The Day the Earth Stood Still 7 Minute Footage!
By Kellvin Chavez on September 15, 2008

Last night Fox had an encore for the series premiere of "Fringe" which was folllowed by an exclusive first look at an extended scene from Keanu Reeves' The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The film co-stars Jennifer Connolly, Kathy Bates, Jaden Smith, Jon Hamm, and Kyle Chandler.
Check out the film clip below.
"The Day the Earth Stood Still" is 20th Century Fox's contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."
The Day the Earth Stood Still Opens December 12th 2008

Will Smith is an A-list celebrity icon with alotta clout, he probably demanded that his kid be in this film. You're gonna see his kid in alotta movies from now, whether the kid suits the role or not

the kid playing the step son of lovely jennifer IS Black not half anything...it's Will Smith & Jada Pinkett's son. as for the movie it seems to be veering greatly from the premise of the original, which is my all time favorite. and mr rennie was more human than, mr reeves. His attitude seemed more like one of an adult dealing with children and young adolesents. Keanue is more robotic (at least in the ext.trailer). maybe he should have played Gort (LOL!) and of course we are all waiting to see the fabulous kickass GORT.

Maybe Hollywood writers should be required to pass a drug test before submitting movies to producers. Maybe producers should read the movie description before they are gonna' film.

I like the idea that it should have been a sequel. A cheap remake following the exact storyline would have been fine, with cameos. But they get these grandiose visions.

this movie bites. What a peice of garbage. This is a waste of film in my opinion. Leave the classics alone...
PermalinkGort was there at the end before the title scene look at it again.
PermalinkWTF Tue Sep 16 at 23:19 EST
WTF was that crap. Keanu Reeves is horrible. Its like he still playing his role in the matrix. To even use the same name as the original is a sin. That movie was a classic.

This would have been better suited as a folllow up to the original. Where the earth did not comply to the warning of taking nuclear arms to space and is set for destruction by the robot cops. If Reeves' character is Klaatu trying to save earth from destruction then it may work

could be cool movie Tue Sep 16 at 14:43 EST
This was an all time favorite movie. Cult status. A remake is smart however it appears too far left of the original message/intent. It is a shame that they appear to have veered off course with this movie. Even today, when on tv, we watch it like it was the first time

HELP!!!! Tue Sep 16 at 12:27 EST
Well the writers watched independence day toooo many times! This doesn't comapir to the original. Again the boring writers went WAY OUTSIDE the context of the original. They should have titled this movie "THE DAY INDEPENDENCE DAY STOOD STILL"

They Missed it Tue Sep 16 at 09:32 EST
They have missed the point ans evidenced by the rediculous action scenes and the destruction. Klaatu's point is to avert destruction. They have no understanding of the original. Hollywood needs to make new original movies intead of simply ruining classics with remakes that have no understanding of the stories literature.

Looks pretty good! Tue Sep 16 at 08:44 EST
Can't wait for this one. Hopefully Keanu nails this classic. As for "Hater"...what the hell? Was that absolutely necessary?
