I think we’re getting a little over saturated with the whole superhero thing. No, I’m not talking about actual comic book superhero films… I’m talking about the parodies. From Sky High to The Incredibles, to the upcoming Super-Ex and Zoom’s Academy… and now here comes another one called “Tonight, He Comes”.
The project has snagged Will Smith as a “disaffected and underappreciated superhero in a mid-life crisis“. Ummm… haven’t we seen this already?
Now I’m a Superhero movie nut, so I’ll see this… but honestly isn’t there enough of this type of genre film out there already? Maybe wait 3 or 4 years. I’m just not sure what the appeal is to a project like this one.
The other bit of news surrounding this, the director is Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3) who has also been officially slated to direct Terminator 4. Since Tonight, He Comes is scheduled to start filming in the summer, it’ll push back Terminator 4… but we don’t know by how much yet.
I still can’t decide if that’s good news or bad news.
