I decided to kick off the week with a couple of trailers of a film we will see in class: The Day the Earth Stood Still, a film where a mysterious figure who gives a warning that if humanity does not cease its violent activities, the Earth will be destroyed.
Below is the trailer for the original movie:
Having seen the original movie, I will say that this trailer is the better of the two I displayed. You have the typical '50s "big words" that tell what the movie is about to intrigue the audience but it is less "campy" than The Thing from Another World Was. It makes you go "Wow, what's that big robot thing? What will it do to that poor woman and the world?"
Below is the trailer for the recent movie starring Keanu "Whoa" Reeves:
Sad to say, Mr. Reeves is not as convincing in the recent trailer as the original actor for Klaatu was. You have improved special effects but there is not real mystery that the original trailer depicted. All you get is a nonchalant Reeves, black "insects" eating everything in sight and Jennifer Connelly looking confused. A person can see the trailer and think "Where's the Watchmen trailer?"
