The Day The Earth Stood Still - a remake of the 1951 classic. I can't wait to see this (comes out in Australia on Boxing Day, but 12th December USA and elsewhere). And Keanu's in it too, which makes it a bonus  . I was a fan of the original, which I highly recommend to all those who have not seen it. Only this one looks like it's been upgraded with modern special effects and what not. But I'm still penciling it into my calendar. It's really the only movie I've wanted to see all year.  Anyone else interested? |

I'm interested too. I'm actually a fan of Keanu.. Don't think he's that bad of an actor like some do. And EVEN IF HE IS, playing a stoic alien is perfect for him.  |

The third member of Daft Punk is in the original.

Haven't seen the original, but has to be better than the re-make!
Watchable, but should/could have been so much better. 6/10

I grew up in Washington, DC, so I was always fascinated how aliens happen to select Washington, DC as their contact point with humans. I was fascinated as a CHILD -- I don't blame them for wanting to blow it up for the past 8 years. |

I'll have to add the original to my Christmas list!
Damn Hollywood cretins. We all know if the book is set in the UK, then the film will be set in the US (eg War of the Worlds). But I didn't think they'd relocate from DC to NY for a re-hash!
