The Day the Earth Stood Still Remake Coming

February 22, 2007 Comments

Fox has confirmed that the '50s sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, the story of an alien (Klaatu) and his robot (Gort) trying to convince the Earth to live peacefully before it's destroyed, is next in the long plague of remakes headed to theaters. Few other details have been released, but I think it's safe to say Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan will definitely play the alien and robot, respectively.
