Finally!! A Reason To Actually Watch THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL Remake!! (Potentially NSFW)
Merrick here...
In a decidedly shrewd maneuver geared towards distracting male audience members from the mediocrity & unnecessaryness (I know that's not really a word) of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL remake...as well as counterbalancing the lackluster casting of Keanu Reeves in a role meant to possess great pathos and gravity...Jennifer Connelly has been added into Scott Derrickson's upcoming film.
Since I first saw her in LABYRINTH, Ms. Connelly has stirred my loins in a way befitting my Viking heritage. I will be completely owned by this film every moment she is on screen. I will be mesmorized and hypnotized and dominated by her hot, hot majesty.
Then Keanu will talk, and fuck up my high. He probably won't even be called Klatu - they'll probably call him "Hank" or something.

what I said
-
damn you again.
-
not anymore
-
Don't assume everyone is up to speed on internet acronyms. And yeah, sadly, thats the Jennifer Connelly of a time gone past. She's still hot, but not like that.
-
honestly. why not? besides that they've already cast it, of course.
-
Not Suitable For Work = nakedness
-
Why, Why Why???
Been a fantasy since... well forever.
Sheesh... -
Jennifer Connelly used to OOZE sex out of her pores...anyone remember "Inventing the Abbotts?" My GOD, was she a bombshell in that. And of course she was all kinds of dirty in Requiem for a Dream. But post-BEAUTIFUL MIND, it's like she's become this frigid version of herself, and even her "sexy" parts of House of Sand and Fog were not really that sexy. Ten years ago she would have been THE actress to play Wonder Woman - I'd like to hear anyone refute that. But now...this leaves me kinda meh.
-
... and for the first time in my life i saw the most beautiful creature ever walked on earth
-
Still, can anyone photoshop the Wonder Woman costume onto her?
-
I'm sure the girl they have will look good in the suit, but she's a GIRL. Jennifer Connelly looks like a Woman. Ah well.
-
You want someone to Photoshop a costume ON to that?!
-
Well, she was the only good thing about Mulholland Falls. Mmm Boobies.
-
she does love the anal, from what i saw in Requiem.
-
She's alright... I'd hollow it out just the same, but I can't get past those MAN Brows.....
-
...she'd make a great Baroness for the upcoming GI Joe movie...(thou Famke would be as good)
-
Wonder Woman??? Don't make me laugh.
-
If you've got a thing for Jennifer Connelly, you gotta see Career Opportunities. Mmmm...heh, heh, heh...oh, yea...skating around Target with those two nice, big...
...later riding the pony ride...heh, heh, heh... -
check out the lake scene in this 1990 movie.
-
...whew. Nice picture.

She's still hot and alluring, but I miss seeing those gorgeous twins.

WTF ROFLMAO and any other phrases you can throw in as text speak.
Any chance of Sly updating us on the Death Wish stuff that all the other sites R covering today? -
TITS.
-
where shes on the beach. but keanu was good in a scanner d. i thought, but i dont know muh about his role in this one. still i dont hate the guy that much, except in dracula, the movie sucked anyways but he was playing the character as it was written though. but bill and teds and freaked were awesome.
-
It would have been better to make it a comedy. Wait… with KR maybe it IS!!! My Favorite SciFi Movie will finally be trashed. Sad thing.
I WON'T BE WATCHING -OR- BUYING THE DVD...

"I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you." - Klaatu
Seems Klaatu would vote 'No' on the remake too...

yowza.
-
I never quite understood what all my friends saw in Jennifer Connely, but now after that picture I finally think I do.
Also, this movie DOES NOT NEED TO HAPPEN! -
sort of in the same way I wasn't against "The Fly" being remade. It's a classic, and it does have a level of sacredness to it but I wouldn't put it in the same "Don't Ever Touch" category as The Godfather, Raging Bull or the "Enough Already" category of Body Snatchers. I guess for me there's a gray area for remakes. But really. Aren't there far better remake ideas or original movies that can be made with this money? And Keanu and Connelly do seem an odd pairing.
-
And Jennifer should donate some of her hair for cloning purposes. Every man alive deserves a Jennifer of his own.
-
If there IS a God he will strike Bettany and/or Reeves down before they commit this unconscionable sin!!! Failing that, please let ther ebe at least one uberdork out there who will vote from the rooftops on the first day of filming...
-
This chick couldn't save Ang Lee's Hulk but my God if those boobs didn't make my day better.
-
"Keep wearing that outfit in that picture and you'll find out! Klattu Barada Nicto, baby!"
-
but then again that doll playing her now is too young AND too skinny-should have been Evangeline Lily (just cos she looks like she could kick your ass). Anyway....dont tell me this remake is definatly happening-I was hoping theyve give up the idea after a few days.....I cant even build up the strength to rant about remakes anymore.....
-
Who the fuck cares? If they're good, then great. If not, that doesn't make the original any worse. Everyone here has this pseudo film-snob attitude, like "Oh no Moriarty hates remakes so I have to as well!" Occasionally, A remake is better. Sometimes, I don't like to watch black and white movies with little to no cultural relevance. I mean, sure, a lot of times something gets lost in the translation, but that does not mean it shouldn't be attempted.
-
" (yawns) morning again...lets see what we got here (God I need some coffee)....right...from an original script by Rian Johnson...naaaah, cant be arsed reading all that, nobodys seen it before....what comics are here....the green arrow? Does anybody really LIKE green arrow? ah fuck it-put under "potential Jude Law" project, no need to audition him....write, from an original-NO-ummm, "an unknown writer?" to hell with THAT....lets just see what was on tv last night-hmmm, Friday the 13th, The Birds, and the Dat the Earth stood still? Ah fuck it its almost lunch-DEBBIE GET ME THE WRITER OF CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN ON THE PHONE!! and go to HMV to get me those dvds....nah fno time for that too Ill just green light em already"
-
All the qualities that people don't like about him are sort of great for this role. Visually he looks like a modern version of the previous Klatu, but his sort of off kilter, semi inhuman laid back acting style I think would work great for Klatu. I'd be more worried about Jennifer Connelly doing that stupid over sincere, melodramatic, "I can't smile" acting she seems to do in every movie.
-
There's a bomb on your planet! If the planet goes above 50 mph, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50... (dramatic pause) it blows up.
-
its not so much the fact that they remake films, its that there are so MANY of them being made currently and more often than not, theyre awful.Plus the get major budgets and suffocate original writers trying to get an original story made in hollywood . It's getting close to being a worrying death knell for originality-I mean we cant think up good new horror or action icons and so we're just photocopying old ones or getting gereatric stars back firing a gun-and not in the Clint "unforgiven" way. The last truly great remake was The Fly and that was because it completley through the original out the window, characters and all....but current remakes try to emulate the original, bring back characters that were done perfectly the first time around, and completley misses the point-ala Michael Myers now having a laughibly cliched back story (although the Batman revamp actually gets the character more than previous incarntations but you cant really call them remakes). and I get your point about the original still being there-but its the fact that when they come out the remakes always outshine the original in the main public eye-unless your a film buff you wont really care as long as your entertained....I just dont like the idea of my son growing up thinking that Klatu IS keanu reeves, or tyler mane IS michael myers-cos theyre not. Those actors should be NEW iconic characters not poor retreads of classics...Keanu gets off there though cos he IS neo and Ted....however, if sean william scott starred as Ted in a remake, well we'd get upset. Christ Im rambling a bit...sorry!
-
Yeah, I don't think so. She's from the Tom Cruise Drama School of "intense staring". And yes, she is too thin these days and it's ruining her career. Take heed, Angelina Jolie!
-
There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. I know, I went there in a magical phone booth with a blonde guy that had no chance of being a star.
-
Congrats! YOU were the FIRST one to 'get it'! Good Job! God I hope this thing 'dies on the vine'... -Stark
-
would be with this example-you know avril lavigne right? you know the way shes says shes punk when shes just a basic pop princess who has basically fuck all to do with punk? imagine if she was to re-reord "Never Mind The Bollocks" a seminal album that summed up its time and place. Imagine then if your talking to some one about Never Mind The Bollocks and they turn out to be talking about an avril lavigne version-what do you say to that? sorry, Im talking to myself here...Im just very bored.
-
Potentially NSFW? Cute. Real cute.
-
Klatu was always kinda slow and droll. He was an alien!! Keanu already talks like this guy!! At least they are remaking a movie that is 50 years old, instead of these terrible horror/j-horror remakes that have been coming out of the anus of Hollywood. I am going to remain positive about this remake until they ACTUALLY fuck something up!
-
Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reducd to a burned-out cinder.

-
...not serious. For once. I'd like to see her smile, and often, in a film. Career Opportunities 2 for all I care, just something not so portentous.
-
But she reminds me too much of an old girlfriend... (SEE:EVIL DOGNAPPING AND CD COLLECTION STEALING WHORE!) ehem..... I got the last laugh though. She got knocked up to the next guy she got with who then left her, now she's fat... Yippee!! I'm getting off the subject aren't I.. Jennifer OCnnolly is not bad lookin' just doesn't do it for me... HANK BARADA NIKTO!!
-
..and how old is that pic..? Anywho, The Fly and The Thing remakes benifitted by updating themes to fit the times of the '80s. If The Day The Earth Stood Still were to update itself, it would warn us of what..? Instead of nuclear bombs that could threaten existence outside of our galaxy, would it be global warming...? Keanu would warn us to control our carbon emissions or we will destroy ourselves...and why would an interstellar traveller care about any of this?
-
I've never been impressed by her. But that's all it takes to make fanboys perk up...
-
made a good movie. this remake is tank worthy already
-
Abso-freakin-lutely gorgeous pic.
-
Get her to gain 10 - 15 pounds and I agree she'd make a pretty good Wonder Woman.
-
Cast in THE ROCKETEER, Jennifer Connelly did not play the Bettie Page role originally conceptualized by founder/artist Dave Stevens: the role, unfortunately, was sanitized for the family trade. Connelly is a good actress (DARK WATER) but the "jiggle" trademark has faded. In regard to THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL...to paraphrase Chico Marx, "WHY a remake?" To transform Gort into a CGI hybrid? And the climactic "peace" message will be sledgehammered with all the subtlety of Rosie O'Donnell attacking chili burgers. Next thing you know, they'll remake Pal's WAR OF THE WORLDS with updated f/x technology, THX noise and a listless star...wait a sec...
-
If you don't know what JCT stands for, look at the photo again.
-
And she's still hawt, but just not as hawt as she used to be.
Still... damn you, Paul Bettany. -
She hasn't looked that good since the mid 90's. :/ When her boobs vanished, so did my love for her. Why Jennifer whyyyyyy!!!!
-
Still beautiful. Still sexy. Still wish I was locked overnight in a Target with her.
-
Na. Great look for the Amazon, but not the right mix of "Listen up, UN", and "Kickin' yo' ass"
-
...Since statistics suggest that he'll be either killed or horribly crippled after playing Supes.
-
way to piss on the tragedy of others
-
it IS kind a funny
-
Instead of destroying the Earth, he'll sit down with the offending parties and have a group discussion with them over a can of 20w-50 and tofu sandwiches. Group hug everyone!
-
I remember having a crush on her after seeing Labyrinth and then not seeing her on the silver screen for a few years untill The Rocketeer. My my how that girl had blossomed over that time. Shame that she's lost so much weight recently that her exquisit breasts have shrunken back to a mere handfull.
-
She was unbelievably hot back in LABYRINTH/THE ROCKETEER/CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, but she just doesn't look nearly as hot now since she lost weight.
-
The problem with remakes is that they're an easy way for studios to make a buck without having to do anything creative (except for the rare case in which a remake is good). So they remake an old film with a screenplay touched up by some hack and shoot it instead of putting out new, original material (of which there is plenty, I'm sure, to go around, they just tend to lack 'splosions and built-in audiences and happy meal tie-in potential, etc).
-
What if they gave Jennifer Connelly a television series and she was so old, skinny and sexless that people wouldn't even tune in to see her for free?The $treet (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247135/ Dropped aftet 12 episodes. What if Jennifer Connelly was in a movie with "brief nudity" but she wasn't the one getting naked?The Hulk! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286716/
-
Give me some money and I'll remake Citizen Kane with Jessica Biel. You hear that you Hollywood douchbags!!!!I got your next hit right here.
-
Better it happen to Keanu than an actor who's worth his salt.
-
and a pretty good actress too... great choice.
-
to notice her "man brows". How can you get past those big, beautiful, round,....eyes? I love the Rocketeer and she is one of the main reasons.
To see her actually "fill" out a dress again. (sigh) -
it's fucked up, but it's true.
-
All women peak in their late teens/early 20s and then it is downhill from there. But she is still attractive and I can see her in that role. I don't think she has hit the wall yet.
-
Sometimes the 20s are like high school. Chubby, pimply, ditzy college girls transform at 30 into healthy, savvy foxes who know how to handle themselves. 30's are by no means downhill for all women. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say women in their 30's do it better. You heard it here first, from samurai sark
-
Connelly was in the Hulk and she couldn't save that mess let's not put the weight of the world on her shoulders to carry TDTESS. She's a good actress but lets wait to see how the script and director turns out. Who under 25 has even heard of the original movie? I'm down for the remake.
-
Alien Keanu is spot on. Jennifer Connelly is still mesmerizing. Kathy Bates will enrich the film. BUT, why is this movie even being made? The original now looks campy and preachy. No modern audience will sit still for it. The "great speeches" in it are laughably heavy-handed to modern ears. The whole theme of the movie will just cause moviegoers' eyes to roll.
This film needs to look very little like the 50's original, and a lot more like Independence Day. -
Jenn was certainly hot in the day as that old photo certainly attests, but not only did she
get (and now is) much thinner, but also unfortunately got her DD boobs reduced a few years ago to a B size. -
Wayne6000, you better be lying.

Ever since Career Opportunities has Ms. Connelly made the moon chase the sun in my universe. What an uttrly breath taking creature and any movie no matter how bad it may be is so much better off with her in it. And what a great picture. I say, "Well done, sir. Well done!"

if it doesn't also have David Bowie as the Goblin King dancing in tights and singing "Dance Magic Dance The power of the babe. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? Do what? The power of the babe!"
-
the days when Jennifer Connelly used to be perfectly filled out, she had the tits, had the ass, was always able to act; she had everything. Still a very beautiful woman, of course minus the proper thickness she used to have. I miss those days...
-
Ever since Requiem For A Dream, she's lost a ton of weight (losing that appealing "baby fat" voluptuousness) and, even worse, hasn't SMILED more than two or three times. A damn shame. I had the FIERCEST crush on her in her Rocketeer/Career Opportunities days.
-
I still don't think this movie can be saved.
-
....but not bombshell hot like 10 years ago. I still have the hots for her. But she's turned into a talented, serious actress as well - don't tell me she didn't deserve that Oscar.
-
This is one of the best fucking sci-fi movies ever made, and some assholes are going to remake it - with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu?!?!? Fuck that - this remake will suck ass and won't even come close to the original. Fucking Michael Rennie WAS Klaatu. Who the fuck is going to match that? This remake craze is bullshit, fucked up crap and it's making want to vomit. What's next, a Star Wars remake? Don't think someone hasn't thought of that one either. FUCK!
-
Jennifer was not the Baby in Labyrinth, she was the teenage girl, the baby character was her half brother. And as for the remake, I wish that Unholywood would lay off of the remakes for a bit, but I wouldn't mind seeing this remade if done well. Hollywood needs to quit making remakes and get massive, quality, high buget projects going on the following titles... #1. Neuromancer, #2. Ringworld, #3. Blood Music, #4. Snowcrash, #5. The Stand (forget the bland tv mini-series), #6. Wild Seed, #7. Schizmatrix, #8. Old Man's War, #9. Hard Boiled (comic), #10. Hammerfall. Oh Well, one can dream...
-
she did get breast reduction. she l0ooked hot before.. now mereley *meh*
-
Can't wait for this remake! Will get in line 2 days before it opens. I will sleep on the pavement near the box office like a homeless person. I shall do this for every remake Hollywood releases! Hooray for RemakeyWood!
-
Flame away bitches but I reckon right now, at the beginning of the 21st century, as we start to consider using twin ion engines to take a closer look at Earth-like planets we now know are there for sure, and China dares the US into going back to the moon, and some idiot threatens nuclear war as a distraction from the price of oil - I'd say this would be the PERFECT time to bring this story into a modern context!
The internet was meant to be DARPA's ultimate defence against foreign hackers compromising a system that has become increasingly dependent on computerisation - can you imagine what kind of chaos would ensue if ALL of the servers in ALL of the world ALL stopped ALL AT THE SAME TIME??
I for one welcome our new- err... I mean, BRING IT ON, I SAY!!
And Keannu Reeves can suck my big fat hairy balls! -
I only wish she didn't have some sort of self image problem and went and hired a personal work-out trainer. She was a goddess, now just another skinny taught-skinned actress. Ah, the humanity.
-
...Take a gander at this recent, 'cleavage thrusting out' pic, see if you dont agree, boys...

-
way to merge two memes in one TB.
-
And I think this remake could work.
-
sigh...While I cannot find words to justify the amazingly huge amounts of hotness that is the pic above, I still think she is hot.
-
but it's....perfect...
-
is dead and gone. She went all Nicole Ritchie on us when she decided to trade her boobs for "serious" acting chops. We'll always have "House of Sand and Fog" to keep us warm at night.
-
You have to admire a hot actress who circumvents only a physical persona by yielding to breast reduction. As it turns out, Connelly is a damn good actress. The starlets who adhere to breast embellishments (over and over) have nothing to offer but plastic: sample a non-talent like Pam Anderson (whose p.r. stunts have become painfully pathetic; she's the Edy Williams of her generation. C'mon, grandma, your tits are about as appealing as Bill Shatner's phony hair).
-
She could have still had those tremendous ta-ta's and have been a good actress. Honest.
-
I'm going to the car wash baby!
-
I told Jennifer explicitly that I did not want her giving our love session photos to anyone.
Seriously though, I've never seen her look that good in any movie. -
Jennifer Connelly is a fine actress and very watchable, no matter her breast size. It's true that H-wood only started to take her seriously after her reduction surgery. I'd watch her in any movie she decides to make.... and Keanu is an inspired bit of casting, in my opinion.
-
And yes, the "The Hot Spot" was one great noir film w/ her nevering looking better. Well... of course you have the Nick Nolte noir film as well. Name escapes me. Point is, she was one hot piece of ass! One for the ages. Then she went crazy and got too thin and lost what made her sexy as fuck!!!!!!!!!!
-
And George Carlin plays Klaatu's talking testicle. Interesting...
-
Or is this the first time I've ever seen Jenifer Conrholy as hot?
