Smith back 'Tonight'

Tatiana Siegel
Helmer Gabriele Muccino is reteaming with Will Smith for Columbia Pictures' action drama "Tonight, He Comes." The two recently wrapped the drama "The Pursuit of Happyness" for the studio. Penned 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 helm the film, and Richard Saperstein are executive producing. Sony's Jonathan Kadin and DeVon Franklin are overseeing for the studio. Muccino will begin prepping "Tonight" after he finishes postproduction on "Happyness," which is scheduled for a Dec. 15 release. The studio is eyeing an early 2007 start date for "Tonight." Muccino is repped by CAA.
