Upcoming

[shakatany]

Well they're remaking one of my favorite SF movies "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. I'll wait to see how the finished project turns out but I'm not very hopeful *sigh*

Also Eliza Dushku has just signed a talent deal with Fox. Wouldn't it be something since Fox apparently controls the rights to Faith and has Tim Minear under contract that they'd create a "Faith the Vampire Slayer" series? They could have as guest stars Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Juliet Landau, Mercedes McNab, Alexis Denisoff or any of the other fabulous actors/characters who appeared on either BtVS or Angel. I don't know if Joss Whedon's input or permission would be needed but I'd so much prefer a live action show to those crappy comics *another sigh*

I liked Keanu in the Matrix. Not sure about a remake of TDtESS, as you say remakes often don't do so well.

I would not mind seeing FtVS those characters were all interesting. Tim Minear's "Drive" was somewhat disapointing have not finished watching the final episodes on the web. Perhaps it's time he had something new/old :)

Well I don't know what they've got plnned for Eliza Dushku but Tim Minear is now teaming up with Todd Holland for something called "Miracle Man".

I have nothing against Keanu Reeves but I had such a crush on Michael Rennie/Klaatu way back when. Also I'm tired of all these remakes which are genrally worse than the originals. There's talk of another "Dune", "The Illustrated Man", "Escape to Witch Mountain" plus a re-do of the original "Star Trek" set at the Academy with young versions of our heroes including Zachary Quuinto playing Spock (I liked Klaatu but I loooved Leonard Nimoy/Spock so this is pretty upsetting). There's just so little original stuff coming out of Hollywood *sigh*.
