From worstpreviews, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's son, Jaden Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness), has landed a part in Fox's sci-fi thriller "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Smith will play the rebellious Jacob, the 8-year-old stepson of scientist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) who first makes contact with the humanoid alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves). Kathy Bates and Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm also star.
Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) is directing the contemporary reinvention of the 1951 Fox classic, which is filming in Vancouver. David Scarpa (The Last Castle) penned the screenplay about Klaatu's arrival on Earth that triggers a global upheaval as governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind his appearance.
Smith's Jacob and stepmother Helen get caught up in Klaatu's mission, coming to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."

I have very low expectations for this movie. I refer you to Jordan's hilarious comments on the original here.
