Oddly enough I might actually pay to see that.

There is no way I'm paying any amount of money to see Mr. T in anything.

Keanu *can* be good, he just needs to be in the right role. "Parenthood" is an absolute classic, he was a good fit for The Matrix, and I really, really liked "A Scanner Darkely". I'm not going to dismiss the movie till I see it! (Love the original btw)

I very much liked A Scanner Darkly as well. Too bad it didn't attract as much attention as it deserved.

No argument about The Matrix. Keanu was made for Neo (or Neo was made for him). :)

Yeah, it's one of my favorites too. Make me sad when no one knows about it.

I think it'll be hit or miss for Keanu, after looking at some of his other work. He has to potential, but he could also screw it up pretty bad. We'll see.

I'm skeptical of Keanu's ability to pull this off. I'm not sure if he's got it in him.

Yeah, I think I'd much rather see that movie than another bad remake of a classic.

Bring on another Bill & Ted movie.

Too bad the Bill & Ted people can't afford Keanu's salary these days. In all likelihood.

Hmm...on the other hand, Keanu must have taken a pay cut to star in A Scanner Darkly.
