Jaden and Will Smith to co-star in M Night movie

[Batman1980]

Jaden Smith is set to star opposite his father, Will Smith, for director M. Night Shyamalan in an untitled sci-fi adventure, Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures, announced Monday.
Set 1,000 years into the future, the project centers on a young boy who navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.

Shyamalan and Will Smith will produce with James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ken Stovitz, Smith’s partners at Overbrook Entertainment. The screenplay is by M. Night Shyamalan and Gary Whitta.

“Night is an outstanding filmmaker who has a tremendous vision for this science-fiction adventure story and we couldn't be more excited to be working again with Jaden after our experiences on The Pursuit of Happyness and The Karate Kid,” Belgrad said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have the two of them together on this project.”

Added Shyamalan, "The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project."

This one is called One Thousand A.E. at least it used to be.

Jaden and M Night = perfect match.. based on his latest movies..


W. Smith would have gone well with his earlier work when M. Night was actaully somebody I looked forward to.

Of course my expectations are so low now that it could be good, aside from Jaden being in it.

Well I don't think they would have put Will Smith in it, who is actually pretty good. I think they would have use all three crappy elements and maybe put in Nicholas Cage.

You know that sounds like the ultimate crap fest, M. Night Shimalyan, Jaden Smith and Nicholas Cage embark on a magical epic journey.. but with a dark secret twist.

From the director who brought you The Happening, we present The Sprinkling.. "you'll never feel the same about salt and pepper again".

I just can't shake "The Last Airbender" from my memory.

Name once when you thought about a team up between M. Night Shamalanadingdong and Will Smith. I've never did.

To be honest, Nic Cage is more believeable.

That actually almost sounds crappy enough to be 'good'

...It's sure to be a Titan!

(And let's see, going by alternate projects, this would be Will's "Coolest Guy in the World, with his Shoot Everything Free card...Does he look like he cares what people think? " project--
Which means after this, we should get his "Suffering urban martyr of society" story next, and....yep: "'Joe', a modern day version of the Job story", unquote. Which would be hilariously satirical if I was kidding. )

Jaden and Will worked great together in Pursuit Of Happyness but why do an M Night movie? IMO M Night has not made anything worthwhile since Signs.
