Looking forward to Land Of The Dead. But don't get the title. I would have thought the working title of Twilight Of The Dead would have made more sense and keep it consistent with the other three films.

35 A Scanner Darkly
Philip K Dicks thriller about split personalities,
Some excellent looking films there. I can't believe i didn't know they were doing a feature length Wallace and Gromit - I can't wait to see that

Keanu Reeves is cool
He worked as Neo because Neo wasnt supposed to have any personality, but it worries me that off the back of that he's being (mis)cast in a lot of other Sci-Fi movies. He's also in Constantine on that list and from I know of the comics he's totally wrong for the part.

As long as Reeves, or any actor for that matter, works in the film role, i don't care how faithful it is to the comics. Some of the comics that are being adapted are great, and faithfulness to them is good, but at the end of the day they are adaptations and i don't mind if there are changes as long as the film is good in the end

Incidentally I just heard that yet another Philip K Dick story 'The Golden Man' will be adapted for the big screen, this one staring Nic Cage.
