Keanu? Really?

This isn't going to be another commentary on how Keanu is a bad actor and manages to make every serious moment in a film seem like it was a production at an Orange County High School but why do casting directors keep picking him?! Wait, no, he probably didn't have to audition which is even worse. He has just been chosen to play the lead in a new Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde remake and what a mess it will be, not that there have been recent successful attempts at it (frankly the best I've seen lately is the tiny segment in The Pagemaster), but c'mon, it really is a great opportunity to make a dark, dramatic film that takes a smart approach to looking at human nature and you pick freaking Keanu Reeves. Fail. I mean for fucks sake, pick Hugh Jackman if you want an overrated actor--not that I'm not a fan, I totally watch Van Helsing every time it's on TV and think Mr. Jackman has upgraded since The Prestige--but not Keanu. His only saving grace was The Matrix and yes, only the first one, yet he continues to be cast in movies with potential like A Scanner Darkly which worked only despite him, and Much Ado About Nothing which he famously destroyed. Please, keep him in movies like The Replacements so that he can actually be enjoyed without trying too hard. He knows kung-fu, not how to act guys. The Strange Case of Dr. Dude and Totally Hyde should be great. Idiots.
