I seems that Keanu Reeves is starring in the re-make of the 1951 classic. I will come out this year probably December.

I think Hollywood is runny out of ideas like pop and rap artists and are just trying to re-do or/and update classic films. Hopefully this one will be better than the Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds one which to my opinion is cack in very high order.

I'm going to have to admit that I have never seen The Day the Earth Stood Still. I am ashamed...

I am not, however, ashamed that I have also never seen the Tom Cruise remake of War of the Worlds.

I'm racking my memory here for a movie remake that I consider superior to the original, and I'm not coming up with anything...

OK, I really do like Jeff Wayne's 1978 musical version of War of the Worlds, but it was an album, not a film.

Have you seen the original 50s film. It's pretty grim.

As for the Day That The Earth Stood Still original, then I am sorry that you haven't seen it. I am sure you could try to rent it on DVD. Okay, it's black and white and it doesn't ahve any CGI but it damm good and it kinda almost make you think, whether with all this technology, we are as civilised as we think we are.

I will try to rent The Day the Earth Stood Still. I don't have a problem with black and white movies, or a lack of special effects -a good story and good acting are what count.

I haven't seen the 50s version of War of the Worlds either! I have seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers, for what that's worth.

Both the black and white version of The Body Snatchers and the 70s one with Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould and Leonard Nimroy are pretty good ones.

And yes, the original The Day That The Earth Stood Still does have a brilliant story and pretty good acting as well, though I wouldn't mess around witht he android though.

Its a very good film, restrained, but even by the standards of the day it was regarded as restrained.

Itrs BW but it doesnt need colour.

there are just a few special effects but they work well and are used well, its not just for show. its not a cheapo film.

(and I wonder how much it cost to hire all those millitary vehicles?)

The aliens ethics and motives are sufficiently..well, alien.

its interesting to see how this film has influenced the UFO fraternity....
