The last few years we’ve been left bewildered at what was ‘HAPPENING‘ to the man who brought us modern masterpieces THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE. Fingers crossed M. Night Shyamalan’s back on top form with big-budget sci-fi thriller AFTER EARTH.
The futuristic film follows teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith), who find themselves stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after catastrophic events forced mankind to escape to pastures new. With his strict father critically injured, young Kitai must venture on a dangerous mission to signal for help, while battling survival from the evolved animal species that now rule the planet. However, none are more deadly then the unstoppable alien creature that escaped during their crash.
AFTER EARTH co-stars Isabelle Fuhrman, Kristofer Hivju, Gabriel Caste, Zoë Kravitz, Sophie Okonedo and hits US cinemas 31st May and UK 7th June.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
