Will Smith In 'Tonight He Comes' For Mostow

[Thursday, February 17th, 2005]
Will Smith and director Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3)are teaming up to bring the superhero drama Tonight He Comes, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Tonight He Comes is a script that has fallen on many execs' "best unproduced scripts" lists and has attracted many A-listers. But its dark, adult tone made it difficult to set up.

The story tells the tale of a depressed, bored superhero who drinks, smokes and has one-night stands. He develops a newfound purpose in life when he is drawn to a married woman. Vincent Ngo wrote the original draft.

Tonight He Comes is part of a new wave of projects that deal with superheroes but are not based on existing comic book-based superhero characters.
