THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL: Aaron’s character recast

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL was released in theatres today (December 12, 2008). But don’t expect to find Aaron in the movie. Fans that have already seen the movie are reporting back that Aaron isn’t in it and his name is not in the end credits. Aaron had previously mentioned in an interview that he believed that his role had been recast and reshot and it appears to be true.

The message below is from Aaron ….

DESS

I am not in this film. do not go looking for me.

I was shot in the helicopter scene, recast a week later and it was reshot without me.

I have no idea why I am still in the credits but …. there you go.

I guess I just can’t act well enough for FOX Films. Too bad.

be well.

Apparently I am not in the credits of the film.

Good.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL: Trailer

It was announced on here back in December 2007 that Aaron would be in the remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL playing Sgt. Winter. A couple of weeks ago the official trailer was released ….

I asked Aaron if he had an update on whether he was going to be in the movie or not (because in the MediaBlvd interview back in May, he said “I had a very small part in The Day the Earth Stood Still, the new Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly film. I think they might have recast me and re-shot those scenes”) and he basically told me the same thing that he said in the MediaBlvd interview and that he hadn’t seen the movie and would be surprised if he was in it.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until December the 12th to see it in the cinemas and find out.
