Plot Details for Smith and Shyamalan’s AFTER EARTH


“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.”The SDCC panel will include the film’s screenwriter Gary Whitta and cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, as well as the team behind the tie-in comic book After Earth: Innocence, artist Beni Lobel and writers Robert Greenberger and Michael Friedman. Peter David, author of the After Earth prequel novel, will also be there. Hopefully, this might be his first good movie in… 12 years, first after the 2000’s Unbreakable (at the time, I didn’t pay attention to who directed it, so when I found out it came as a nice surprise for me, and I actually enlisted it among my favourites). After Earth will be released on June 7th, 2013 and it will also star Orphan’s Isabelle Fuhrman. Stay tuned!
