While I was happy to see that the new Gort is at least inspired by the original, I didn't see anything in the trailer that was amazingly bad. In the brief scene with Reeves, I thought he was fine. The stadium collapse, I took to be part of the alien demonstration of power.

After reviewing the trailer, I now realize there are no "explosions." We see a large truck and a stadium disintegrating, not exploding.

I'm thinking the casting of John Cleese is either a very brave and brilliant choice or a very boneheaded decision. He's either got to be right on, or it's a glaring mistake. I also noticed over at IMDB that Kathy Bate's character has no name yet.

Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.--Irving Townsend
