What's left behind the scenes
- The role of Dr. Helen Benson was written specifically for Jennifer Connelly.
- Scott Derrickson is a fan of director Robert Wise. He had dreamed of remaking 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' since 1993.
- Keanu Reeves was the only actor producer Erwin Stoff wanted to see in the role of Klaatu.
- Dr. Benhard's name is Basil. This is a reference to the famous character played by John Cleese – hotel manager Basil Fawlty from the television series 'Fawlty Towers'.
- There was room for improvisation on the set with Derrickson. For example, the scene where the alien guest was seated on a chair and forced to undergo a lie detector test was conceived by Keanu Reeves. He also came up with the questions and answers for the test.
- In the scene where Klaatu finishes writing formulas on the board for the scientist, Keanu Reeves writes with his right hand. In reality, he is left-handed. This was likely done to more closely resemble the original 1951 film, where Klaatu also completed a formula on the board using his right hand.
- Jaden Smith's character (Jacob) plays the game "World of Warcraft" on a laptop.
- In the scene where Klaatu meets his fellow countryman at a McDonald's restaurant, Keanu Reeves speaks in one of the dialects of the Chinese language, namely Putonghua – the official language of the People's Republic of China.
- "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto" – these are the words that Bruce Campbell's character had to utter in the film "Army of Darkness" so that the dead would not pursue him.
- In the scene where Helen is already at home and Jacob is watching the news, a speech by Vladimir Putin can be seen on television.
- When Klaatu is wounded and the robot begins to destroy everything, Keanu Reeves' character says: "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto," to stop the robot. The same words had to be spoken in the original film to stop or start the robot.
- Scott Derrickson is a fan of director Robert Wise. He had dreamed of directing a remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" since 1993.
