Box Office Mojo recently updated a release date listing for 2008 for a Fox produced "The Day the Earth Stood Still" remake, and FirstShowing.net acquired confirmation from Fox that it is set to happen and will be released on May 9th, 2008, one week after Iron Man.
The original 1951 film is a sci-fi classic about an alien and a robot that land on Earth to try and save the world from being destroyed. No director or additional information has yet been announced, but is expected soon. Could we see a big time director helming this classic sci-fi remake – we’ll see soon enough.
