If you will remember, Fox backed out of last year’s Con, but have come back this year to show us footage from both Max Payne and The Day the Earth Stood Still. For our coverage, we begin with the panel for The Day the Earth Stood Still.

It appears that a scooper from the land of Weissbier and Schnitzel sent in word that Joel Silver laid down some details on the radio in Berlin about The Wachowskis long in development film Plastic Man.

Why do I still get the feeling that Keanu Reeves is going to make a lackluster Klaatu in the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still?
