Something that I think that might work very powerfully if done right in this remake is the shutting down of ALL our technology.. could make for a very powerful scene. I mean.. remember in the 1950s it being shut down but compare that today where most EVERYTHING is done with technology.

Then there'd be the mass hysteria of "OH MY ZOMBIE RAPTOR JEEBUS! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" And then I'd say, "Oh look! A three-headed monkey!" and run off like a ninny.
Could be great if the makers of the remake make heavy nods to the original in the promotional stuff they're doing. Perhaps the film will be over 2 hours and 20 minutes. This could be an epic high sci-fi film if the filmmakers know what they're doing.

All those books, graphic novels, and original screenplays out there and all they can do is remake after remake. Why do this film? The original is good enough. Who needs an updated version? This just has BOMB written all over it with the attention deficit disordered audiences of today.

Bloody hell, make some actual films with stories we haven't seen before, instead of this constant recycling. We would no longer need landfills if we recycled garbage like Hollywood recycles their film scripts.



When you have to shoot...shoot. Don't talk!

Excellent!




Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Re: This Can't Be True! Reeves in The Day The Earth Stood Still Remake!


I was thinking of who to cast for Klaatu in a remake, and for some reason Damian Lewis who played Major Winters in Band of Brothers comes into my head.

The thing that does worry me is John Cleese. He is a fine actor, but will anyone be able to take him seriously as Dr. Barnhardt?
