"Gort Lives" Lets You Submit Your Own Gort Artwork

Fox has officially launched "Gort Lives," as part of its Day The Earth Stood Still website. The new site feature allows you to submit your own interpretation of what Gort should look like. You can also check out and rate the submissions of others. To those unfamiliar, Gort is the robot sent to destroy earth, and his appearance/design in the original 1951 film was rather iconic.

While this is foremost a publicity project, aspiring Gort designers should know that the highest rated submissions will apparently be displayed in sleect IMAX theaters and also featured on the eventual DVD. So if you've ever thought that the original Gort was a bit too bland for your tastes (blasphemy!), it's time to dig out the ol' digital canvas.
