Golden Globe nominee Jon Hamm of “Mad Men” will star opposite Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly in the sci-fi remake “The Day the Earth Stood Still” for Fox.

Hamm will play Dr. Granier, a NASA official who recruits Helen (Connelly) for the scientific team investigating an alien’s arrival on Earth. Reeves plays Klaatu, the alien who has a simple message: Live in peace or be destroyed.

Principal photography began Dec. 12 in Vancouver. Hamm started shooting Tuesday, according to the studio.

Hamm is up for a Golden Globe as lead actor in a drama for his role on AMC’s “Mad Men,” which also earned a nom for drama series. He next will be seen with Josh Lucas in the indie thriller “The Boy in the Box.”

I decided it was time for a little change so here we have a new look, the dark version was a bit depressing. I hope you like it and as always suggestions and feedback are more than welcome.

A photographer has filed a lawsuit against Keanu Reeves after the actor allegedly crashed into him in a Porsche.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court said Reeves struck Alison Silva on March 19. At the time of the accident, authorities said the person Reeves struck was a male photographer.

The suit seeks an unspecified amount in damages and alleges Silva suffered shock and serious bodily injuries.

A lawyer for Reeves did not immediately return a phone message Monday evening.

Reports at the time of the accident said Reeves was leaving a parking space about 50 kilometres south of downtown Los Angeles when he hit Silva.

A lawyer for Reeves said at the time Silva was blocking Reeves’ way and if there was a collision, it was not hard enough to cause injuries.

Jennifer Connelly will star opposite Keanu Reeves in a remake of the 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still. She will portray the part of a widow and young mother who meets Reeves’s character, Klaatu, an extraterrestrial who attempts to convince mankind to live peacefully or face annihilation from other planets. Filming is due to start next year, with the director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Scott Derrickson, at the helm.

Twentieth Century Fox has announced they’re going for a Christmas 2008 release for The Day the Earth Stood Still, the remake of the 1951 classic. The movie was originally set for a May 9 release date, though it’s not clear whether that was 2008 or 2009.
