Jaden Smith has become the latest name to join the cast of sci-fi remake The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Will Smith's son will play a "rebellious 8-year-old" called Jacob, who is the stepson of Jennifer Connelly's scientist character Helen Benson, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jaden Smith joins Connelly, Keanu Reeves, Kathy Bates and John Hamm on the list of confirmed stars.

The Scott Derickson-directed movie tells the story of an alien that visits Earth in peace but is treated with hostility by the US army.
