Its a remake of the old classic with the same title! 
Slight change of story plot though, IMHO its for the better.
Klaatu (the humanoid alien), with Gort, the giant, Iron-Man-like robot
1951 version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_E...%281951_film%29
2008 version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_E...%282008_film%29
1951 Trailer:
The synopsis--
- The classic: a humanoid alien comes to Earth to warn its leaders not to take their conflicts into space, or they will face devastating consequences.
- This year: the film updates the Cold War themes of man against man, to the millennial concerns of man against nature.
News: Keanu Reeves is Klaatu. Yes, NEO IS NOW AN ALIEN!

The first one was borne out of the cold war and nuclear d�tente. Klaatu came and was saying cease and desist with your violence. If you can't do it yourselves we're going to do it. That was the film of that day... The version I was just working on, instead of being man against man, it's more about man against nature. My Klaatu says that if the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the earth survives. I'm a friend to the earth.
