I can not only not believe they remade this, but I did not know it was even in production. Hopefully it slides out of the theaters as quietly and people rent the original. Yes, Michael Rennie is also a tad wooden, but I had Gort nightmares for years.......and it had the awesome Bernard Hermann score.

I have no desire to see the remake. I'm not against remakes, but I am horrified (by what I've read and seen) at the idea of this one. The first movie is so understated and quietly beautiful. I'm just...I don't want to see it.

And then I realized Jon Hamm also stars. So, I probably will see it. Someday. Just not in theaters.
