Jennifer Connelly's Earth respect

4 months ago 28th Jul 13:30

Jennifer Connelly has promised that her new movie 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' retains the "essence" of the original 1951 film.

The actress - who plays Dr. Helen Benson in the film alongside Keanu Reeves as alien Klaatu - insists the cast and crew were determined to honour the original movie.

She said: "We all loved the original film. It's really a wonderful classic, and our film was made with the utmost respect for that.

"This film has the essence of the original but has more spectacle and more visual effects - so it should be exciting!"

Producer Erwin Stoff added: "The original film was unbelievable eye candy for its time. It was big, kick-a** entertainment. Our movie is the same thing, just updated."

'The Day The Earth Stood Still' is released worldwide in December.
