Monty Python veteran John Cleese will join Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Kathy Bates and Jaden Smith in 20th Century Fox's remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, according to IGN. Cleese will play physicist Dr. Barnhardt, a Nobel Prize laureate who plays a key part in figuring out the mission and meaning of the arrival of the alien Klaatu (played by Reeves). In the original 1951 film an alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets.
