I still have very serious doubts about the alien subplot. Estranged father and son crash land and must prevail on a dangerous planet. OK, lots of drama and conflict already there.
It's the mysterious human hating powerful alien that "tags along". I guess it got stuck in the same meteor shower or something. Cuz in today's movies it's not enough to deliver on the promise of your premise. You must confuse and distract your audience with contrived CG antags.
Meh. My gut says this story doesn't need that angle on top of everything else. That part feels like a studio note gone awry to me.

LATEST NEWS CineVita Films is producing a short based on my new feature!
Looks like it could be decent, more or less. Hopefully better than his most recent films, at least.
I'll admit, I actually still like M. Night Shyamalan... maybe his past films have been horrible, but he made some great early films and I hope he gets out of his slump soon.
Umm... what's up with the weird accents? I'd guess it's meant to be British but it sounds so off, I can't say for sure. Either way, it sound really, really awful. That's both actors. It actually took me out of the trailer.
Tell me I'm not the only one hearing this.
In any case, I'm really interested in seeing how this one's received. Shyamalan's had an amazingly bizarre career. It seems like every film he's made has been exponentially worse than the one before it with the last couple reaching near Tommy Wiseau proportions of bad... and yet it all started with The Sixth Sense. Now, they can't even put his name in the trailers. Truly unique in the annals of film history.
This one seems a weird amalgam of elements. I honestly don't know what to make of it at this point. Seriously though. Those accents are absolutely horrid.

I noticed it too. I don't think it's meant to be British, but it's pretty odd. I guess it's because they're 1000 years into the future.
Didn't bother me that much, but it is kinda weird.
Will Smith bringing in one of his kids is a major turn off for me. I think it'll be like this for a lot of others. He's trying to create a dynasty, or something, and no one cares. I'm already tired of his daughter.
