The Day The Earth Stood Still Re-Make In Trouble
Moviehole Reports:
“It would appear things aren’t going so well for the film, being as Uncapie was so distraught over the script he threw it against the wall while reading it. You can check out the whole story here. Here are some highlights: A robot is in the film but its nothing like “Gort.” It’s called the “Totem” and apparently walks around on all fours, shoots a death-ray and stands upright like a totem pole when its finished. (LAME) The immortal words, “Klaatu Barada Nicto” are never uttered. Ever”
I…I…just don’t know what to say. This is very terrible news. I am a huge fan of the original film. I absolutley love the film and when they said that they were going to make a re-make of the film I was thrilled not upset. And thought it was one of those films that would translate well into modern times. The thing that makes me most mad about this is that they are taking every thing I love about the original and tearing it to shreds. This movie deserves a worthwhile re-make but these changes just make me wonder WHY? I know re-makes are not usually good but they had a chance with this one and I guess they are just going to let it pass by.- Movie Rat Mike
Why remake it, Mike?
Why not come up with something…what’s the word? ORIGINAL!
