If they cast Reeves over Jim Carey, they deserve whatever they get. Likely another flop like Speed Racer. Carey was born for the role.

I can’t believe this!
Jim Carrey is PlasticMan not Keanu.

I always perceived Keanu as more of a plastic-coated 2×4; wooden acting at the core, with plastic to make sure wetness doesn’t cause the wood to rot.

When I heard of a remake of Day The Earth Stood Still, I thought, “No…this is a test…like an air-raid siren; not really gonna happen”. Then I heard Keanu was stepping into Michael Rennie’s spacesuit boots and thought, “NOOOOOOOOO!” Keanu is so Johnny-(Mnemnonic)One-Note in his dramatic range, Gort from the original DTESS had more emotional flexibility!

> A plastic actor playing a plastic man..I really don’t see what the problem is here…

Simple:
Keanu is bakelite
Plastic Man is Silly Putty.

Get the picture?

I agree…for sheer PlasticMan attitude, it HAS to be Jim Carrey!!!

Who said Speed Racer was 10 years ahead of it’s time??

I’m sure Ang Lee is saying the same thing about his version of a comic movie.

“Keanu’s manager -Mr Stoff-has said this is not true. He is not doing Plastic Man. Why don’t you get your facts verified before you report it???”

Lighten up Francis, this site isn’t about life or death. It is for movie and tv news. Sometimes movie and TV news is not always “quite” concrete. My bet is that either the Wachowski’s, Keanu or a studio suit put out this rumor to get a vibe of how it would play. Hopefully they have gotten the point.

If the Wachowskis really only want to do films with Keanu, I say good for them. I mean… good luck. Align yourselves with an actor whose only character is a clueless surfer.

His acting has as much reach as R2D2

Sure, get the least ‘flexible’ actor to play Plastic Man. Brilliant!

Joking aside, I was planning on being Plastic Man for the Halloween Fetish Ball in Vegas this year, but this news has ruined it for me. I’ll go back to plan B… Flash Gordon

Hey, don’t forget to drop a comment at /Film, Comics2Film, TheMovieBlog, FilmSchoolRejects, MTV, ReelComix, IWatchStuff, AintItCool and Cinematical and straighten all those guys out as well since they reported the same thing.

An oh yeah, no one reported this as VERIFIED.

Best regards,

Vic

I can tell you already that this movie will suck. The Wachowskis caught lighting in a bottle with the first Matrix and they’re not going to be able to do it again. Plastic Man, sheesh. They’d be better off with Jim Carrey playing the part more than Keanu Reeves.

Plastic-Man?

This is my worse nightmare. I hope this movie never sees the light of day. I really hope this isn’t WB/DC’s answer to Iron Man.

I think I posted about this 2-3 days ago in an open discussion, but I’m not sure this movie will be that great.

Obviously EVERYONE is trying to join in on the comic book crazy, im not sure plastic man will have that much of an appeal.

Didn’t we already see him in a movie? If they do this it will look like a cheap rip-off of F4.

I always liked Plastic Man but I really hope that they update his costume.

Kofi, you gotta be shi**ing me. DC has more than 2 characters?

Who knew?
