After a string of highly successful big budget science fiction films throughout the 1960s, Twentieth Century Fox considered remaking this film in the early 1970s in response to the energy crisis. The project was not green lighted and, by the end of that decade, accepted an offer from Wade Williams to buy the film and all rights. This film is now part of the "Wade Williams Collection."
"M47" (Dr. Leslie Gaskell's designation in the movie for the so-called "asteroid") is in real life, one of the "missing" Messier Objects whose correct position was not definitively identified until 1959 (two years after the release of 'Kronos'). It is an open star cluster in the constellation of Puppis.
The communication console and screen from Klaatu's saucer featured in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) can be seen directly in the background of Labcentral's "Astro Physics" Laboratory where Vera Hunter and Dr. Hubbell Eliot have their confrontation. A map of the world has been placed behind the glass.
Before production began, the budget was cut. This required a second draft of the script which eliminated some character development and some expensive special effects sequences.
'Spyros Skouros', then president of 20th Century Fox, liked the concept and reportedly urged the production of this film.
"Dr. Leslie Gaskell: Do you think you'll be able to respect a husband that probably pulled the scientific boner of all time?"
"Dr. Hubbell Eliot: We have half of the equation; we can turn matter into energy. But up there, they have the second half; they can turn energy into matter."
