Previously titled One Thousand A.E., the return from renowned director M. Night Shyamalan behind the camera on After Earth has a lot of potential going for it.

Originally attached to lead the film himself, Will Smith is now looking to offer the lead role in the Hurricane Katrina drama, The American Can, to the two-time Academy Award-winning actor, Denzel Washington, Vulture report.

Last month, Dave Roper put forward a case for the defence of MICHAEL BAY: a director very often reviled but rarely exonerated. Whatever my views on the Armageddon director’s trademark Bayhem, there is another filmmaker who I often find myself supporting despite an overwhelming number of detractors. The man in question?

Most films, however awful they may be, always contain at least one nugget of cinematic richness. Below is our list of seven features (some of which are plain disappointments, while others are just plain bad) that all share a commonality in regards to the inclusion of one scene where that ticket purchase or time invested [...]
Further news today, from THR and others, on the story which rose its head way back in October and which placed Jaden Smith in front of M.

The guys over at Sofas and Sectionals got in contact with us today to give us a heads up on their ‘Directors Budgets and Rate of Return’ post.

Talented and versatile Taiwanese director Ang Lee has been chatting with USA Today in regards to his plans for shooting the long-in-development adaptation of best-selling novel The Life of Pi. He’s currently in pre-production on the film and intends to shoot it using 3D, although he acknowledges it will be a costly process. “I know [...]
Leaping fresh faced from another critical hammering M. Night Shyamalan continues undaunted to his next project, which we’ve heard will be a sci-fi project called One Thousand A.E. And there’s even better news – the film is being set up with Will Smith’s production company with Jaden Smith lined up for a leading role. Smith’s [...]

The first of these three fantasy tales, Devil, opens here and in the US on Friday. We correctly predicted that Stamm’s next feature would be one [...]
College Humor are a rather clever outfit creating very funny and well thought out videos. Their latest one focuses around M. Night Shyamalan – how he was once a great director and how all of his ideas of late seem to be pretty darn poor! The video charts his rise and fall with hilarious results [...]

While the poor critical reaction to M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender – earning the film a solid 7% on Rotten Tomatoes – might indicate that Aang and co. have bent their last on the big screen, the $250 million it has so far banked at the box office suggest we shouldn’t write off a [...]
Current Hollywood whipping boy (and deservedly so) M. Night Shyamalan has been talking to MTV about the series of fantasy films he’s producing called the Night Chronicles (a title which further suggests this guy has a seriously bloated ego – he’s no Alfred Hitchcock…). He talks mostly about the first film under this banner (called [...]
Despite a fairly toxic critical reaction to Shyamalan’s recent films there is something intriguing about Devil, a film ‘from the mind’ of M. Night. The premise is simple, some people are trapped in an lift and one of them is (or possessed by) the Devil, and the trailer we’ve seen gives an indication of the [...]
