Will Smith To Team Up With Son In Shyamalan Sci-Fi

We’ve all known for a while that M. Night Shyamalan and Jaden Smith were teaming up for a sci-fi that Jaden’s father, The Fresh Prince, would produce through his production company Overbrook. Now it appears Will has decided to not only produce but star alongside his son in the film. Deadline is reporting that Sony has signed the elder Smith for the still untitled sci-fi flick. The script for the project was penned by Shyamalan and Gary Whitta and, of course, Shyamalan will direct. Here’s a quick synopsis:

“The story takes place far in the future where a young boy has to navigate an abandoned planet on a space ship that has crashed. On board is his estranged father. ”

This will be the second time the Smith duo has starred in a film together, with the first being  The Pursuit of Happyness. Will jumping on board is probably the absolute best thing that could have happened for this picture. The man knows how to open a movie and without him there was no guarantee this one would have been a success at the box office. The Karate Kid  remake did exceptionally well, but Jaden's still a little young to be carrying a sci-fi like this on his own. And, well, we all know about the troubles Shyamalan's been having at the box office.  

I can only hope that we'll get some kind of music video for this one that'll feature the entire Smith clan. Who doesn't miss the days of Big Willy Style? You know you wanna get jiggy with it one more time...
