Smith, Shyamalan filming in Philadelphia suburbs
Two of Philadelphia’s most well known movie-makers are currently filming in the city’s suburbs.
According to the Delaware County Times, Philadelphia native Will Smith and Chester County resident M. Night Shyamalan are in the process of filming “After Earth,” a post apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, in Chester Township’s Sun Center Studios.
Smith’s son, Jaden, is also reported to be in the film, which is set to be released in June 2013. It’s being estimated that the film’s production has brought 450 new jobs to the area.
Smith’s role in the film gives extra needed credibility boost as Shyamalan’s had a tough run winning over audiences. Was I the only one that liked Devil?!
