Radewart Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Link:http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14306 Helmer Gabriele Muccino is reteaming with Will Smith for Columbia Pictures' action drama Tonight, He Comes, says The Hollywood Reporter. The two recently wrapped the drama The Pursuit of Happyness for the studio. Writen by Vince Gilligan and Vincent Ngo, "Tonight" centers on a tortured superhero who crash-lands in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and tries to transform himself by romancing an alluring housewife, causing chaos in the city. Akiva Goldsman and Michael Mann are producing alongside Smith and his Overbrook Entertainment partner, James Lassiter. Jonathan Mostow, who previously was attached to direct the film, and Richard Saperstein are executive producing. Muccino will begin pre-production on "Tonight" after he finishes post-production on "Happyness," which is scheduled for a December 15 release. The studio is eyeing an early 2007 start date for "Tonight." Interesting choice...I mean this movie obvisouly is gonna have big special effects in it, and Muccino's never done anything remotely like that. They must've really hit it off during the filming of "Happyness". Edited April 29, 2006 by Radewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr K Posted April 29, 2006 Members Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah, obviously. Good to know that they're finally moving forward with thid. One thing boithers me though, how can they be planning an early 2007 start date if "I Am Legend" is supposed to start filming at the beginning of 2007?

Admin Hero1 Posted April 29, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I sense another MIB 2 trainwreck on this 1.. not looking forward to it.. Muccino sounds like completely the wrong director for this project..and remember when Will doesn't get along with directors it makes for good movies (Bay, Tennant) directors he gets along with makes for average movies(sonnenfield-mib2, w3, mann- ali, redford - bagger vance) Yeah, obviously. Good to know that they're finally moving forward with thid. One thing boithers me though, how can they be planning an early 2007 start date if "I Am Legend" is supposed to start filming at the beginning of 2007? Wills got so many projects "in development" it was only a matter of time before clashes came up.. hes signing on 2 more movies than jackie chan.. looks like I am legend will be delayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jin Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 This is not a good move. Maybe it would have been better if they canceled this project. This movies cries to be directed by someone big e.g. Andy and Larry Wachowski (They did Matrix!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radewart Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) He may not be bad. Look at Brian Singer, the director of the past two X-Men movies and upcoming Superman, befor X-Men he had never done anything with fx, and it worked out fine. So not like it's impossible. Who would of thougt the forementioned Wachowski Bros. could go from "Bound" to "The Matrix". He'll get the relationship aspect of Will's character and "the alluring housewife" real well. That's propably why he's on it. What I wonder about is what Will is filming over the summer. This said "looking at an early 2007 start date" and the same was said for "I Am Legend". One's wrong, but which one is it? Edited May 1, 2006 by Radewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One's wrong, but which one is it? Are you serious? before X-Men Singer did "the usual suspects" one of the best movies of the 90s.. Muccino has not shown any ability to do a movie like this.. sounds like he got the job cause they got on well wfor Pursuit.. Jin is right.. this movie demanded a big director!

I meant Singer never did anything with fx, but he still wasn't overwhelmed with it on "X-Men". Has anybody seen any of Muccino's movies on this board, I haven't but they may be great, so who knows. I too would rather have a big time director like Mann, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, but Sony must like what he did on "Happyness" and Will must be pleased....

Admin Hero1 Posted May 2, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I guess .. Ridley Scott woulda been perfect!! :tantrum: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon20 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Did they pick muccino because they believed he would be the perfect fit ? Or did they pick him because they had to pick someone. on a short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr K Posted October 12, 2006 Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hello! Check this out: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16955 I haven't seen "Friday Night Lights" but the "Rundown" was awful so I'm sceptical on this one...

Jazzy Julie Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 well im excited, i really like the look of this film, i dont know who any of these directors are tho, im just glad the project is going somewhere. Will started filming "i am legend" last month, surely he will be finished by early 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted October 12, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 just an interesting side not about people leaving for creative differences..alex proyas said on his message board the other day he'd love to do i robot 2 but theres no way in hell he'd work with those guys at fox again.. hes since shelved his idea to write a book "robot wars" abt the studio execs stupidity and harassment.. so good luck to any director I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at wha they did X-Men 3. Proyas has always said nice things about Will and how supportive he was. Berg's doing a drama right now with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Gardner called "The Kingdom". I'd like to see that before I judge him as director for this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Tiger Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Berg actually sounds like the best director for the movie so far. God Blessa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
