This movie actually doesn’t look half bad despite being a remake of a classic. If you don’t blink you might even catch a glimpse of Gort the robot. Check out the trailer here.
MTV News talked with Keanu Reeves recently about 20th Century Fox’s highly secret remake of the sci-fi classic “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” The original 1951 film dealt with the then very real emerging danger of the Cold War and nuclear arms. The new version on the other hand, will be dealing with the contemporary threat of global warming.
Reeves said “The version I was just working on, instead of being man against man, it’s more about man against nature. My Klaatu says that if the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the earth survives. I’m a friend to the earth. …what we are doing and who we are as a species. We’re trying to reach beyond the idea of [just] environmentalism.”
Keanu confirmed that they “have another version of the robot”, Gort.
