The Day the Earth Stood Still: promising first trailer
- 12 July 2008
- John Howell
If this first trailer is anything to go by, Keanu Reeves’ big budget remake of the 1951 science fiction classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, will be superb. The trailer left me with the impression that we're looking at a complete revamp of the original story, rather than a simple modernisation. The brief glimpses of the alien ship, the stunning special effects, and watching Keanu Reeves being subjected to a lie detector test by the military are enough to make me start counting the days until the movie's 12 December release date.
You can watch the first trailer of The Day the Earth Stood Still remake at Apple here.
Keanu Reeves stars as the extraterrestrial visitor “Klaatu”, along with his giant 8-foot robotic protector “Gort”. Jennifer Connolly plays the love interest Helen Benson, while John Cleese plays a physicist, Dr. Barnhardt, a Nobel Prize laureate who helps work out why Klaatu and Gort have come to earth.
