When the news originally broke that Shyamalan and Smith would be collaborating, the project was called "One Thousand AE." 

Set 1,000 years into the future, the movie centers on a boy who wanders an abandoned and often frightening earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes. 

Smith, Shyamalan, James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ken Stovitz will all produce the film. Additionally, Gerry Whitta helped Shyamalan write the screenplay for this up and coming thriller. 

This will be the second film in which the father-son duo has appeared; Jaden made his big screen debut in 2006's "The Pursuit of Happyness."
