While I'm not too happy about Keanu for the job I do have to point out that the days of him playing a hopeless airhead are very very far behind us. I didn't care for The Matrix but if that's any indication he shouldn't be too bad in the part.
Personally I'd rather see someone like Ralph Finnes playing Klaatu. Or if they're looking for someone to pander to a younger audience, Ewan McGregor.
