The Hollywood remake starring Keanu Reeves has really been flying under the radar for some reason, but believe it or not 20th Century Fox is still planning to release ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ in December. Thanks for MoviesOnline.ca for the tip. Synopsis below:

A sci-fi wonder of its time, “The Day the Earth Stood Still” featured an alien man named Klaatu (Reeves) who came to Earth with a robot named Gort prophesizing its demise if its people didn’t change their belligerent ways. So, naturally, the inclination is to reinvent an old success because they’re all out of new ones. And since “War of the Worlds” raked in a mind-numbing profit of almost twice its production costs at $234 million domestic, why not go for another remake?
