M. Night Shyamalan Takes Us to ‘One Thousand A.E.’
It’s incredibly hard to report on a film you know nothing about – other than the director constantly makes (sh*tty) movies that are right up our ally. So, we’ll give you this small piece of news because A: it’s super lame and B: it’s funny and C: why the heck not? M. Night Shyamalan’s next project will be the super secretive sci-fi One Thousand A. E. that is being developed as a vehicle for Jaden Smith. Yeah, Will Smith’s Karate Kid. The only good news is that the screenplay wasn’t written by Shyamalan, but by Gary Whitta, who wrote The Book of Eli and Undying. With movies like Super 8 in production, who cares about this? “Not I,” said the fly.
“I wore these shoes once.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
