The Day the Earth Stood Still

This is a classic film. Very good. Keanu Reeves is in talks. Thoughts? Opinions?

No reason for remaking it. This was the greatest sci/fi flick for its time. Today it would pale in comparison of others to come after the original

I must say......am so hyped up about this one, really cant wait!

Good movie to remake; as it's been 50+ years, it's time for a remake.

Bad news is, Keanu, dude can't act worth a shit, unless he's playing some sort of loser and/or stoner, i.e. Bill & Ted's..., I love you to death.

I love this movie. To re do would be a bad thing. Since they though, getting Reeves is a mistake, they should look for someone else.

I don't think "redos" are intrinsically a bad thing, as the original is, well, original and not affected. My problem with redos, is when they do them too early, let a movie age 30, 40, 50+ years before it's revamped.

No leave sci fi classics alone dammit. 😠

What is there to lose by remaking an old film? Like Robtard said, the original remains as good as it always was no matter how the newer version turns out.

...and as "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" showed us, a less-than-exciting redo will make 'you' appreciate the original all that more.

I can't believe they are remaking a classic like this one. Has Hollywood run out of good ideas?

Yes they have.

hmm a Redo of a classic, Im kinda glad, This way i can sit around and watch another WANNABE great hollywood Remake.

Why, i can see the Tag lines now.

"The Day the Earth Stood Still, Now in 3D, with Giant Lazers, and Sharks, And Bad Acting at its Best!"

"The Day the Earth Stood Still... Again!, More Earth, More Still, More Budget, More Story, More Hype, More Shitty Remakes!"

😆

ok, on a Serious note, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a Classic, Its being Remade, Try as hard as they might, its not going to be as good as the Classic, So why not let them remake it, they have to much money anyway, why not let them waste it.

Next Week on" Movie Remake Madness", 2001: A Space Odyssey.

This is true.

I also agree that remakes aint a bad thing and even though I like Keanu, I dont see him pulling off the character.

Not to mention both films still did'nt get the setting right, Its set in England not America.

I said "good movie to remake", the qualifier being "good" (as I see the film). Unless of course, you think "every single old film" is good?

Comprehension is fundamental.

That was a cheesy film. So a remake may work.
