According to Deadline, it looks like Will Smith has found another project to be involved in with his son, and it sounds suitably epic - a large scale science-fiction film to be directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The plot centers around a young boy, along with his estranged father, who have to navigate an abandoned, devastated Earth 1000 years in the future after crashing their spaceship.
The script will be written by Shyamalan and co-writer Gary Whitta (THE BOOK OF ELI). Looks like Shyamalan may be getting back into his own material again. To quote M. Night, "The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project."
I quite liked THE BOOK OF ELI, and if M. Night makes something of epic scale without losing his focus as he's done in recent films, this might be a nice bit of sci-fi apocalypse storytelling.
Nordling, out.
