Will Smith's newest project is without a director once again.

Italian helmer Gabriele Muccino has decided to back out of the Smith film, "Tonight, He Comes," due to creative differences over the plot, Variety reports.

The story centres on a superhero in a midlife crisis who crash lands in a small town where he falls for a housewife.

Smith hired Muccino (whom he worked with on the upcoming flick "Pursuit of Happyness") after helmer Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines") quit the project citing creative differences.
