First Plot Synopsis For M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘After Earth’

by Shawn Madden

M. Night Shyamalan has recently wrapped on his post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie ‘After Earth’ starring Will Smith and son Jaden Smith. The film was written by Gary Whitta (‘Book Of Eli’) and we now have our first plot summary.

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.

Did this spark your interest? Going to Comic-Con? Well there will be a panel for ‘After Earth’ you can attend on Saturday, July 14th. . “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.”

The surprise twist is that even after all the movies he has made that we hated…we are all probably going to watch this. Let’s hope for the best this time around. I’ll be attending the panel at SDCC and will definitely let you guys know how it looks.

‘After Earth’ hits theaters June 7, 2013.

by Shane O'Hare

This was an April Fools joke… but it still would have made a better movie than the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender film!

Today WB Studios was finally able to talk about the rumor that has been buzzing for months. They will be releasing a live action feature length film based in the Pokemon universe.

We have always been impressed by M. Night’s ability to weave a coherent story line and leave the audience shocked by his classic twist endings.

Also during the press conference the leading cast had been announced. The lead role of Ash Ketchum will be played by Joe Jonas. The voice actor who will be playing the role of Ash’s Pikachu, Pikachu, was hand picked by M. Night himself. Vin Diesel will take up the role of the electric mouse as Joe Jonas’ sidekick. When asked M. Night said

I have always been in love with Vin Diesels voice. After hearing his role as the Iron Giant I feel that he could easily voice act in ANY children’s movie. His soothing child like tone will be perfect for the small Pikachu.

Set to play the role of Brock, the first gym leader Ash encounters in the story, will be Zachary Quinto. M. Night said his emotional and power role as Spock was his decision to cast Quinto has the emotional Brock.
