Someone gave Keanu Reeves a camera crew, and sent him out hunting for famous directors to carry on the great debate of digital versus film. Watch film greats such as Martin Scorsese, James Cameron and Steven Soderbergh talk movies — it's kind of a rare treat to see all these directors share their opinions on digital movie-making (especially with the entire 3D debate). Get a sneak peek at the documentary Side By Side now with the first released trailer. More »

The next bit of heartburn-inducing Akira news has leaked all over the internet. Keanu Reeves is rumored to be tapped for the role of Kaneda. But we're doubtful that casting Neo can appease people's concerns about whitewashing. More »

Neo might be returning to the big screen, according to the original spoon-bender, Keanu Reeves himself. Reeves just spilled the beans on the Wachowskis' plans to make two more Matrix movies! Update: It's a hoax. More »

Oh, we had us a fine time tweet-lambasting our way through the Wachwoskis' hotly anticipated-thoroughly underwhelming second chapter in the Matrix trilogy. In case you missed it, here's the cream of the crop. More »

Keanu Reeves latest character in the the space love story Passengers is stuck between a rock and a cryogenically frozen body. We're not sure if we agree with Reeves' drastic response, but it's gotta be better than The Lakehouse. More »

Producer Lauren Shuler Donner commented on the potential for a Constantine sequel, remarking "Looks very good. Thinking about it. Looking for a writer." This one should most definitely be short on the Keanu and long on Peter Stormare's Devil. [Sci Fi Wire] More »

To everyone who wonders what the point of remaking The Day The Earth Stood Still is, you're not alone. In fact, one of the first people to question the remake was the new Klaatu himself, Keanu Reeves. Is he one of us after all? More »

Extraterrestrial elitism is the worst kind of alien domination, especially when the alien in question has shown up because we humans have mismanaged the place so poorly. MTV has a couple of new clips from The Day The Earth Stood Still remake, and they show Keanu lecturing the stoopid humans for being so mean to mother nature. But guess who's not going to take it? Will Smith's little boy Jaden — because if there's one thing he learned from his poppa, it's how to punch out an alien. The videos await you below. More »

Don't take our word for it — just check out this exclusive clip from one of the featurettes from the new TDTESS DVD re-release, and find out what went into making Rennie the definitive Klaatu. More »

Last night, the new big-budget remake of scifi classic The Day The Earth Stood Still debuted about 7 and a half minutes of new footage, and it's pretty darn scary. Gone are the subtleties of 1950s acting, replaced with amazing new powers for Klaatu and CG spheres that will blow you away. More »

Keanu Reeves stares at his alien spaceship in this newly released image from The Day The Earth Stood Still. I'm wondering if he wears that suit throughout the entire movie, or if Gort jacks a menswear store for him at some point. Despite the dazed expression on Keanu's face, I have to admit the spaceship looks pretty cool and other-worldly. It's a nice spin on the classic flying-saucer shape. [Filmofilia] More »

Click to viewFor years I got blank stares when I told people that The Day the Earth Stood Still was my favorite movie. "It's this black-and-white science-fiction film from the 1950s," I'd say, and when they just gazed back at me, I'd finish with "look, just watch it, okay?" Little did I know that something far more sinister was in my future — now when I talk about The Day the Earth Stood Still, people will think I'm lauding the performance of one Keanu Reeves. The very thought makes me want to hurl the contents of my stomach all over my keyboard. More »

We got treated to two scenes and the trailer for December alien semi-invasion movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the classic early 1950s flick. Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, and director Scott Derrickson were on hand to discuss. While the original 50s film was about an alien who comes to Earth to tell humans to stop building atomic weapons or they'll be exterminated by the galactic community, the new flick has a contemporary twist that doesn't involve old-school atomics. Also, Keanu Reeves' Klaatu is extremely badass: We got treated to a clip where we see his full powers, which I'll delve into below, along with comments from Reeves, Connelly, and Derrickson. More »

lTwo new The Day The Earth Stood Still posters have come out, showing more of the imposing Gort and Klaatu's sweet spaceship. Question: does Klaatu drive a planet? If so, isn't that a lot of room for just one spaceman and Gort? Which makes me question, how dangerous Klaatu is this year? Is he bringing a bigger weapon than before, possibly the size of a planet? Or will Klaatu's people be launching an assault on foot? I'm game for a total stone-faced alien military occupation of Earth. Click through for a better look at the spaceship and more pictures of the universe's best robot body guard. More »

Rumors are churning that the Wachowski Brothers are itching to make a movie based on the adventures of Plastic Man, starring their favorite Hollywood hero Keanu Reeves. Am I the only one confused by this match up? Plastic Man was practically the definition of body humor, and slapstick comedy isn't really in Reeves' wheelhouse. I actually can't think of the last time Reeves made anyone laugh on purpose. This is a terrible match. We've got a list of who we think would actually do a good job playing the bendy superhero.

If Keanu Reeves seems to be acting a little stiffly in the new remake of the 1951 classic The Day The Earth Stood Still, it's entirely intentional. Reeves spent a lot of time thinking about his movements in the film, trying to use his physicality to seem as alien as possible without acting too quirky, director Scott Derrickson tells MTV. Meanwhile, the new all-CGI Gort (pictured) is as close to the 1950s version as possible, because Gort is a classic. Also, Derrickson says reports that the new Stood Still are all about the alien Klaatu warning us to stop destroying the environment are a tad exaggerated. More »

Here's the first teaser poster from December's remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves. As we reported a while back, the new version is missing many of the coolest moments from the original, and has an environmentalist message, as Keanu's Klaatu comes to warn us of our Earth-destroying ways.

Click to viewAnother classic science fiction franchise is getting the "reboot" treatment, but its biggest star could be even harder to recast than William Shatner's Captain Kirk. A new Bill And Ted movie finally got the green light — probably from the same people at MGM who thought that War Games sequel was a good idea — and it could show up in the next couple of years. The biggest question: where are they going to find an actor who can bring the Keanu? Click through for details. More »

Keanu Reeves just spilled the plot of his new Day The Earth Stood Still remake, and Brandon Routh has some insights into the Superman Returns sequel. There's also a video that showcases Shia LaBoeuf's "man of action" side in the new Indiana Jones movie. And there are tons of new details about upcoming Battlestar, Smallville and Lost episodes, including some crazy Lost rumors. Finally, there's a Doctor Who trailer, and some rumors about who's moving to Torchwood next year. Basically, "morning spoilers" does just what it says on the label.

What do you get when you combine a sentient, artificially intelligent subway train (starring Emma Clarke, the voice of the London Underground and Keanu Reeves) with Speed and Titanic? It turns out you get "Sentient Subway," a hilarious Hollywood movie pitch that needs a bit of work on its title. However, having heard this whole pitch, I'm going to go out on a limb and say... it ain't half bad. We'd take a ride on it. In fact, we're all for sentient every mode of transportation: bicycles, cars, roller skates, scooters. Just not buses. Those things are filthy. More »
