With Shyamalan now free to concentrate on the visual and storytelling aspect of his film, maybe After Earth will convince us in a way that The Last Airbender most certainly didn’t. This time, he’s handed over the screenwriting duties to Stephen Gaghan ( Traffic, Syriana) and former videogame journalist Gary Whitta.
The promising thing about After Earth is that, for once, Shyamalan hasn’t written it. With Will Smith’s character injured (he’s called General Cypher Raige, unfortunately), Jaden’s 13-year-old Kitai heads off to find a rescue beacon. The Smiths play a father and son who crash land on Earth at some point in the future, by which time it’s become a dangerous place devoid of human life. It’s just possible, though, that After Earth, a sci-fi movie starring Will and Jaden Smith, will be a return to form. UK release date: 1st March 2013 After Earthįollowing the critical reception of his previous films – Lady In The Water, The Happening and The Last Airbender – there may be some who’d question whether M Night Shyamalan has a decent movie left in him. Given just how well District 9 blended action and intelligence, there’s every reason to be excited about Elysium.
