Wait, what?
The trailer for that actually looks pretty cool. Will Smith is doing Morgan Freeman for some reason.

That movie looks like it sucks a whole lot more than it actually will. I heard Jaden was actually pretty decent in the Karate Kid remake. The weak link here is M. Night.

At the very least take solace that he didn't write this film. Gary Whitta (a Giantbomb favorite, and wrote the forth episode of the Walking Dead TellTale game) is one of the writers.

Night is a good visual director, what gets him into trouble is when he puts his mitts all over the scripts.

Edit..aw crap nevermind..thanks wikipedia
"Principal photography for After Earth began in February 2012. The script was originally written by Gary Whitta, rewritten by Shyamalan and finally polished by Stephen Gaghan in late 2011."

It's going to suck.

Whitta is responsible for The Book of Eli, so I wouldn't have had much hope even if Shyamalan hadn't done a rewrite.

I can see where WoK has the criticism for being "slow and plodding". That's a big drop in sales from The Motion Picture. It's also weird how the ebb goes. The "even Trek movies are the better/best" is evident after WoK, with Voyage Home being the best out of the original series, but the box office shrinking as series progressed. I thought The Undiscovered Country did better.

Wait, there's no Generations there.

Smith is producing though and he's enough of a powerhouse to keep M Night in check. At least I would hope he has enough pull.

A good way to tell if Smith was able to keep M. Night in check is to ask one simple question: does M. Night act in the film?

Well, wait, that's not a good question, because the answer is always no. Is M. Night in the movie?

That's a great teaser poster and even if it wasn't, even if it didn't have Jude Law, even if it wasn't directed by Soderbergh I'd still see it because after Dragon Tattoo I'd pay to watch Rooney Mara stand in line at the DMV.

Is that anybody's signature? I thought it was Soderbergh's.

I like how all the actors and producers have their names there so matter-of-fact-ly like a list in a real form.
