The twist is made of people!

The twist is that there is no twist

The twist is that the magic fish dies and Jaden becomes the moon.
Holy shit he aged fast. But that might be explained by the fact that he's just a Will Smith clone.
Also, I don't know anything about this movie but that costume design has me intrigued.

Nailed it. Whitta is re-writing the script as we speak.

The twist is that there never actually was an Earth.
As long as it doesn't end up being present-Earth, should be interesting.

That wouldn't be much of a twist since it's right there in the synopsis
Jaden's costume on display at the Sony booth at Comic-Con:
And some more AE news:

Seems like the adds of him as a tiny kid with Jackie Chan were just taken down.

I don't particularly want to hear Shyamalan talk, so I don't mind.

As I said on the panel the fact that it's Earth wouldn't be much of a twist since we've already said that it is

Is there a GAF reference? You should start doing this in all of your films, and let NO ONE know. Not even GAF until we discover it ourselves.

I've just watched the panel video. I have to say that Gary's overconfident radio voice is unnerving and distinctly un-British.

Just read the linked article above, sounds interesting. But coming from Shyamalan, you never know =/

Is a 1000 years enough for earth to have evolved to the point where it's built mechanisms to ward off humans? That doesn't make any sense to me.

It was not Earth the whole time!
Yeah, at some point it was Erf.

Living in America for 16 years has really done odd things to my accent.
Just watched both videos, looks interesting. Off-putting take on the narration with the traveling through time via Facebook, I feel that movies get really "dated" when they use, for lack of a better term, pop-culture references. Of course, I'm sure that won't be in the movie.
When will the trailer hit?

Will Smith crash lands an alien ship?? I guess Gary Whitta should've replaced Jaden smith with Jeff Goldblum then.

I might find it hard to buy Jeff Goldblum as Will Smith's son.

I think it's great, same with Bill Bryson. Guess I like american-british hybrid accents.

You seem like you're always in a hurry.
Either that or you're about to announce the TOP TEN AT TEN HERE ON WRAZ 101.3.

Jeff Goldblum would've made the perfect Will Smith son.

I really don't like the suits. Why are there so many bubble indent things?
I've never really followed Comicon or watched these panels, but did a 12 year old ask you a question at that panel?
Zathura?

It's all kind of a blur but yes there were a couple of kids who came up to the mic during the Q&A.
Well I speak fast anyway and I was very aware that we had limited time at the panel so probably rushed all the points I was trying to get across.

*raises eyebrow*
He made two great films (The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable) and one good, albeit flawed film (Signs).
I think his biggest problem thus far has been the fact that he is an incompetent writer. His direction for the most part seems fine (although he does seem to have a knack for squeezing out the shittiest of performances from otherwise good actors), so I'm interested in seeing what he can do if the pencil is ripped from his paws and he's forced behind the camera.
