Remakes are taking over the world of filmmaking! The latest updated version of a classic is Scott Derrickson's "The Day the Earth Stood Still," which stars Keanu Reeves, Jaden Smith and Jennifer Connelly (read my review here). Let's take a look at what the Web's critics say about it:

• Cinematical's William Goss: "As a flashy big-budget distraction, 'Stood Still' is adequate overall -- rarely above, occasionally below -- and often familiar in its spectacle."

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "If it were just a workmanlike disaster movie, 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' might be a guilty pleasure or a fun distraction. But its cowardly treatment of the political issue at its center kills it."

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "In the 2008 version the story is of little consequence as long as things explode and cities are leveled."

As you can see in the title of this piece, the following is only a rumor at this point. Yeah, it may be a joke, so please take it with a grain of salt.

According to an anonymous AICN source, someone out there is planning a third "Speed" movie. I know, anonymous sources usually have zero credibility, but who knows? Hollywood is capable of anything.

Here's the message the folks at AICN got: "There's a scriptment floating around that reintroduces Jack Traven. So the studios are hoping to get Keanu back on board."

And who cares about this? No offense; I certainly loved the first "Speed" flick, but "Speed 2: Cruise Control" pretty much sucked and I don't see one reason why they should bring back Keanu Reeves' character for another round.

If this indeed turns out to be true, I'm eager to read what the film is about. Considering we already had a bus and a big ship, would they look into making a movie about a train or a plane, maybe?

Anyway, let me know below what you think about it. I seriously don't care about this rumor, but if you do, feel free to discuss this potential flick below.
