there is no spoon...excellent!

So word in Hollywood is that the latest remake of the classic multiple personality story, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is in development, written by the writer of Revolutionary Road and directed by Danish newcomer Nicolas Winding Refn. For such a story, only the most versatile actor can delve deep into the psyche of the twisted Dr. Jekyll, and deliver not one, but two, great performances.

So who have they found, you may ask?

Well, let's just say that beyond R.L. Stevenson novellas...
he knows kung fu
.


Yes kids, Keanu Reeves...the most one-dimensional actor in Hollywood is now being forced to play two characters in the same moviefilm. And not like Adaptation two characters, where at least they're twins. Two very, very different characters.

So unless he plans on channeling Dr. Neo and Mr. Ted, this movie will suck beyond recognition. Hopefully Reeves can prove me wrong, but my expectations have already bottomed out.

He did play normal Ted and evil robotic future Ted in the Bill & Ted films, isn't that talent enough? Foreshadowing perhaps?

Maybe not.
