After Earth is a futuristic sci-fi tale that brings together father-son powerhouse Will and Jade Smith, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, and screenwriter Gary Whitta (Book of Eli). The film was represented during a panel at Comic-Con 2012. An After Earth viral teaser clip and official site was released in conjunction with the event.

The After Earth clip recaps events that took place a millennium prior to the film. It begins with the discovery of a crashed alien vessel in 1908 (obviously, the story takes place in an alternate reality), and reveals the history of the Polish Raige clan – whose descendants include Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and his son Kitai (Jaden Smith), in the 31st century.
