Jun 15 2007Reeves Says No to Manhattan
"Thanks, but I'll pass. Also, whoa."
According to Club Keanu, the rumor that Keanu Reeves was offered the part of Dr. Manhattan in the upcoming Watchmen adaptation is indeed true, though the actor has turned down the role. I'm somewhat surprised he wouldn't take it, since it seems like this thing's going to be a pretty big deal, but still not nearly as surprised as I am with the existence of a "Club Keanu."

Thank christ.
He would have been awful. They need someone like a young John Hurt. Hell, Cusack would be fine if he looked alright naked, bald, and blue.

Thank god. Though in fairness to Keanu, and keeping in mind that it's been at least 15 years since I read Watchmen, that role doesn't exactly require a lot of range.
