Will Smith Is Not A Porn Star

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Will Smith and director Jonathan Mostow have officially signed on to bring us Tonight, He Comes, the sketchiest titled movie of all time. Despite the various ejaculatory implications of the title, the film is actually about "a disaffected and underappreciated superhero in a mid-life crisis." Last I heard, the plot involved him getting really drunk and crash landing in a small town, where he falls in love with a local housewife or something.

News of this project first broke way back in June, right around the time it was announced that Ivan Reitman would be directing Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson in Super Ex, which has since been re-titled Super Ex-Girlfriend and gained new cast members in the form of Rainn Wilson and Eddie Izzard as the villain. I'm really looking forward to both of these projects, as I think they have tremendous potential do something new with the hugely successful superhero genre. Although it's possible that my excitement for these movies might just be displaced longing for the still stalled Watchmen film. Probably a little of both.

Anyway, Columbia is putting up the dough and looking to start production next summer in LA. That means that Mostow will be temporarily shelving Swiss Family Robinson as well as the proposed fourth Terminator film. Smith just finished The Pursuit Of Happyness with his young son Jaden and the only other thing currently on his plate (aside from some lingering Nick Fury rumors) is Time Share with Nic Cage, which sounds like a mean spirited version of The Great Outdoors.
