Movie Quote(s):
  • [from trailer] Polygraph Operator: I'm going to ask you a series of control questions. Are you currently in a seated position? Klaatu: Yes. Polygraph Operator: Are you human? Klaatu: My body is. Polygraph Operator: Do you feel pain? Klaatu: My Body does. Polygraph Operator: Are you aware of an impending attack on the planet earth? Klaatu: You should let me go.
  • Regina Jackson: What is your purpose in coming here? Klaatu: There is a gathering of world leaders not far from here; I will explain my purpose to them. Regina Jackson: I'm afraid thats not possible. Perhaps you should explain yourself to me instead. Klaatu: Do you speak for the entire human race? Regina Jackson: I speak for the President of the United States. Now, please; tell me why have you come to our planet. Klaatu: *Your* planet. Regina Jackson: Yes; this is our planet. Klaatu: No, it is not.
  • Klaatu: The decision is made.
  • Klaatu: What gate did you use to enter this place? Polygraph Operator: The east loading dock. Klaatu: How do I get there? Polygraph Operator: 100 yards left from the back of this building. Klaatu: Is there a security code? Polygraph Operator: 4-4-Bravo-3-0. Klaatu: What size is that suit? Polygraph Operator: 42-long. Klaatu: Take it off.
  • Klaatu: [to Helen] Your professor is right. At the precipice we change.
Movie Trivia:
  • The design of Gort is similar to his original portrayal in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), but Gort is now a biological form rather than mechanical, as Scott Derrickson considered some extraterrestrial races would develop advanced biological forces instead of technology.
  • Director Scott Derrickson was an ardent admirer of sci-film director Robert Wise, and had wanted to remake Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) since 1993.
  • Jennifer Connelly was Scott Derrickson's first choice for the role of Helen Benson.
  • According to Keanu Reeves, in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Klaatu was an alien WITH a human body, while in this film Klaatu is an alien IN a human body.
  • Keanu Reeves was producer Erwin Stoff's first and only choice for the role of Klaatu.
