One Thousand A.E.
 

It has been three long years since Will Smith, arguably one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, was last on the big screen. In 2008 we saw two sides of the thesp: the blockbuster star in “Hancock” and the awards season contender in “Seven Pounds.” Though they were successful, neither film quite lived up to expectations.

But for his next couple projects, Will Smith is determined to bring home the bacon. Next year he’ll be back with his mega-franchise in tow for “Men In Black III” and he won’t be keeping fans waiting as 2013 will once again see him at a theater near you.

Though word has been quiet on the project, things are ramping up for M. Night Shyamalan‘s “One Thousand A.E.” which in case you forgot, will pair the star with his son, Jaden Smith.

Details are being kept tight, but the story will follow a young boy and his estranged father who crash land on a planet and have to explore to it. Last year, all Jaden would reveal is “it’s set in the future and it’s about a journey.”

The movie will now hit theaters on June 7, 2013, arriving one week before Zack Snyder‘s “Man of Steel.”

Filming is slated to begin in early 2012.

M. Night Shyamalan's "After Earth"
 

Polarizing director M. Night Shyamalan recently joined Twitter and revealed a few things about his upcoming collaboration with Will Smith. Back in April, it was announced Shyamalan would direct both Will and his son Jaden Smith in a movie tentatively titled One Thousand A.E. about what happens when a young boy and his father’s spaceship crash lands on Earth one thousand years after humans abandoned it.

Shyamalan recently tweeted that he’s nine weeks away from shooting and that the film is now titled After Earth.

Since the director of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Avatar: The Last Airbender joined Twitter, several tweets have been about his upcoming film:

His co-writer, Gary Whitta, has also been tweeting about it a bit:

Nine weeks from now would put production around February 1 and it’s taken four months for Shyamalan to storyboard the film himself. He’s also been inspired by the paintings of Andrew Wyeth, so looking at his work might give an idea of what to expect from After Earth.

I love Shyamalan's movies even the ones people hate so i'm excited for this.

that sounds a very good movie, m night last few movies i have not liked, but the story in this one sounds like my sort of thing. look forward to it.

I'm sorry but I despise Will Smith I will be avoiding this.

Really? I actually like his acting. Any specific reason you dont like him or just a general aversion to him?

I'm not wild about Will Smith either. I think it's that strutting peacock attitude of his that gets on my nerves.

Precisely-it makes me retch.
