Nice. A pretty good teaser trailer.

damn that looks sweet.

it looks cool, but it doesn't looks like ANYTHING to do with the original, maybe as a new story by itself would do better

I really hope this ends up being good, a great trailer for a hopefully great movie, it makes me so sad to see Jade Smith cry

Looks good. I think we got a short glimpse of the giant robot that appeared in the original. I'm hoping.

cool.

Is this coming out on the same date as Twilight? If it is.. I feel bad for it.

Oh, oops.. it's coming out in 2009 =P

Can we all Say BORING, Twilight zone,x-files movies come on are we going insane these days, the original was not bad just old. Lets see what it brings .

Klaatu Barada Nik-WHOAA! Cool!

Pass... I'll stick with the original.

I like the line, "you should let me go" and was happy to see Gort! The whole my feels...is an intersting part, is he a projection of a greater whole, a body we would recognise and relate to? is thr real whole him Gort, or the sphere? Is he a piece of a doomsday device? Good teaser!

It looks like it might be decent, but it also looks like it should've gotten a different title. I remember Klaatu having a friendly and inviting demeanor for the most part; not this fake brooding, mugging for the camera, music video bullshit. And no matter how old Keanu Reeves gets, he still sounds like a 10th grade high school burn-out every time he opens his mouth. And that alone sabotages any chance he has of convincing anyone that he is an ambassador of the most superior intelligence in the whole of the cosmos, here to spread peace and unity. They simply did not think this one through.

That last shot of Gort gave me chills. I can't wait for this.

Well for something that hasn't caught my interest, this was interesting to say the least. That shot of the deteriorating truck was pretty cool. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the original, but I have seen it. This could be cool.

I loved the original movie. And I generally HATE remakes. But this trailer seems to indicate that they are taking the story in a whole new direction and that is most definitely a good thing; simply re-shooting the original film would be a mistake. Looks pretty good! For a movie coming out almost a year and half away, it looks pretty complete.

it does come out this year, on the day of Twilight, Bloody disgusting has it wrong

Well, the original was a warning against atomic weapons. Given that Earth Dies/You Die line at the end I wonder what hot button issue Hollywood is going to pound us over the head with in this one. Hmm... Could it be global warming? No, it couldn't be!

Doesn't look anywhere near as good as the original. Looks like a big War of the Worlds rip off (and I HATE Steven Speilburg)

Jamie Bondage... Fully agree with you, all the way. I don't know why people watch remakes... don't they already know the ending? Waste of money.

sorry to say but this trailer leaves me quite cold.

never seen the original so i cant judge the remake. i like keanu reeves and jayden smith is a good young upcoming actor givin who his dad and mom are! ill prob. see this granted i aint a huge fan of remakes. ill give this a chance. (i did like the tcm remake and i am loving all of what i hear from the friday the 13th remake that comes out next year).

never seen the original but it is on my must see list the trailer looks good, but id rather see a constantine 2 lol

keanu reeves acts the same way in every movie, that's what i hate about him... And i agree, this movie looks like the War of the Worlds remake a lot! The thing about these remakes is that it's done badly. If you watch old sci-fi's you'd notice how the movie is FILLED with dialogues. It felt natural in some odd way. The remakes aren't focused on creating interesting dialogues between characters, they are only interested in showing how "koOl" today's special effects are... The original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" had soul behind every frame shot... This one has keanu reeves haha. Cheers

The original was a conformist flick represenitive of the times. Naturally the new one should be different.(even though for the most part it's far easier to conform people than ever before.) What do you want a shot for shot color redux??? Then you would bitch that it wasn't original. I will give it a shot, it's been awhile since someone tackeld sci fi that wasn't Star Wars or Star Trek action adventure type.
