Jennifer Connelly joins Keanu Reeves in Sci-Fi Remake





Jennifer Connelly will star opposite Keanu Reeves in a remake of the 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still. She will play the role of a widow and young mother who meets Reeves’s , Klaatu, an extraterrestrial who attempts to convince mankind to live peacefully or face annihilation from other planets along with his indestructible robot , Jaden Smith as Jacob, and also Kathy Bates . Filming is due to start next year, with the director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Scott Derrickson, at the helm.

This movie will more likely remain true to the story upon which the 1951 movie is based .

In the 1951 movie, Gort is described as one of a race of robots created by the planets to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. If the 2008 remake follows the short story by Harry Bates , "Farewell to the Master" upon which the 1951 movie is based, it will be revealed at the end of the movie by Gort himself that he is the master, and not Klaatu.

Its been a longtime since Keanu Reeves gave hit , may be he could prove himself with this movie .
