See New Photos From M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘After Earth’; New Trailer Revealed Tomorrow
M. Night Shyamalan’s stock as a director has steadily declined since his breakoutThe Sixth Sense, but with some luckAfter Earthcould be the film to turn that trend around. For one thing, it’s tough to go lower than the 6% RT score he got forThe Last Airbender. For another, the marketing materials so far look genuinely striking, with a rich, detailed universe for the leads (Will SmithandJaden Smith) to play in.
Now a second trailer is just around the corner, and to whet audience appetites Columbia Pictures has just revealed two new stills. Check them out and get the info on the trailer after the jump.
After Earthstill looks gorgeous, but I’m not sure these photos are doing such a great job of showing off the movie’s assets. The elder Smith’s pants in that photo are dreadfully unflattering — it looks like the costume department just got lazy after crafting that intricate leather top — while the younger Smith looks like he’s on theHunger Gamesset.
The new trailer tomorrow should offer a more exciting look at the film, however. There’s no word yet on what time the trailer will go up, but you’re able to look for us to post it as soon as it goes up.
