Oh dear!!! They had to pick Tom Cruise didn't they...YAWN!!! Why not go the whole hog and put Brad Pitt, Will Smith, and Ben Affleck in it as well.
A huge title like this doesn't need attention grabbing A list names. It should be able to stand on its own.
For me it's part ruined already, still I haven't watched the trailer yet, so y' never know, I could, no I HOPE I'm wrong!!!!


Yep..........................that went well!

Tom Cruise is actually a producer for the movie, so he chose himself. Cruise is producing the movie with Paula Wagner, whom he also produced the Mission Impossible films with. I first remember hearing about Tom Cruise wanting to do a remake of this film nearly three years ago. I think Tom Cruise is the driving force behind the movie and he is the one who brought Spielberg on.

I wouldn't worry to much. Apparently the script was written by David Koepp, the same man who wrote the screenplay for the first Spider-Man movie, both Jurassic Park movies, Panic Room, and Mission: Impossible.

WotW has been done. Repeatedly. Why does nobody ever talk about remaking The Day The Earth Stood Still?

We could have Arnold "The Mummy" Vosloo as Gort. . .

A remake of the Day the Earth stood still would as gooder if not better choice for a remake than WotWs, I have to agree.
Another I would like to see is " When worlds collide". The acting in the original is quite awful now, and most of the not very special effects are laughable. But with a few tweeks in the main story line I could see it making a great movie in the right hands.



Yep..........................that went well!

He wrote the first Jurassic Park and then he wrote The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2!
