The 1950s spawned many notable sci-fi classics with several of them, notably "The Time Machine" and "War of the Worlds", having been remade. Others however are still in the works like "When Worlds Collide", yet arguably the most famous one has remain hereto untouched - until now.

1951's "The Day the Earth Stood Still" tells of a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to warn its leaders not to take their conflicts into space, or they will face lethal consequences. A demonstration of his resolve is that all electrical power on Earth is suspended for half an hour.

Whilst the giant robot Gort, the silver alien spaceship, and even the saying "Klaatu barada nikto" have become cemented in popular culture, the film still stands as one of the more acclaimed and provocative pics of the era with underlying themes of religious symbolism, paranoia and an underlying message of piece combined with a dark and cynical take on human society.

Now, Boxoffice Mojo reports that 20th Century Fox has staked out May 9th of next year for release of a remake of the project. One posting is hardly conclusive even though BOM is very reliable, but the report was then confirmed by Fox to FirstShowing.net.

From the sounds of it though this is purely concept stage for now as no-one is attached, but one wonders can the remake resonate in modern times as much as the original? It'll be tough.

Voilàààà une idée NOUVELLE qu'elle est BONNE!

What the f ???

Keanu Reeves to Star in Remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

Keanu Reeves will star in Twentieth Century Fox’s remake of the 1951 sci-fi movie “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” according to Variety. The film will be directed by Scott Derrickson (“The Exorcism of Emily Rose”), written by David Scarpa(“The Last Castle”), and produced by Erwin Stoff (“A Scanner Darkly”, “The Matrix”).

From Variety:

“Reeves committed over the weekend to play Klaatu, a humanoid alien who arrives on Earth accompanied by an indestructible, heavily armed robot and a warning to world leaders that their continued aggression will lead to annihilation by species watching from afar.” While the original film was intended as a response to the beginning of the Cold War after WWII, the updated version will most likely be about the current situation and will use “advances in visual effects.”

This will mark the thirteenth Stoff produced film that Reeves has headlined, and Stoff has managed Reeves since Reeves was sixteen. Not a bad working relationship at all.

This is exactly the kind of movie Keanu Reeves needs to do. He was perfect in “The Matrix,” and a role that requires him to be solemn and otherworldly will definitely cover up those little talent blemishes.

The film is officially in its pre-production phase, and should be ready to start filming later this year or early in '08.
