I personally never seen the classic, but I look forward to seeing this when released.

All shaping up for 2012 eh?

writers and directors visit ats also. what better way to get the pulse
for a blockbuster movie!!!

well, i saw the original movie, it's quite good actually... but i don't know what to think about this new adapation...

reply to post by TheInfamousOne
No one has made any mention in who is going to play GORT
Just kidding
This just happens to be one of my favorite films and I look foward to seeing it, and to see how the new production weaves the tale of a warning to mankind and his distuctive ways.
I also hope that they don't make a patsy out of KLATU in this flick, because in the original he was sturn and serious with his message and mission for minkind.

I don't even have words for that... o_O

This is one of my favorite classic movies!



I know a lot of folks say that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was Keanu Reeve's best role, but I think he can pull it off.

I just hope they don't screw this up like they do nearly every other remake.
