During Fox’s encore presentation of the Fringe pilot last night, a new 7-minuted extended footage from The Day The Earth Stood Still was shown.
You can watch it here below.
The footage shown in this newly released clip is the same scenes that were premiered this past July at the San Diego Comic-Con (see previous coverage).
It begins with Jennifer Connelly‘s character Dr. Helen Benson being called for duty during the military evacuation. We see her stepson Jacob played by Jaden Smith, at the beginning, as well as at the very end talking to the humanoid alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves). We see the landing of one of Klaatu’s spherical spaceships and the subsequent destruction of parts of the Earth. There’s also a lengthy part, previously seen in a clip called “The Interrogation,” that shows Klaatu being interrogated and the consequences of it.
The Day The Earth Stood Still hits theaters December 12, 2008.
