20th Century Fox has released this new international trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still, opening in conventional theaters and IMAX on December 12. Directed by Scott Derrickson, the sci-fi thriller stars Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates, Jaden Smith, Jon Hamm and Kyle Chandler.
In the contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic, Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor’s appearance, a woman (Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described “friend to the Earth.”
