I seem to have a penchant for reading myself into places where I am completely unable to extricate myself. These places often seem to leave me on a literary cliffhanger or left in the lurch in a romantic storyline where the end could be either happy or grim. I have a terrible knack for doing this to myself, leaving myself several months until the resolution arrives in my nice little Amazon box on my front doorstep from a delivery man I am getting far too familiar with.

All of this rambling does have a point, as I reach the second week of what is definitely going to turn in to a hectic eight or so weeks of Star Wars reading.

In this week’s installment of our Countdown to Clone Wars series, we look at the three published books from the Star Wars: Republic Commando series. Spawned from the computer game of the same name, the Republic Commando Series is written by Karen Traviss and is a paragon of franchise writing.

Our friends over at /Film have posted the teaser trailer for the Twentieth Century Fox remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, which stars Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, and Kathy Bates.

Watch teaser trailer here below.

The teaser trailer debuted in theaters this weekend in front of showings of the Will Smith superhero movie Hancock. In the remake, directed by Scott Derrickson, Smith’s son Jaden Smith stars as Jacob, the stepson of Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly).

In this reimagining of the 1951 cult classic science fiction film, Reeves stars as the humanoid alien Klaatu, who comes to Earth along with his protective robot Gort. While the Cold War-era original had the alien come to warn the humans to end their warmongers or face annihilation, Klaatu’s message in the remake has more of an environmental theme.

In an interview with MTV, Reeves explained his version of the film.

Gary Oldman revealed that not only will he have a part in the Robert Zemeckis motion capture/animated version of the classic Charles Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, but that he’s playing multiple roles — Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and Jacob Marley.

Gary Oldman as Tiny Tim. That’s about as curious in a part that you can get me.

Jim Carrey was the first big name to be involved in this project and he’s playing four roles — Scrooge, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.

Having one actor play the entire cast (or just a few characters) was a little weird in The Polar Express, so I wonder why not just cast different people for each of the roles? Beowulf didn’t have Angelina Jolie playing Grendel’s Mother AND Grendel and Beowulf, so I’m curious as to why Zemeckis does it with the Christmas movies. Maybe it’s just a money thing? Of course, it IS Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman, so it’s not like they won’t handle it and be great… just makes me wonder is all!
