Scott Derrickson to Direct Earth Remake?
It’s a rumour and only a rumor but Hollywood North Report have posted that the director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Scott Derrickson, is set to direct the remake of the 1951 classic Sci-Fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The original film told the story of an alien and his robot that come to earth to convince mankind to become peaceful when they join the space faring community of other planets or face destruction.
The Day the Earth Stood Still is scheduled to shoot until next November in Vancouver, Canada, making it one of the longest theatrical shoots ever to film in the region, the site reported.
