His once amazing career consisted of THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS and dare I say THE VILLAGE (well, I bloody liked it), but director M. Night Shyamalan then went from THE LADY IN THE WATER to the man in deep shit. Since then, we’ve had the (embarrassing) THE HAPPENING and bizarrely bad THE LAST AIRBENDER. Many believe the upcoming AFTER EARTH is last chance at savaging the once promising output.
The futuristic sci-fi thriller stars Will and Jaden Smith as a father and son who awake to find they’ve crash landed on a decimated Earth years after civilisation left the dying planet. There situation worsens when the alien creature cargo they we’re carrying, has escaped and is becoming a little hungry.
AFTER EARTH co-stars Isabelle Fuhrman, Kristofer Hivju, Gabriel Caste, Zoë Kravitz, Sophie Okonedo and hits US cinemas 31st May and UK 7th June. Check out this second clip (find the first via this link).

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.
