How rare is it for a Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster to not open at number one at the box office? Also, how horrible must it feel for a Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster to not only get beaten by the second week of a long running franchise about fast cars, but by a magician thriller headlined by Jesse Eisenberg?
This weekend, Will Smith and his son Jaden team up to survive an evolved and dangerous futuristic Earth in M. Night Shyamalan's big-budget 'After Earth.' Will you be seeing this sci-fi adventure?
Seventeen summers ago, Will Smith gave us the catch phrase "welcome to Earth" and then punched an alien in the face. This time he's the invading alien (kinda) and his new line "this is Earth" is much more doom and gloom than swagger. An international icon, father and potentially the next great crazy celebrity, Will Smith is finally ready to pass the baton to his son Jaden.
But it isn't a baton he's using in 'After Earth' (an original sci-fi film based on a story of Smith's own creation) but a C-40 Cutlass – a doohickey kinda like Darth Maul's lightsaber, which springs out different blades depending on what you need. Actually, we never quite know how the Cutlass in 'After Earth' works, but it is one of a number of really nifty gizmos that populates the half-baked mythos of this film.
The latest clip from 'After Earth' has been released and man, this one is looking kind of grim for Will Smith and his son Jaden. See why after the jump.
A few weeks ago, we talked about our most anticipated films of the upcoming Summer movie season. It was full of the usual suspects: 'Pacific Rim,' 'Iron Man 3,' 'Man of Steel' and all of the other movies that you're a
When your big budget science fiction movie with a summer release date just so happens to feature a significant chunk of one of Hollywood's most powerful dynasties, you don't hide it. You put it front and center. Two new international posters for the upcoming 'After Earth' represent a marketing department that is well aware of this fact: both of them are only interested in doing on thing and that's letting you know that Will Smith and Jaden Smith are the stars.
'After Earth' just debuted a new poster, which points out that you can tell that the summer movie season is right around the corner. Of late, we're getting more and more glimpses at the big films. And when you bring together M. Night Shyamalan, Will Smith and son Jaden Smith, you're talking about one of the biggest movies of the season.
The new trailer for 'After Earth' showcases the kind of things that tend to get butts into theater seats. It has a franchise-ready science fiction world. It has a surplus of action. It has menacing CGI creatures inhabiting a seemingly epic world. It has Will Smith. It d
A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige and his legendary father Cypher stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.
A new poster for next year's science fiction epic 'After Earth' has emerged and our first thought is that it looks a heckuva lot like the poster for 'Oblivion,' another sci-fi epic hitting theaters next year. The similarities don't end there -- both films are headlined by major movie stars, both are helmed by directors who really need a hit and both take place on desolated future versions of Earth. But enough of that! Check out the poster below!
