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...)

This is why you should not educate your children at a Scientology school.

weird pathos in the 3rd verse close-up of Jaden pulling Fresh Prince faces while rapping "I'll probly never grow up"

... also rhyming it with "I'd rather swallow throw-up"

odd future puppy pack cuddle them all

general cypher raige

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: BEYOND THUNDERDOME

gotta admit, that trailer looked kinda cool

the part about earth evolving to kill humans also suggests this movie might be The Happening: Beyond Thunderdome

maybe it's the unofficial part of 'the happening' universe, like a shymalan 'prometheus'

Will Smith gets baked, eaten by plant.

did they redub his voice? he sounds weird.

i don't want to watch this.

i'll watch this.
