I love 50’s sci fi movies (everything from DTESS to Monolith Monsters and beyond!), and the original Day the Earth Stood Still always has been my favorite movie. Until this thread I didn’t know who would play Klaatu. Reeves would be the best choice I could think of. But I still doubt I will see this new version. To me, remaking this film borders on sacrilege.
From Panic In Year Zwro to Five to This Is Not A Test to Animal Farm to Farhenheit 451 to Invasion USA, the propaganda mill has a lot of other films to TRY to remake.
