This afternoon 20th Century Fox provided Bloody-Disgusting with your first look at the teaser posters for The Day the Earth Stood Still, which arrives in theaters December 12th, 2008. In the original 1951 film an alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets. Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Kathy Bates and Jaden Smith all star.

Wonder how long till an E.T. remake......

I thought they already did-

Remake E.T. or rather redid some of the special effects and released a 20 year anniversary edition.

I guess hollywood has run out of Ideas....

What Next- Brad Pitt in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" but hopefully they will not try to remake "Gone With The Wind"

Klaatu, barada, nifhdosihadofij.

Ok then.

Ok, so maybe I didn't say every single syllable! :D

Man, I can't wait to see this remake actually. TDTESS is one of my favorite movies!

Klaatu, barada...necktie?

There was just a 10 minute preview on Fox (yes, the TV station) that's got me incredibly more hyped up for this movie!

Saw it here, forgot to post it:

Should be on the Internet (YouTube or otherwise) fairly soon.... looked amazing though.

Cheers for heads up, I wondered when there would be news about this!

Rappy I agree with you this might be a fail in the making. The original will probably always stand as the best version.

[Ayepecks]

From the 10 minutes I saw... I'm not expecting any fail.

I said fail originally this was before all the hype and I saw some footage last week at the UK National Movie Awards and it looks promising so I agree with Ayepecks here.

Trailer was not bad.....

So Undecided on this one.

Why do so many of these movies equate to: Attack on Earth = NY City?

Seen enough of this movie already.

[Emn1ty]

It is much harder to show an attack on Earth that spans the entire planet without literally showing the entire earth being attacked. The point of these movies is to assume that the rest of the world is undergoing similar experiences. Not to mention attacking one of THE largest cities in the world with the most dense population in the United States is probably what a race taking over a planet would do. Wipe out the centers then clean up the stragglers. Thats how it was supposed to work in Independence day as well as War of the Worlds.

Keanu Reeves : 'Whoa. Aliens."

I saw an extended preview trailer for this over the weekend, and it looks awesome. The CGI alone is pretty sweet, but it looks like the story is all there too, which is good. I'm looking forward to it.

This looks pretty sweet at this point. But no matter what movie, this one included, I will only ever think of Keanu Reeves as Neo now. Damn Matrix movies.

And they better at some point in the movie say that famous line, or they will be riots! (well maybe not)

Oh and it was nice to finally (sorta) see Gort.

[Deathray]

I saw that preview earlier today... freaking amazing... I hope the movie is as good as it appears

I want him to create a sequel to Constantine!

Thank you! And here I thought I was the only one who loved that movie.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I recently saw Constantine and Street Kings, two movies that star Keanu Reeves. I loved 'em both and I know I'll love this movie. The trailer looked amazing. Is the 10 minute preview up on YouTube yet? I'm anxious to see it. That, and the extended preview.

Constantine :wub:

That's actually my favorite Reeves film. The Matrix (the first one) was good, but I still found Constantine more enjoyable.
