The Day the Earth Stood Still Trailer
It’s here. The trailer for the next unnecessary remake has arrived and it’s difficult to tell if this will be any good.
Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, The Day the Earth Stood Still stars Reeves as Klaatu, an alien visitor who comes to earth with a robot called Gort. This is classic sci-fi at its best and although the Robert Wise original still stands up, I am curious to see this new vision of the classic tale, even with it’s multi-million dollar budget and slacked face acting from Reeves, who may just be brilliant casting in the lead role.
The trailer isn’t fantastic quality so it’s hard to tell just how good or bad these effects are but I do like a few of them. I just hope they haven’t gone just for an effects heavy film but have also paid a little attention to the story.
The Day the Earth Stood Still opens on December 12th.
UPDATED with higher quality video.
The trailer actually looks kind of cool, but to title it “The Day the Earth Stood Still” is a disgrace.
Did I see Will Smith’s kid in there too for a second?

Jesus you have good eyes. Yup, that’s Jaden Smith.
