Jaden Smith: 'After Earth' Press Conference

Jaden Smith hangs with dad Will during a press conference for their new film, After Earth, held at the Ritz Carlton Tokyo on Thursday afternoon (May 2) in Tokyo, Japan.

In After Earth, it’s one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth and Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai.

When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.

Will and Jaden premiered the flick just the day before. After Earth debuts in theaters on May 31st.
