"We are thrilled about beaming this film into space. This will be our first full length movie transmission. And what could be more relevant to send into Deep Space than a movie about the Earth's acceptance of visitors from outer space," commented Jim Lewis, Managing Director, Deep Space Communications Network

Fox To Beam Day The Earth
Stood Still Into Space
12-10-8


LOS ANGELES Business Wire) -- Twentieth Century Fox makes history by transmitting the first motion picture in to deep space, making THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL the world's first galactic motion picture release. The first deliberate deep space transmission of this highly anticipated science fiction thriller will begin this Friday, December 12, 2008, to coincide with the film's opening day on Planet Earth. If any civilizations are currently orbiting Alpha Centauri, they will be able to receive and view the film approximately four years from now in the year 2012.

In a time when global movie launches are now commonplace, Fox is raising the bar by spearheading, with Deep Space Communications Network located at Cape Canaveral, the ultimate in "wide release" platforms. As millions of Earthbound movie fans get their first look at THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, the film will be zipping through space at 186,000 miles per second to a heretofore untapped possible consumer base orbiting the three star system, Alpha Centauri.

Industry watchers and film historians will note that due to the distance between our solar system and the Alpha Centauri system, it will take over eight years (accounting for a roundtrip communication) to receive any Alpha Centauri reviews. The transmission is not a single beam aimed at just the Alpha Centauri system, but can be received by any advanced technologically capable civilization along the way to Alpha Centauri, and beyond.

Prior to its arrival at Alpha Centauri, the transmission of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL can be intercepted and viewed at various points in our own solar system (Distance from Earth ­ at the speed of light ­ and transmission time, as follows):

Moon: 0.000000038, 1.1991888 seconds Sun: 0.000016, 8.41536 minutes Mercury: 0.0000095, 4.99662 minutes Venus: 0.00000476, 2.5035696 minutes Mars: 0.0000076, 3.997296 minutes Jupiter: 0.0000666, 35.028936 minutes Saturn: 0.000135, 1.18341 hours Uranus: 0.000285, 2.49831 hours Neptune: 0.00046, 4.03236 hours Pluto: 0.0006183, 5.4200178 hours

And what could be more relevant to send into Deep Space than a movie about the Earth's acceptance of visitors from outer space," commented Jim Lewis, Managing Director, Deep Space Communications Network

I'm not sure about this because the movie looks really bad. Do we really want Keanu to be our ambassador to the stars?

Would beaming our signal to a highly advanced race be akin to comparing morris code to digital dolby audio and picture? The aliens will probably get the transmission and wonder how in the hell to convert it from antiquated digital to the moonbeam 3.0 software...

I was thinking that but what are we going to do when we find the movie translated into a hundred different languages and pirated all over the galaxy? Send up the MPAA or what ever there letters are.

I had a thought that if this signal reaches its destination in 2012 if the ET's would think it was real and come to our rescue and that is why they come here in the first place. Just a silly thought but I thought it was kind of funny.

don't they remember the 80's movie "The Explorers" where the aliens were afraid of us because they saw old alien monster movies like plan 9 and they thought we were warmongers that would shoot them down at first sight?

That's gay...


If they're gonna send anything, it needs to be the original.


I haven't even approved of the remake yet at all.
