“The Day The Earth Stood Still” - Gort Concept Art

Concept artist Lorin Wood working on “The Day The Earth Stood Still” remake, and posted a concept rendering of Gort from the new film.

Remake director Scott Derrickson recently referenced having considered multiple approaches to Gort, including ideas which deviated significantly from the “classic robot” design of Robert Wise’s 1951 film.

Such deviation was evident in our early script review of the remake, in which Gort was not even called “Gort” & had a design which shifted between Totem-like & quadrupedal.
