MIB 3 has had decent legs. Also, with bombs like "Battleship and Dark Shadows", and the poor openings of this weeks "Rock of Ages" and "That's My Boy", MIB 3 looks pretty good.

Yeah, why can't Willow and Jaden do projects without Will being there all the time! It has to totally shut down his career when they are filming or whatever.

Found this from a marketing guide from Sony. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:aHmncsiUYKEJ:www.virtualpressoffice.com/JPContentAccessServlet?fileContentId%3D1000000024660%26source%3Dsd%26showId%3D1863+%22Nova+Prime%22+%22After+Earth%22&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjdnqoj0pZsQgmZyov51qdeorLXRVtyAeWT6t83IppXP32RWUcoxbtFv9QF6Y6xBmset9G0Ij-grqDY8X21ZjDYPexc60Zi4q4FBsX2dv64V3l08xlLsRAj1KG3eqL5bnFcSRvi&sig=AHIEtbTNJAECuO3QWyisOGGPI75N7NS4gA After Earth One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s flight from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary soldier Cypher Raige returns to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. While traveling to a nearby planet, an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s ship, and they crash-land on an inhospitable Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain – encountering highly evolved creatures and a ruthless alien beast, along the way – in order 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.

Here's an article with little bit of info on the movie. Turns out that Utah is a back drop for the future planet humans live on after leaving Earth. http://www.moabsunnews.com/news/article_c85dbe26-b4ad-11e1-8bd2-0019bb30f31a.html E. Bennett Walsh was Grand County’s largest employer while his production crew was in town earlier this month filming “After Earth.” To say Walsh, executive producer of the M. Knight Shymalan film starring Will and Jaden Smith, had an economic impact on Moab is an understatement.

I wonder how much money ID4 is in today's money.

So will there two-year break from Will shooting a movie. These kids are ruining Will's career. Jaden is okay as an actor for a kid. He didn't earn anything of course and seems annoying. Willow seems to not have any real music talent.

Found this picture on a guy's twitter account. He's part of the filming in Utah. Pretty blah costumes, hopefully looks better on screen. I hope this movie doesn't suck, especially after the so-so response to MIB 3.

Ultimately, it seems there never was much interest in a third Men in Black to make it a big hit. Too bad, since it did decent with critics and most audiences seem to like it for the most part.

The movie would make fine money, likely 450-550 million worldwide, but it was just so damn expensive. Plus, it's Will's first movie in a long while, so people want to be critical.

Nice little article http://www.tribecafilminstitute.org/youth/news/147937485.html

Cool little bit of info: http://www.bobgreenberger.com/index.php/2012/02/27/imagining-life-after-earth/comment-page-1/#comment-4625 After toiling in other people’s universes, I have a pretty good idea as to how worldbuilding should be done. I’ve seen it handled well and seen it done not so well. I have certainly contributed to shared worlds such as the Latchkeys universe that is now here and worked within the strictures of the DC Universe and of course, Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek. Until now, though, I haven’t had to do any universe building of my own – at nothing that has ever been completed and seen printing (those are still developing). But, to be hired to work on someone else’s world and be asked to help build it, now that’s an interesting creative challenge. Almost a year ago, Peter David contacted me and Mike Friedman about joining him on doing some work for M. Night Shyamalan’ s next movie 1000 AE. An original story, it was to star Jaden Smith, son of Will, and was set, well, 1000 years after mankind has left Earth. We signed the standard Non-Disclosure Statement and were shown the screenplay, which at the time was a draft from Gary Whitta, reworked by the director. Since then, the movie morphed into After Earth, and now stars Will and Jaden Smith. You can see it for yourself on June 7, 2013. Our assignment: figure out how things got this way. We got on the phone with some of the crew at Overbrook Productions, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s outfit, asked our questions, heard their ideas, and was pretty much freed to figure things out. Our main contact has been Caleeb Pinkett, Jada’s brother and a more enthusiastic, smart supporter you cannot ask for. We had several months to research, draft, and present and since the three of us have been working together for over 20 years, we had a comfortable rhythm. I cannot tell you how much fun it was to figure things out. It meant reading history and science and trying to come up with spins on things so they weren’t stereotypical. We had to think about space, alien lifeforms, interstellar travel, rebuilding human society over a millennia, all using the script as our only guide. And of course, being a movie, the script kept evolving and we had to keep up with it. We delivered a 273-page Bible, color coded to identify different threads and timelines. Fairly quickly, word came back that they loved it. Then they asked for some minor tweaks. Since then, after a new screenplay draft was written by Stephen Gaghan, they have come back to us to do some additional writing as new elements required explanation and background. The notion that we’ve invented some things that may turn up in the movie and related material or be the basis for others to work with was pretty cool. Plus, there are other After Earth plans in the works, but I can’t go into detail yet. Once we’re allowed to share, trust me, we will. You have no idea how exciting this has been to work on – more for spending quality time with Peter and Mike than the Hollywood glitz of it, but that part ain’t shabby.

Well thats interesting. I've read alot of interviews by Rick Baker over the years, and he doesn't blow smoke, so he hopefully he actually liked the movie

Hopefully, we'll see a new trailer soon. Maybe with the upcoming "John Carter" on March 9th?

Will needs to fire he agent, or hire someone and actually listen to their advice. He's destroying his career.

FYI: M. Night Shyamalan has posted bunch of info and pics from his twitter account https://twitter.com/#!/MNightShyamalan

English Actor Chris Geere is also in the movie https://twitter.com/#!/cwgeere "Packing for LA...So excited now! 2 weeks of pilot season then fly to Philadelphia to film my scenes for 'After Earth'.. #superhappy"

http://www.vg.no/film/artikkel.php?artid=10077279 Kristofer Hivjus ( who was in the new version of "The Thing" has been casted in the movie). He has an awesome beard.

But the tabloids said they were living separate lives?!?

That sounds pretty bad. Is Will trying to ruin his career?

Does Jaden not have the ability to smile?

They did just do some reshoots with Tommy Lee Jones and Smith, so maybe the time will get busted up.

Where did you here this?

Will's too media savy to due something like that

They should of shown more action and fx. Did anybody see the trailer for the new GI Joe trailer? It's insane!
