Klaatu: I'm worried about Gort. I'm afraid of what he might do if anything should happen to me.
Helen: Gort? But he's a robot. Without you, what could he do?
Klaatu: There's no limit to what he could do. He could destroy the Earth.

Made a new TDtESS picture to replace my crappy old one.

Why does Hollywood remake movies that were already fine in the first place? Money!!! $$$$$$

One thing for sure, though. Michael Rennie is WAY HOTTER than Neo. Uh, er, I mean Keanu Reeves.

I don't remember him seeming so evil. :/ Keanu's version seems to not like humans. Or something. Or am I confusing this with another movie? It's been a while.

Yeah. I agree about Keanu Dracula. I was horrified when I heard he was playing the main role, but... man, after seeing a few trailers, it looks pretty epic. If I didn't have class tomorrow, I'd see the midnight showing.

But maybe I'm just a shameless fangirl. ):

I love the black and white look. Your style really fits these two characters.

:iconsithdragon42:
wow, this is fantastic :) I JUST watched the original movie, and you really captured the mood of it... Gort's pose is so still and upright, and Klaatu's expression is very complex :)
:iconspearfox:
Oh, I love this. I really like Klaatu's expression.

I just got around to watching The Day the Earth Stood Still today, and I loved it! Truly a classic sci-fi film. I just might end up seeing the remake, depending on other people's responses to it.

Also, I totally agree that Michael is MUCH more attractive than Keanu!

I'm not as old as my taste in movies might imply.
:icongrimwell:
I think the old movie was perfect just because it reflected the times. The only way that the new one could be better, to me, is if Keanu acknowleged Gort as his master like in the original short story.

P.S. I think you captured the look of the original movie well. Very nice textures.
:iconprofessorfandango:
Thaaaaaat's Hollywood.
I'll level with you, I've never seen the original, but I can still pretty much guarantee that the new one will be a disaster.
I kind of imagine them changing Gort's name because it sounds too goofy for these slick Hollywood productions but we'll have to wait and see.
