Well if that’s not awful, then my “awful” radar must definitely be off. First, this song was pretty bad when it was first released back in ’91 and in ’98 under a different track name, but now it’s just terrible. It sounds like Will‘s trying his best to sound like Al Green. With emphysema. Crap, crap, crap.
In related news, you guys probably heard that Will and his son, Jaden, have been selected to star in M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie, ‘After Earth’, which is a flick about the end of days. In the future. From Collider:
Production is currently underway on M. Night Shyamalan’s new sci-fi project After Earth, and the director and star Will Smith have been sharing a few photos from the set with fans eager to see how Shyamalan will ruin yet another movie. The good news is that Shyamalan got help on the script from Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli) and Stephen Gaghan (Traffic), so hopefully the story is being reigned in. Previously titled 1000 A.E., the film is set 1000 years in the future and centers on a young boy navigating “an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.” Smith stars alongside his son Jaden Smith, who toplined the recent Karate Kid remake. The premise is interesting enough and the inclusion of Gaghan gives me hope that maybe After Earth will serve as a much-needed comeback for the Signs director.
The photos don’t show anyone in costume, but we do get a look at the Smiths and Shyamalan on the gorgeous Costa Rica set. Shyamalan reveals through comments on the photos that this is the first film he’s shooting digitally and he’s using the Sony F65. Hit the jump to check out the photos. The film also stars Zoe Kravitz, Sophie Okonedo, and Isabelle Fuhrman. After Earth opens June 7th, 2013.
Let’s just hope that the movie doesn’t suck nearly as hard as Will Smith trying to revive a sleeping music career by injecting 2012 into old ass songs.
