Keanu Reeves will no longer play Dr. Manhattan
July 10, 2007
Long time no post, huh? Lack of feedback, lack of news and mainly, lack of time.
Anyway. We’ll probably have more information over the next weeks because of the San Diego ComicCon. But the website CHUD has divulged an inside information on the casting and that is: Keanu Reeves will no longer play Dr. Manhattan.
The one to be tinted in blue will now be Billy Crudup (from Almost Famous, Big Fish, MI-III). According to the site, Reeves was discarded after asking for more money than Snyder would offer.
Not making a g deal out of it, but as far as interpreting facts goes, this just exposed what kind of film this is : So far no one is in it for the story’s sake, they’re just making another commercial movie. It’s not like those projects where you have some cast and crew sign themselves in because they’re fans (Like The Lord of the Rings). The few people who were interested on the adaptation dropped out. What could this mean?
