Will Smith's son Jaden Smith will get his science fiction on in Fox's upcoming remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," according to various trade reports.
The 9-year-old has been cast in the role of Jacob, the rebellious 8-year-old stepson of scientist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) who first
makes contact with the humanoid alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves).
Klaatu's arrival on Earth triggers a global upheaval as governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind his appearance. Jacob and Helen get caught up in Klaatu's mission, coming to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."
Kathy Bates and newly-crowned Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") will also star in the project, which was originally released in 1951. The new version is currently filming in Vancouver under director Scott Derrickson.
