Gort is the big discussion point in The Day the Earth Stood Still remake. Will he be like the original? Will he look like a dog robot thing? Will it look like the Cylon inspired concept art that was featured a while ago on this site? Will it be a balloon like the Prisoner's Rover? (I made the last one up). The filmakers had mentioned something called Totem which would be a dog kind of thing, but then the director Scott Derrickson said they were going with the original design.
However, I put it to you gentle reader that Gort may well be the original, a dog shaped thing and the Galactus cloud that we see in the trailer. Stick with me on this one. It's late and I'm probably talking crap.
Okay, the trailer is just below for you to check these things out. In the original movie Gort was going to destroy the planet if he wasn't given the words "Klaatu Barada Nikto". Well, the trailer shows a cloud ripping up sport stadiums and the like. Now either this is a cloud that doesn't like sport or could it be a shape shifting Gort taking out the planet in order to save his master, Theodore Logan Esq? At the very end of the trailer we see a glimpse of an original looking Gort blasting fire from his visor, so that's the original look. As for the dog like alien Totem robot thing, well I'm not too sure but round about 1:11 in the trailer when the Haz Mat suited scientists are in the misty woods you see something big moving from the middle of the screen to the right. It has sticky out bits and looks nasty. It's only there for a second. Have a look.
So three separate things that could all be one and the same. Just a theory at this point, but maybe, just maybe there could be something in it. What do you think?
Discuss in the forum.
