Hamm goes on alien hunt
Jon Hamm (AMC's Mad Men) signed on opposite Keanu Reeves (Constantine) and Jennifer Connelly (Blood Diamond) in Fox's sci-fi remake The Day the Earth Stood Still. In the update of the 1951 classic, Hamm will play Dr. Granier, a NASA official who recruits Helen (Connelly) to investigate an alien's arrival on Earth. Reeves will play that very alien who carries a simple message: Live in peace or be destroyed. David Scarpa (The Last Castle) wrote the screenplay and Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct.
