The Day The Earth Stood Still (Dec. 12, 2008)
The Day The Earth Stood Still is a remake after the movie with the same title from 1951. Still three weeks away, the movie stars actors like Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly.
I have to admit, I’ve never seen the 1951 movie, but I’m really looking forward to the 2008 version. You can see the trailer of the movie below.
A representative of an alien race that went through drastic evolution to survive its own climate change, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) comes to Earth to assess whether humanity can prevent the environmental damage they have inflicted on their own planet. Klaatu himself already has a negative opinion of humans, and when barred from speaking to the United Nations, he decides they shall be exterminated so the planet – with its rare ability to sustain complex life – can survive. It is up to Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith) to convince Klaatu humans are worth saving: but it may already be too late.
The trailer looks absolutely great so I’m really looking forward to its launch.
