Radewart Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) This movie has no luck! link: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14599 Just weeks after coming onboard Sony's Tonight, He Comes, director Gabriele Muccino has gone, reports Variety. The film is still on course to shoot next year with Will Smith starring. Muccino was hired after Jonathan Mostow dropped out because of creative differences. The trade says that Smith and Muccino had such a strong rapport on the recently completed The Pursuit of Happyness that the star was eager to reteam with the Italian helmer. Once the dust settled and Muccino got into the project, they decided that the story of a superhero in midlife crisis wasn't for him, and the split was amicable. Because Sony has Muccino preparing "Happyness" for a December release, the studio already pushed Tonight, He Comes from a summer start to early 2007. Warner Bros. used the open slot to accelerate the start of the Francis Lawrence-directed sci-fi film I Am Legend.

TopDawg14 Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I would not be surprised if this movie gets shelved completely. It looks more and more like "I Am Legend" will be Will's next movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted May 18, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Well I'm happy muccino's gone.. but what does it say about the project when two directors leave it within a couple of months :ohdear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I hope they don't close down this project, now that he's gone. :stickpoke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Something is wrong with this project... i think it is very realistic when this movie will be canceled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAshley Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I get the feeling maybe "Greenbacks" will be Will's next movie after "Legend"... Tonight's just not coming together the way it seems it should be, I wouldn't be surprised if it did get put on the shelf for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radewart Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I don't think it's anything wrong with the movie itself, it just like people were saying in another thread..this really isn't a type of movie for Muccino. He doesn't seem like the special effects type of director, maybe he and Will will reteam on another drama in the future. This still gives hope for Michael Mann to not only produce it, but direct it as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 i hope it doesnt get cancelled, i like the sound of this one more than the others, but what i hear from people maybe its best this director left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Tiger Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) This is one of the movie's I'm more interested in. I don't want this thing getting cancelled or delayed forever (unless that means all his movies get delayed and he actually has to focus on music). God Blessa!

Members Mr K Posted May 21, 2006 Members Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I don't think it's gonna get cancelled. After all this talk about getting Ashwayra Rai to be cast alongside Smith for something and the hype that was created it just wouldn't be a smart move. Then again, Hollywood has shown us multiple times that it's capable of making stupid moves:/ After "I Am Legend" wraps Michael Mann will have been completely done with "Miami Vice" and I don't think he is OFFICIALLY signed for anything else so who knows...he just became a real candidate again. What's acting against his candidacy to do it is probably the fact that Will's and Mann's last collaboration (also done at Sony) "Ali" was not a commercial success. To a money-grabbing studio like Sony, I bet it is a factor. Anyway, another mname just popped into mu head. What do you guys think about J.J. Abrams. I mean "M:I:3" is so far the best recieved movie of the summer (both commercially and critically) and there's no doubt that "Lost" and "Alias" are among the best TV-Shows in recent history so Abrams is definitely "tha THING" right now..

Abrams is supposed to do a new take on the "Star Trek" series. Eventhough "Ali" underperformed at the box office, Mann is still a highly regarded director. "Collateral" made money and while see about "Miami Vice". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabman Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Tonight He Comes was cancelled by Overbrook and Sony for 2007. Probably it could be made after I am Legend for a 2008 release... hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
