International Day The Earth Stood Still Trailer

There’s a new international trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still. I’m still not a fan of the generic death smoke which seems to be everywhere in all of the ads, and Gort continues to look like cheap CGI, but this one contains some other pretty cool new footage in addition to the fog of doom and badly rendered Gort. Best new moment in this trailer has Keanu Reeves being asked “Why have you come to our planet?” to which he ominously responds, “Your planet?” Must see.

Watch the new trailer below:

'Earth's Vital List' Asks, What Would You Save?

A love a good interactive marketing campaign, which is why I'm telling you about 20th Century Fox's "What Will You Save?" a cool viral program dedicated to The Day the Earth Stood Still, which arrives in theaters December 12th from director Scott Derrickson (Exorcism of Emily Rose). The program is called Earth's Vital List and it is a fun social networking exercise where you choose what you would hypothetically save if the earth was being demolished.... (iPhone? Girlfriend? Pet? Taco Bell?...) Click here to check it out. 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 get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of Klaatu calling himself a “friend to the Earth.”

9 New Day The Earth Stood Still Images

Fox has given us nine new images from The Day the Earth Stood Still. Yeah it’s a remake. 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 get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of Klaatu calling himself a “friend to the Earth.”

What Will You Save When The Earth Stands Still?



I took a philosophy course once where we discussed the impact of death. In an attempt to simulate dealing with that impact, the teacher led us through an exercise where we mentally had to face losing everything that was important to us. It was a grueling exercise that left me feeling emotionally drained.

Thankfully, 20th Century Fox isn’t going quite the same route with their online ad campaign for The Day the Earth Stood Still, although they are asking you something similar. The trailers alone make it look like mankind is facing the end of the Earth in the remake of the classic movie, so Fox wants to know what you think is vital enough to save. You have until 12/12/08 to list your vital items and get enough people to vote for them that they will be saved when the Earth stands still.

Make your vital list over at The Earth’s Vital List and then get your friends to vote for your items through social networks like facebook and MySpace.

I will say, I think this is a cool little social networking game, but beyond that it’s not much use. Trying to find my vital item (take a guess at what you think it is) yielded no results when I used the site’s “explore” feature. Oh well, hopefully I have enough friends through the social networks to save my little show.

12/12/08 is The Day the Earth Stood Still… or at least the day the remake comes to theaters.
