Will Smith and Jaden Smith have signed on to co-star in M. Night Shyamalan’s untitled science fiction adventure film with Columbia Pictures, the studio announced.

The film will take place 1,000-years in the future and follow a young boy (Jaden) as he searches the abandoned planet Earth, looking for his estranged father (Will) after their ship crashes.

Shyamalan wrote the script with Gary Whitta (“Book of Eli”) which was previously announced as being named “One Thousand A.E.,” though details on the project have been kept tight.

“The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project,” Shyamalan said in a statement.

Shymalan and Will Smith will also produce the film with James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ken Stovitz, who are Smith’s partners at Overbrook Entertainment.

Jaden, 12, made his screen debut with his father Will Smith in 2006’s “The Pursuit of Happyness.” He has since starred in the blockbuster remake of “The Karate Kid,” which took in over $350 million worldwide. Jaden also starred opposite Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly in “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”
