Hollywood rehashing yet another classic.

Thoughts?

I loved the old one and I think Im going to feel the same about this one as well. Cant wait to see it in fact. Didnt realize the trailer was already out. Thanks for posting.

Looks VERRRRRY different from the original film (which is one of my all time favorite SF films! ) I am not sure what to think of this one so far. Special effects look pretty cool. Could be good *shruggs* have to see it when it comes out :P

It feels... wrong.

It could be very interesting to see what they did to this one.

Robert Wise's classic, and Bernard Herrmann's amazing score, are a big act to follow.

Not again....

How often has this now been revised?

Three times? Four times?

Looks like an interesting take on the story, but as always it's hard to tell from a trailer, and I'm not sure about Keanu. Might rent the DVD...

Imo it looked awful. I, like many of u love the original, but some things should just be left alone.

I follow the mainstream in loving the original. But the trailer had no elements of the original in it as far as I can tell. Looks more like a revised spielbergian war of the worlds... Great special effects, though, and I'm sure Gort will rock, but the story? Dunno...

I thought it was pretty stupid how the truck keeps driving along with its back end disintigrating, I guess whatever force is destroying it also holds up the back end that no longer has wheels.
