"After Earth" Stars, Will & Jaden Smith, Coming To Miami

MIAMI (CBSMiami) --The stars of the highly anticipated movie After Earth are coming to South Florida but not before the film's teen star, Jaden Smith, makes headlines for reportedly asking his famous parents to be emancipated for this 15th birthday.

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith reportedly plan to allow their son Jaden to become an emancipated minor because the teen wants to buy his own place.

Jaden has already starred in movies, launched a clothing line, and has a romantic relationship with reality star Kylie Jenner.

Jaden and his famous father have been traveling recently promoting the premiere of their new sci-fi movie After Earth.

Those travels will bring them to Miami on Thursday May 16th where they'll attend a special After Earth event at the Miami Science Museum and Planetarium.

After Earth is about the crash landing of teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) who become stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape.

With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

After Earth opens nationwide on Friday, May 31, 2012.
