Jaden Smith is set to star opposite his father, Will Smith, for director M. Night Shyamalan in an untitled sci-fi adventure, it was announced today by Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures. Shyamalan and Will Smith will produce with James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ken Stovitz, Smith’s partners at Overbrook Entertainment. The screenplay is by M. Night Shyamalan and Gary Whitta.

Written by Shyamalan AND Gary Whitta? The PC Gamer guy who wrote Book of Eli? This just keeps getting better and better!

Set 1,000 years into the future, a young boy navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.

So it’s like A Kid in Battlefield Earth?

Shyamalan added, “The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project.”

I have a dream, Shyamalan. You give up movie making and become a nun.
