First TV Spot for M. Night Shyamalan’s AFTER EARTH Starring Will & Jaden Smith
Sony has released the first TV spot M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming sci-fi “After Earth” starring Will & Jaden Smith. Shyamalan has been on a roll lately with The Last Airbender, The Happening, & Lady in the Water so we’ll see if he can continue his winning streak with this one. The film centers on a father and son who crash-land on a planet that was evacuated by humans 1,000 years earlier. Zoe Kravitz, Sophie Okonedo, and Isabelle Fuhrman co-star.
A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.
Dare I say this actually looks good? Yes, I drink sci-fi koolaid daily but I’ve really enjoyed all the footage I’ve seen so far. I hope Shyamalan can totally redeem himself from his most recent films because this one has a lot of potential. After Earth hits theaters June 7, 2013.
