Oct 30 2008Five Minutes of 'Day the Earth Stood Still' Trailer
Here's a five-minute preview for The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the sci-fi classic that takes that quaint shit and knocks it on its ass with so many CGI lasers. This trailer has removed all doubt that this is Keanu Reeves's best intense staring while in a suit performance since Johnny Mnemonic. So intense:
With all the jets v. alien warfare and the presence of Will Smith's progeny, did anyone else have a hard time not thinking it was an Independence Day sequel? I will, however, admit Gort is kind of awesome.

Ok - was NOT prepared for the appearance of Kathy Bates. And yes, Gort made me pee myself a little...

I think it was actually a really dramatic vacuum commercial.

I thought it looked pretty good, some of the writing was weak but looks entertaining.

Parts of it were filmed at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC! I'm going to see it just to see which parts I recognize. :)
