This isn't really news I am interested in, it is just a way to somehow relate this post to Freaks and Geeks. Keanu Reeves will star in 20th Century Fox's remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, the classic 1951 sci-fi movie directed by Robert Wise. The actor will play Klaatu, a humanoid alien who arrives on Earth with a warning to world leaders that their continued aggression will lead to annihilation by species watching from afar. Michael Rennie (The Third Man) played Klaatu in the original. Director Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct the updated remake from a script by David Scarpa.
How does this relate to Freaks and Geeks you might ask? Well, it doesn't really but in the Halloween episode Tricks and Treats Sam Weir dresses up as Gorth, who is the robot from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still.
