The Day the Earth Stood Still international trailer
20th Century Fox has released this new international trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still which gives us a nice long look at the robot Gort. I do think this is the first true visual of Gort. What is Gort you ask? Well he is a big bad robot ready to crush the earth. A more precise well thought out blurb can be found below.
Gort is a fictional humanoid robot in the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still and its 2008 remake. The giant metal robot accompanies Klaatu, a visitor to Earth from a distant planet, aboard a flying saucer. He does not speak, but uses a beam weapon projected from beneath a visor to vaporize weapons and obstacles. Klaatu described him as being part of an interstellar police force. He claims that the people of the universe constructed numerous robots like Gort and gave them irrevocable powers to respond to violent actions in order to “preserve the peace.” He further claims that “There’s no limit to what [Gort] could do. He could destroy the Earth
The Day the Earth Stood Still is scheduled to hit theaters on December 12th 2008.
