Just weeks after boarding Sony's "Tonight, He Comes," director Gabriele Muccino has left reports Variety.
Muccino was hired after Jonathan Mostow departed because of creative differences. Smith and Muccino built a rapport on the recently completed "The Pursuit of Happyness", enough that the star was eager to reteam with the Italian helmer.
Once the dust settled and Muccino got into the project, they decided that the story of a superhero in midlife crisis wasn't for him, and the split was amicable.
The film is still on course to shoot next year with Will Smith starring.
