Cool Teaser Trailer - The Day The Earth Stood Still

Oh yes!...

Have been hearing rumors of a remake of the classic, Robert Wise directed, The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) for years, but always figured it to just be wishful thinking. Then this trailer came out, and I realized somebody had finally pulled it off.

I am a little curious though. Since the original played with our early cold war paranoia, I wonder if they will try to make some sort of similar political statement with this one? Terrorist paranoia? Economic frailty? Or how about just some good old fashioned thrills and chills. Whatever; as long as the screenplay is hitting the right marks, this should be a good one.
