Peace on Earth, goodwill to Mad Men: Jon Hamm, a.k.a. Dick Whitman/Don Draper, joins the cast of Scott Derrickson’s The Day The Earth Stood Still remake, currently starring Keanu Reeves (the alien) and Jennifer Connelly. “Hamm will play Dr. Granier, a NASA official who recruits Helen (Connelly) for the scientific team investigating an alien’s arrival on Earth.” Hamm’s impressive on Mad Men, and it’ll be good to see him make the leap to the Big Screen…but an unnecessary remake of a 50’s sci-fi classic from the director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose? I have doubts.
