From the March '85 issue of Box Office:

Twentieth Century Fox has pushed up the release of it's science-fantasy
adventure, "Cocoon" from the original Christmas '85 date to a summer
release.  It is directed by Ron Howard (Splash), produced by Richard
Zanuck, starring Maureen Stapleton, Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and
Steve Guttenberg.  With effects by ILM.

Cocoon is the story of what happens when a group of aliens return to
Earth to retrieve their friends, who had been left behind in cocoons a
thousand years ago when the aliens' city had sunk into the ocean.  When
they arrive, the aliens rent a Florida estate and fill its swimming
pool with a liquid that keeps the cocoons alive.  Next door to the
estate there's a retirement community.  And when several of the
residents sneak over to take a dip in the pool, they find themselves
rejuvenated and feeling like 20-year-olds.
