Los Angeles:
Indian origin Hollywood director M. Night Shyamalan has signed up father-son duo, Will Smith and Jaden Smith for his upcoming sci-fi film.
The 40-year-old filmmaker who has hits like Sixth Sense and Signs to his credit, has signed the two for the film which is set 1,000 years in the future, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The director, who is known for his supernatural plots, said it was his dream to work with the Smiths.
"The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project," said Shyamalan.
Jaden, 12, who scored a hit with his film debut, Karate Kid, will play a boy who must find his way around an abandoned planet after his spaceship has crashed, with Will, 42, playing his estranged father.
"He grew up in this industry so it's not foreign to him. He understands that this is a family business. He didn't have the shock and the radical life change that child actors usually have coming into the business," added Shyamalan.
The father and son had earlier paired together in 2006's drama The Pursuit of Happyness.
