TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the 1951 film of the same name written by Edmund H. North, which is itself based on a short story called Farewell To The Master written by Harry Bates.
• At the end of the film Jennifer Connely, Keanu Reeves and Jaden Smith's characters take cover underneath a bridge, this happens to be the same bridge that the protagonists from Cloverfield take cover from in the finale of that movie as well.
• The classic line "Klaatu barada nikto" which was said in the original 1951 version of The Day The Earth Stood Still was not written into the remake. However at the insistence of Keanu Reeves the line was added to the film, however instead of being said by Helen to revive Klaatu, it is said by Klatuu to stop Gort from attacking the humans.
