Klaatu Arrives Too Late to Save Planet from Imaginary Crisis
Posted by Dave Blount at March 23, 2008 7:31 PM
In the Cold War classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, an alien named Klaatu threatens to destroy the world if we won't stop squabbling. Though the Earth may stand still, Tinseltown has moved on to new causes for which to propagandize in the remake:
Fifty years later and Klaatu has a new message for humanity, but one with equally dire consequences should we choose to ignore it, Keanu Reeves, who is playing the alien in Scott Derrickson's upcoming remake, told MTV News.
"The first one was borne out of the cold war and nuclear détente. Klaatu came and was saying cease and desist with your violence. If you can't do it yourselves we're going to do it. That was the film of that day," Reeves explained. "The version I was just working on, instead of being man against man, it's more about man against nature. My Klaatu says that if the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the earth survives. I'm a friend to the earth."
If it's global warming Klaatu insists on saving us from, he got here a little late. Even the U.N. admits the warming trend has ended.
Too bad heavy-handed do-gooders from outer space don't land in Hollywood and demand it stop spewing moonbattery long enough to make some watchable movies.
Now will you take Al Gore's warnings seriously?
On a tip from wz.
