I’m not sure if the new teaser poster for the remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is meant to address any rumors that destructive device Gort wouldn’t appear in the update, but that image certainly seems pretty Gortlike.

As with the 1951 cautionary classic, the new version involves an alien envoy who warns Earth’s denizens to cut the crap or face the wrath, with Keanu Reeves playing (?) an emotionless extraterrestrial instructing mankind to chill, brah. THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE director Scott Derrickson tries to get audiences to love the planet in between impressive FX sequences. Here’s a clean look at the original teaser poster as well.
