After Earth (aka Will Smith/Jaden Smith/M. Night Shyamalan film SET IN THE YEAR 3000 Anticipation Thread)

add in the worst elements of 'i am legend'

lol I don't even remember Adrien Brody being in "The Village", I was too busy wishing death upon Bryce Dallas Howard

you should see the scene in lady in the water where Bryce tells M Night that his work will inspire a great leader but he won't be alive to see it. serious drama.

So the twist will be...

cannot stop lolling

someone just pointed out to me how Philly-centric Will and M are. Can't believe I missed that.

and

(did you really want to talk about will and jaden?)

Why did they name Willow after her father and Jaden after his mother? The eventual Scientology bodyswap also going to have tranny elements?

Jaden really freaks me out. All of his dad's stone-faced petulance without any of the charm.

Armstrong Just Don't Understand

lol

what....NOOO

lol

Five bucks says M. Night uses stock footage from "Batteries Not Included..."

sorry just have to repost...never fails to make me lol

never seen the Smith kid and have no plans to. Haven't seen an M Night since Unbreakable.

(in case you forgot about Morbs' street cred)

forgot about drm

no, old man who picks time-wasting carefully

xp

They should film hours and hours of footage of Will and Jaden now, then Will solo against a blue screen, and then in 30 years Jaden in front of blue screen, and then make the first half of the movie Will and Jaden c. now and then the second half current Will interacting with future grown Jaden.

I thought that kind of delayed filming was the secret how they were going to end LOST. I was wrong.

“In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.”

Totally read rescue bacon there.

oh god

earth surviving until 3000 is like the most optimistic doomsday scenario ever

Cypher Raige!

"a young boy navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth" kinda makes me laugh more than anything else

Fucking WOW.

It's sometimes scary, generally quite pleasant. Lots of peace and quiet.

"okay Will, now get this... you play a CYPHER, but you are also full of RAGE"

Nova Prime is almost as lol as Cypher Raige

found out that will smith is a scientologist. or is he??

the twist involves xenu

The twist is gonna be that they were actually on Nova Prime all along

there was heavy speculation/implications in 2008-2010 but when that died down i wasn't sure if that meant he wasn't really becoming a clam after all or it just wasn't an exciting story anymore (xpost)

yeah my friend mentioned it after tomkat blow-up. I read the story of xenu out loud to them and I think I have the sniffles now (hope I don't die of pneumonia etc.)

Will Smith is dogged by gay rumors and rumors of his marriage falling apart. Factor in his Cruise-like Hollywood ambition, and a renewed dedication to secrecy, and it all certainly makes him a prime candidate for Scientology by proxy.

this is me after hearing about this movie for the first time today

i wish good things on will smith (i don't know why, i just like him), but this sounds awful

General Cypher Raige

i don't know that i've ever heard a dumber name, beats duke nukem

Chevy Chase as Emmett Fitz-Hume
Dan Aykroyd as Austin Millbarge

those are great names, especially "austin millbarge". wish will smith were playing general austin millbarge in this, tbh.

will & jada founded some schools which feature scientology teachings (!), but claims to be a christian. FWIW.

If the movie is anywhere near as awkward as this video we are in for a treat.

for a little too long, I thought that video was related to this movie aside from just the presence of Jaden

THE

COOLEST

take that, lupe fiasco!

btw, full song is up:

(kind of want to start a "which are you anticipating more" thread...)

I'll put up with a lot of junk in return for some herzog knock-off shots.

does this film feature 5min long shot of Will Smith hypnotizing an iguana y/n

the audience sat in polite fear

+1

mzs is usually wrong imo

dude loves to heap elaborate praise on seriously mediocre shit

he is certainly a fan of hyperbole

seitz is a really good & thoughtful writer.

Wow, this is SO BAD. Not even worth watching on an airplane. I gave up shortly after the ship crashed. Like, nothing that happened had any meaning whatsoever. There are no stakes. I could not possibly care what happens to anybody in it.

So the twist will be...
