M. Night Shyamalan's Next Movie Has Its Title
Back in April, it was revealed that (shall we say, slightly uneven) director M. Night Shyamalan's next film would be a sci-fi epic starring Will Smith and his son Jaden. At the time, he was referring to the project as 'One Thousand A.E.' though it seemed readily apparent that this was merely a working title. Well now, via the pillar of irrefutable truth that is Twitter, Shyamalan has announced that his new film's official title is 'After Earth.' The script, written by Shyamalan and Gary Whitta ('The Book of Eli'), will center on a father and son who crash land on Earth one thousand years after the last humans have abandoned it. M. Night also tweeted that he is nine weeks away from the start of shooting. The film is set, at least for the time being, to be released June 7, 2013.
Is it always a good idea to take tweets from celebrity Twitter accounts as gospel? Of course not, but in this case it seems pretty legit. That being said, 'After Earth' is sort of a bland, unimaginative title; only slightly more bland and unimaginative than 'One Thousand A.E.' The title however, is among the least crucial elements to a successful film. I'm far less concerned with what the new M. Night Shyamalan film is called as I am concerned that it's directed by M. Night Shyamalan. To say he's on a bit of losing streak of late is a massive understatement. Both 'The Happening' and 'The Last Airbender' were so inexplicably bad that it's hard to maintain optimism for this project. Then again, anyone can bounce back from slump and we can't be sure of 'After Earth's quality until it lands in theaters. Seriously though, 'After Earth?'
What do you guys think? Still willing to give M. Night a chance?

Not only can this guy not accept that he is waaaay past his prime, but he's also forgotten that someone already used the title; anybody remember Titan A.E.?

When a movie steals its title from the movie that sank Don Bluth's career, you know it's gonna suck.

The Happening had moments for fans of those old low budget but high concept British sci-fi films it seemed to be copying. So I had not yet to cringe yet when the scene with the intersection and each group came from a doomed area and converged in a panic! Ok it unravelled from there much like his career arc but I've not lost hope he can return to form.

I haven't liked an M. Night movie since Unbreakable.

He comes up with some really, very good ideas. and slowly whittles them down to total absurdity.
The Happening, started out chilling.but the plants thing lost me (Markey mark didn't help ether) At least it was half of a goodish movie, and I didn't think Devil sucked so hard

It's not that bad of title, at least it says something about the movie. I'm done with M. Night, after Last Airbender, I have no hope for anything this man does anymore.

Thank god that he isn't doing that... Phew...

I don't think it's being debated that Shyamalan's been on a shit streak lately so I'm pretty sure "apologist" doesn't apply. We would just like to see him get back into the groove of things, because his early movies were really good. I think that's reasonable enough. But we're trying to have a reasonable discussion about a new movie, so if you could please get over your hyperbolic internet rage for a second, that'd be nice.
