Man, they are going to ruin a classic.

I am interested to see how they are going to rehash the end of world war 2 anti-atomic-bomb message though

Maybe the Klaatu character will come to earth to ask the middle east to share its oil more readily with the united states ??

I have read theyre keeping the original Gort design, but it may be not wholly mechanical wtf ??

No doubt itll be slightly organic or fluid and 100% CGI :(

Quixoticish

I was watching The Life Aquatic the other day and absolutely adore the stop motion animation in that; its come on in leaps and bounds and looks great but is still obviously stop motion; one wonders why they couldnt use similar techniques for the remake rather than resort to CGI.

Edit : Hmm. For some reason I thought I was talking about a remake of "The Clash Of The Titans". I think I must have mixed up my forums or something.

I suspect a lot of people who loved the original will be disappointed totally by this.

Oh youve seen it. How was it ?

It should be about warning humans not to destroy themselves (petty religiously-motivated wars), rather than Keanu being the bad alien/guy.
At least thats the impression I got from the trailer, since the original was a cold war metaphor.

Gort! Klaatu barada nikto! :)

From the trailer it looks like a typical run of the mill sci-fi from hollywood IMO nothing can beat the build up in ID4 to the attack..... this ppfff whatever.... be worth downloading and watching in the homecinema this will be as good as WOTW
