 Will Smith Dons Cape for Superhero Drama Box office champ Will Smith is developing the superhero drama "Tonight He Comes," a project that has fallen on many executives' "best unproduced scripts" lists and attracted many A-listers.
The dark, adult tone made it difficult to set up, however. 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.
Smith, currently No. 1 at the box office with the romantic comedy "Hitch," is teaming up with director Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines") to bring the project to the big screen. They are in early negotiations with "Hitch" distributor Columbia Pictures.

I honestly dont know, I mean Will Smith doesnt seem like the right person for the role. Who knows though, this is a toss up. Smith is suppose to be the lovable character in movies, they say this movie is gonna have a dark tone and have Smith having one night stands and such, doesnt seem like a Smith movie, it's good that he's trying new things though.

This kind of sounds like Unbreakable. If it's anywhere near as good as that film, it'll be great.

Sounds interesting. We know it'll be a moneymaker with that Fresh Prince in it, but will it be any good critically?...........probably :wink:

Will Smith is good with comedy, and great with action, but drama, give me a break. As an actor his range is rather limited.
