EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly Remember The Day the Earth Stood Still

The Day the Earth Stood Still is 20th Century Fox's contemporary reinvention of the 1951 sci-fi classic. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson (Jaden Smith) get caught up in his mission, and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth." We recently caught up with the film's stars for a discussion about the making of this new classic.

The Italian Job (2003) vs The Italian Job (1969)
3:10 to Yuma (2007) vs 3:10 to Yuma (1957)

If that last post is true, this may very well be what sets of the destruction of the world in 2012. Aliens will hate this so much, they'll obliterate us.

The biggest joke out of all this .....

Twentieth Century Fox makes history by transmitting the first motion picture in to deep space, making THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL the world's first galactic motion picture release. The first deliberate deep space transmission of this highly anticipated science fiction thriller will begin this Friday, December 12, 2008, to coincide with the film's opening day on Planet Earth. If any civilizations are currently orbiting Alpha Centauri, they will be able to receive and view the film approximately four years from now in the year 2012.

Do we really need another reinvention of a 1950s sci-fi classic to join the likes of Steven Spielberg's disappointing "War of the Worlds?
