Father and son are teaming up once more in a new movie!

Will Smith and Jaden once played father and son on-screen in “Pursuit of Happiness” back in 2006. This time around the two are teaming up again as survivors of a post apocalyptic planet in “After Earth,” this week’s Trailer Thursday.

The trailer opens with Will Smith’s character, Cypher Raige, teaching Jaden’s character, Kitai Raige, how to breathe I’m assuming Earth air in some sort of spaceship. A few seconds later the spaceship rips apart and Cypher is sent propelling through the air. The two crash-land on Earth leaving Cypher injured. The rest of the trailer gives voice over from Cypher coaching Kitai on how to protect himself on Earth. The trailer is giving me “The Hunger Games” splashed with “Avatar” and a dose of “I Am Legend.”

And am I the only one who notices how Will Smith loves to save the world or no? I mean does “Independence Day” and “I Am Legend” ring any bells? If the world is coming to impending doom I’m going to find out where Will Smith is ASAP! Until then check out the trailer for “After Earth,” in theaters June 7, 2013, below.
