to promote his upcoming series KINGS, as well as to give us the exclusive news about a live-action COWBOY BEBOP film.

There hasn't been too much information so far about the new Scott Derrickson-directed THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL yet, aside from the basic plot. Keanu Reeves will be starring as Klaatu, an alien who arrives on Earth and triggers a global upheaval.

Constantine on Blu-ray will be presented in widescreen 2.4:1 1080p video and likely the identical 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio track found on the HD DVD, though that is currently speculation only.

All the supplemental features found on the HD DVD have carried over to Blu-ray and are outlined below.

Reeves Edge

t&b interview US, January 1989

A talk with the mysterious star of Dangerous Liaisons and River’s Edge.

It is difficult for me to think of another young actor today whose performances are as honest as those of Keanu Reeves. While Judd [Nelson] flares his nostrils, Rob [Lowe] flashes his choppers and Andrew [McCarthy] forces his pout, Reeves quietly delivers a deeply cutting edge to his roles -- from the moral Matt in the cult classic River's Edge, to the romantic Danceny in the current critic’s bon bon Dangerous Liaisons. His ethereal, amazingly true work in these movies, as well as in the acclaimed Permanent Record and The Prince of Pennsylvania, have made him film’s most believable spokesman for eighties youth. Yes, I felt impelled to talk with him. I wanted to find out what Mr. Reality is really about. And I did, I think, but not without agitating my stomach first.

A fan meets Keanu in London....from this blog  Thanks M

  

Keanu attended the press night of The Female of the Species at the Vaudeville Theatre in London yesterday.
Here is a short note about Keanu.
...
However, there were plenty of other famous faces, not least Hollywood’s Keanu Reeves who discreetly slipped in late and sneaked out a side door to avoid photographers on the red carpet.
...
No pictures there but you can see some at the gallery.

Regarding the rumor spreading like wild fire around the internet that Keanu would star in The Wachowski brothers movie Plastic Man......according to Mr. Erwin Stoff, it's "not true."  (thank you sir)

David Scarpa wrote the script for The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The Trades has an interview with him.

For many, remaking a classic film would seem a daunting task. To David Scarpa, it is an opportunity to bring a fresh vision to a timeless tale. “You’re following in the footsteps of something great,” the Hollywood scribe says. “If you set out to duplicate the exact same qualities [the original] had, I think you’d be destined to fail. You have to take the story as a point of departure for something completely new.”

SUZIE SAYS WHEN A MOVIE ICON AGES
 
In my 14-year Keanu Reeves fandom, I have seen him rise from a teenage 'Tiger Beat' pin-up to a bona fide leading man to a superstar cultural icon with no less than 4 movies which are considered classics in their genres, namely 'Bill and Ted', 'Point Break', 'Speed' and the 'Matrixes'.
Heck, I even got into writing because of Keanu Reeves. I tapped out a semi-article on him, sent it to the Star Editor and voila – she called me in. (This was in the nineties of course when we were all still wearing beehive hairdos.)...
