Shyamalan to Direct One Thousand AE

Jaden Smith has his followup film after the success and surprisingly well received Karate Kid remake, and now he will star in One Thousand AE. Little is known about the plot of the film
Obsessed with Film reports:
[M.Night Shyamalan] is scheduled to direct the original sci-fi project ‘One Thousand AE‘ as a vehicle for Will Smith’s son, Jaden Smith, recently seen in the ‘Karate Kid’ remake which was the recipient of a good amount of positive reviews.
Will Smith was then rumoured to be quoted saying “Hell naw” and then offered to help the Shamhammer direct the film with him. Smith’s Production Company Overbook is making the movie afterall.
Perhaps with a little bit of perspective the pitfalls of Shyamalan’s directorial style will return to its original path of respectable glory. I mean at some point this guy just seemed to drop the ball as his films got worse and worse. He went from “That guy who directed Sixth Sense” to “This is that guy who directed Sixth Sense?”
Who knows. Maybe he can turn it around. Smith has become somewhat of a marketing pro himself, and I cant imagine that letting his son star in something doomed from the start would be part of his plan for wee Jaden.
Is the script his as well, or is he just directing. all I read was original.
Will Smith co-directing huh?
Shamhammer did not write this.
can M.Night just go away for a while?
I thought Devil was pretty good…
I don’t really understand how this guy continues to get work, especially when the films he’s involved in are ones he hasn’t even written himself. While I’m familiar with the gross of his recent outings, I can’t imagine any of them could be all that spectacular, especially when it seems he is almost universally hated by critics and audience goers alike.
meant to say not familiar
I guess he’s just workin, getting paychecks and not making his next Masterpiece (of s#*t)with writing, cameo’n, directing, producing every film now-a-days.
Hey! it’s workin’ for Kevin Smith :) (not really)
