Their source suggests that the reshoots are “rather extensive” and will go on for a full week. It is being speculated that these reshoots are being done for the recently announced IMAX release of the film.

Now, I wasn’t too impressed with the trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still. Frankly, I like the original movie and hate to see it go into remake mode; but it has and so here are the two posters issued for Comic Con this weekend. I like the one on the right the best. Which one do you like or don’t like the best?

 

The Day the Earth Still movie trailer is out.  Although it looks great and all, I keep remembering the original, which I dearly love.  It is hard to out do Robert Wise with Michael Rennie, Patrica Neal and Sam Jaffe.
