The Day the Earth Stood Still
Directed By: Scott Derrickson
Opening: Dec 12, 2008
About The Movie: Who better to play a cold, stoic alien in human form than Keanu Reeves? Someone saw the genius in that, as Reeves takes on the role of Klaatu, the alien messenger sent to Earth in the upcoming remake of 1951’s The Day the Earth Stood Still. While the original was a cautionary tale on atomic warfare, here the story is updated with more timely perils, like the erosion of nature, and seems particularly charged by contemporary events. Scott Derrickson directs this allegorical sci-fi thriller, with Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, and Jaden Smith among the big names in the cast.
