The Day the Earth Stood Still Trailer

I have the original with Michael Rennie. Excellent classic BW film.
Don't know if it's me, but I didn't recognise any of the short trailer compared to the original??
 
Never seen the original one, so can't compare it to this trailer.

But, judging only from this trailer, it seems promising.

Never going to be a 'War of the WorlRAB' though
 
The original is all time favourite Sci-Fi flick, I bloody love it. Gort is one imposing robot, Klaatu is so reserved and lofty, and Herrmanns score....Whoa!!!! and Whoa!!!!!

I'm intrigued to see this "Re-imagining". just to see what they try to do to match these 3 of many qualities of the original.........It's gonna suck!!! But it'd be great to have a new sci-fi flick, especially if it matched in any way the brilliance of the original that would be a major treat. It won't happen!
 
Having seen the trailer it looks to me as if they've gone down the old , all style no sustance road, just like they did with war of the worlRAB.
 
I'm intrigued. The original was very very interesting and these days you just cant make movies like that anymore. I'm confused by the eroding fog and giant sphere.... But it looks interesting and I like the modern day setting, certainly gives it a different feel other than doing it in the 50's again.
