-
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.
