Hancock

[Super_Ludacris]

Even the first Matrix didnt come out in the summer...Movies like this work in the 2nd qtr spring time.

[Hunter Rider]

If it credits the comic book as its source material, it's a comic book movie. And eventually, promotion for the film will acknowledge that fact. They'd be stupid not to. It's about the only card left they have to play, 'cause I've yet to see anything to indicate that a lot of people are anxious to see it. And I'm not even talking about the comic fans who are disappointed with all the liberties taken with it, I'm talking about the general public.

I doubt they'll play a card that is worthless and it was better received at the Superbowl than Iron Man, i think it's gonna do well but I'll take that bet with you now. :cwink:

Especially with Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Hellboy and The Dark Knight all coming out this summer, why wouldn't Universal play the comic book movie card?!? Why wouldn't they lump themselves in with that crew? They'd be foolish not to.

b/c they are all playing the same card and they want to stand out from the pack.

Because maybe lumping themselves in with that crew is overkill and as the least appealable comic book movie out of four it may suffer going directly against them?

[KenK]

It's not about going against them. It's about capitalizing on the comic book movie bandwagon, and benefitting from the fact that so few of the general public are unfamiliar with the specific comic, that they won't care about the liberties taken, and just say, "Oooh, it's based on a comic, like that new Iron Man film? Like that new Batman film? Like that new Incredible Hulk film? Etc.

Come to think of it, I'm gonna retract my statement about 300, it wasn't a fluke, moreso a film that, like the Matrix, came at the right time, and had a lot of elements working in its favor. Sin City got people interested in the whole "green screen sound stage" thing, and with the critical acclaim of that film, 300 was positioned perfectly to succeed. Between perfecting the filmmaking techniques used for Sin City, and furthermore having Frank Miller's name associated with both films, it just took off like a runaway train.

Personally, aside from my disappointment in how thoroughly buthered the comic has become to create this film, I'm not seeing that much to really interest me in seeing. Granted, I probably will end up seeing it, because I'm a hopeless slave when it comes to comic book films, but really, I'd say there are only about one or two choice shots that would really grab anyone's attention;

*The scene with Fox opening the passenger door of her car and scooping up Wesley without stopping the car. That's pretty cool. But we've already seen about three different versions of it; the teaser, the Superbowl ad, and the psuedo-teaser clip from the film that's started running in theaters now.

*The scene with the guy crashing through the window of the skyscraper with all the glass trailing behind him.

This is all we get in the trailer for a movie directed by the guy who directed Nightwatch and Daywatch? I bet the budgets of those two films combined don't add up to the budget for Wanted, but I'll be damned if those two films don't give you more bang for your buck as far as action and effects, in just the trailers alone. When I heard he was directing Wanted, I figured even if they're not being faithful to the source material, at least the action and effects will be ridiculously good, considered what he's been able to do with lesser budgets. But dammit if Wanted doesn't look surprisingly cheap and underwhelming. There's hardly anything in it that we haven't seen before in lesser films.

[Dr Lee]

There was a superbowl ad?

I thought there wasn't one... could i get a link?

[Hunter Rider]

The stuff where they swerve the bullets is awesome IMO and the one in particular where Fox swerves the "Goodbye" bullet around the pillar is astonishing looking. All the action so far has felt a lot fresher looking than what ive seen in the other trailer for this summer.

the Superbowl ad, and the psuedo-teaser clip from the film that's started running in theaters now.

What is this ?

Man I just thought with Hancock, TDK, Hellboy 2, Hulk, Ironman and Wanted, people would be fed up with Superhero/comic book flicks this summer. Which is why I worry for the Dark Knight as its last one to come out..........but then its the mother****ing Dark Knight and its been anticipated for more than Jesus and Detox, like Jesus on Detox.

[dark_b]

i just posted it in the post before yours. ;)
you posted the Wanted spot :o

[GL1]

So... what movie are we talking about?

Wanted will be decent, it's pretty clear.

On Hancock, I'm really fearful they'll pull some sort of power-transfer storyline... and... well... it didn't work well in Super Ex... I don't see it here...

[cerealkiller182]

You'll be suprised the last couple of years when a trailer for that genre comes on and the Marvel/DC/vertigo logo flases on first.

Damn cycnical Washington DC moviegoers.....:cmad:

[GL1]

what is hancock about?


Hancock is about a down-and-out (semi-retired) superhero who is much maligned by the public as he tries to reclaim his self respect and reputation. Everything beyond that is speculation.

Just guessing, I think he boinks his publicists' wife, which leads to all manner of social complication. And I think she gets powers and kicks his butt... awkward to say the least. But we should probably wait for a real trailer before making such conclusions.

Not to sound crass, but Ledger's death is probably get even more butts in seats now. It was already a highly anticipated film, especially given Ledger's involvement, but now that he's died, people who may have been on the fence about the film will want to see it out of morbid curiosity.

I've re-read a script review from Latino Review, so now I can say that I doubt this film will be good :(

But why does it matter if its a comic movie or not? It doesnt. A good movie is a good movie. I dont see every comic movie that comes around, just the ones i think will be good, or wait for the iffy ones on DVD.

[thejon93]

Personally, I think Hancock is going to be one of the many rare gems that we will be seeing throughout this year. Although I can already see most people probably won't like it, I think this is going to be one of those movies where the actor(s) really throw the curveball towards most audience members and I think Will Smith has starred in a lot of those movies these days but at the same time they have really driven his career to new heights like: The Pursuit of Happyness, I Am Legend, etc.

[GL1]

I've re-read a script review from Latino Review, so now I can say that I doubt this film will be good :(

I took a look at it, but it doesn't sound a great deal like the movie I've seen in trailers... I suspect some major changes have been made since that script.

Popular genres peter out until there next cycle of reinvention when there is an oversaturation usually in a short period.

I wouldn't trust AICN with two bucks... they have a mob-mentality type of bias and if I copy paste some of the stuff I've seen over there over here I'd be, rightfully, called a troll.

I'm guessing the full trailer is going to come out in May with Iron Man or one of the other comic book movies. This will give two months of advanced hype. I've been looking around to find the comic book this is based on, but I can't find it... I didn't think there was one...

I'm still looking forward to it being a good movie... it just needs a great villain to clinch the goodness.

'Hancock' — Another superhero with issues? (http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-04-09-hancock-peek_N.htm?csp=34)

Every superhero has a weakness. Hancock just happens to be flush with them.

He hates his job, loves his booze and would be pulled over for flying under the influence — if anyone could catch him after he has plowed through a building or traffic sign.

All of which makes the Will Smith film, due July 2, an anomaly among superhero pictures, most of which are ripped from the pages of comic books.

"He does as much damage as good," director Peter Berg says from the set on Hollywood Boulevard, where he and crews have turned over trucks, set fires and scattered plastic rubble to turn Los Angeles into a city of ruin.

"Jimmy Kimmel was watching from his office and shaking his head at us like, 'What the hell are you doing?' " Berg says. "There are a lot of fun things to making a movie, but the best is creating an entire world that feels real."

Part of getting real: using a harness and wires, not a green screen, to make Smith's superhero fly. The actor was suspended 200 feet above the ground and propelled at 50 mph, and he's more than fine with it.

"The computer effects look great," Smith says after being unhooked from his ride down the famed street, home of the Kodak Theatre and the Oscars. "But it's more fun to get your hands dirty."

[TNC9852002]

Nice hearing about the practical flying.

-TNC

[terry78]

Yeah, I think it makes more sense for him to be on a harness seeing as how the character will be flying kinda tipsy and haphazard.

[GhostPoet]

Wow, that sounds kinda scary actually. Big props to Will for doing it.

[dark_b]

it will be mostly CGI. it its the same with all movies. they are always saying how they are all filming but then it is all replaced with CGI.

go will!
and I wonder if this will get a sequel..

then again, Will should really go ahead and sieze upon a Marvel-based character..

It'd be cool if they made a prequel comic before the film release.

Saw a commercial on FOX tonight (during Hells Kitchen) saying there would be a special preview of Hancock on April 23rd (I believe). The commercial was odd though, because it didn't show a time :confused:

Maybe a new trailer or something? The commercial went by quick, so just keep an eye out.

[Dr Lee]

Is there anything interesting on FOX on the 23rd?

[the a1ant]

'Till Death, Back To You and American Idol. :confused:

I'm guessing it would be during American Idol then

Same here.... I'd also expect you'll be reminded about it every single ad break untill it airs as well.....

[the a1ant]

Just a reminder. A special 'exclusive' preview of Hancock tomorrow (Wed, April 23rd) on Fox. I saw another commercial tonight for it. No time is listed, but sometime during their main primetime shows (probably during American Idol).

[dark_b]

i hope it is the trailer.

[Nightmare]

Id like to see a trailer. Though im very skeptical of this.

[the a1ant]

I think it is the new trailer. Just saw a commercial for the exclusive preview tonight, and it showed a new logo sequence at the end. The commercial just said "coming up" so I don't have an exact time.

my anticipation for this film just doubled, at least. i'm still a bit weary from those less than favorable reviews on aintitcool a few weeks ago, but still.

I hope Bryan Singer never lowers his level of quality or taste enough to even consider doing something that looks as bad as this film does...:whatever:

And yet somehow infinitely more entertaining than Superman Returns. :o

[Prison Mike]

charlize theron is the villain.

really? wow.

[terry78]

Action-wise, Superman should have been this. Even if some reviews don't like it, I can promise you some of them will mention that.

[PJBoy]

We need this in HD
I have to agree, I hope someone put it up soon.

[The Apatow Crew]

really? wow.I heard shes a also a person with super powers and gets jealous of hancock.

Btw the previewd looked awesome! Looks like Will Smith has done it again!

[ANTOINE X]

I don't know why but something tells me I'm gonna really enjoy that movie. The second trailer was even better than the first one. :up:

[protocida]

About the villain:


The rumor of Charlize Theron being it came from leaked pics of she lefting a car with her bare hands. It wasn't clear if it was for the movie or only a joke, but it sounds like we're getting a super-powered villain too.


And how cool was the action scene with the costume? Stoping a missile with his bare hands! Falling along with a bridge. Facing of Three *ucking Tornados!

Damn you, Bryan Singer! You blind.

[AshtonFoster]

I think this could do some MAJOR business at the BO....Could actually end up being the biggest gross of the year when you consider;
A Family Superhero Film + Comedy + Action + Will Smith + If it's at least a decent film (which it looks like it easily is is) = MOOOOONEY!!!

[Hunter Rider]

The preview was awesome! The action looks insane and I'm glad to see the serious side will mix in well with the comedy, another massive hit for Will, totally trumped most recent Superhero flicks visually.

[Jspider13]

I'm even more excited to see this.

[Hunter Rider]

Has anyone got a copy of the footage without the extra 8 minutes of blank screen ?

[Dark Donnie]

Has anyone got a copy of the footage without the extra 8 minutes of blank screen ?
Hows this?
http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/hancock/first-look

Its steaming which I know you hate:cwink:

[fabman]

Is this "just" a preview, or is this the actual theatrical trailer?

[RickO'Connell]

It is the full trailer & am I the only one that wants a Hancock & Superman team up ?

[Dark Donnie]

Yeah its a full trailer....I think this movie looks amazing....another great choice for Smith :up:

[Hunter Rider]

Hows this?
http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/hancock/first-look

Its steaming which I know you hate:cwink:

Heh. :D thanks Donnie but i am looking for a copy of footage only that i can rip and keep.

[dark_b]

this is not the full trailer IMO.
i think this wa teh trailer edited for the TV.i think the trailer will look 80% the same.

[Dark Donnie]

this is not the full trailer IMO.
i think this wa teh trailer edited for the TV.i think the trailer will look 80% the same.

Who knows, its like 2 mins long with alot of new footage....I just figured it was the trailer.

[Warhammer]

Whoa, that was crazy! Hancock looks fantastic. I love how we still have comedy, but now we have some drama and serious tones, as well. This is a "First Look," not a theatrical trailer, but I am sure that 95% of what we saw in that First Look will be in the theatrical trailer.

:up:

[BETArayBill]

looks pretty good

[the a1ant]

this is not the full trailer IMO.
i think this wa teh trailer edited for the TV.i think the trailer will look 80% the same.

Yeah, it might be either edited to include more or less footage than the actual theatrical trailer.

Hopefully it'll officially get online soon.

Eww @ that prison scene. Did what I think happen just happen??? :p

[dark_b]

Who knows, its like 2 mins long with alot of new footage....I just figured it was the trailer.i saw a lot of trailers premiere on TV. and they always said trailer. its just in a was strange that they are sainyf ''first look''. if it was teh theatrical full traielr then i think they would say trailer. plus the editing was not like for a superhero movie IMO

[the a1ant]

About the villain:


The rumor of Charlize Theron being it came from leaked pics of she lefting a car with her bare hands. It wasn't clear if it was for the movie or only a joke, but it sounds like we're getting a super-powered villain too.

Damn you, Bryan Singer! You blind.

There's a couple quick scenes of the two fighting.

The stopping the missile scene with his bare hands scene is awesome :up:

[RickO'Connell]

The ending does feel sort of cutted off before it actually ends. If anything the style of this edit reminds me of the Spider-Man 2 trailer. If this is not the full trailer then I would think that after Hancock announces he will start helping people & be a more decent person there would be the usual 30 second dramatic music edit

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, it might be either edited to include more or less footage than the actual theatrical trailer.

Hopefully it'll officially get online soon.

Eww @ that prison scene. Did what I think happen just happen??? :pYep he put that guys head up another gys butt.:o:wow:

[dark_b]

if it is the trailer then i am a little sad because tehre is almost no new music. all old music already used. and the last part doesnt have any new epic music.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Cant believe i never noticed this before, just watched the teaser and then the first look, this looks superb, i think Smith is a superb actor, and its very rare that i dont enjoy one of his movies, this looks to be no different.

BTW, quick question, is it based on a comic book or TPB?

[fabman]

No. Original script.

[dark_b]

it was already time for will smith to make a superhero movie with superpowers.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

No. Original script.

Hhhhmmm, strange, it just seems like the idea came from a comic book, either way, it looks really good.

[fabman]

Yeah... No, it's an original script. Maybe you already knew - but this movie has been in development for 14 years... since 1994.

The part where Hancock asks the policewoman if he could touch her sooooo cracks me up... "It's not sexual... maybe on a different day..." - the look on his face in that scene is priceless!

[dark_b]

Yeah... No, it's an original script. Maybe you already knew - but this movie has been in development for 14 years... since 1994.

The part where Hancock asks the policewoman if he could touch her sooooo cracks me up... "It's not sexual... maybe on a different day..." - the look on his face in that scene is priceless!it was 100% will smith comedy. :woot:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah... No, it's an original script. Maybe you already knew - but this movie has been in development for 14 years... since 1994.

No i didnt know it had been in development for that long, who knew Hollywood could still come up with new ideas? Very interesting though, and it seems a role tailormaid for Will.

That, and were he throws the whale and it lands on a boat, both had me in stitches, cant believe i have just noticed the movie!

[batman44]

Impressive trailer.

[fabman]

it was 100% will smith comedy. :woot:

Yeah :woot:

[Cinemaman]

charlize theron is the villain.

Umm, I haven't read anything about that in the script review. What's the source?

[amazingfantasy15]

This looks good. What Superhero Movie should have been.

[dark_b]

Umm, I haven't read anything about that in the script review. What's the source?set pics. :cwink:
and in the trailer the same clothes with the same hairstyle.

[Cinemaman]

set pics. :cwink:
and in the trailer the same clothes with the same hairstyle.

I haven't seen these pics, where can I find them?

[fabman]

No i didnt know it had been in development for that long, who knew Hollywood could still come up with new ideas? Very interesting though, and it seems a role tailormaid for Will.

Yeah, it was originally called Tonight, He Comes. The script was originally written by Vincent Ngo, with rewrites made by Vince Gilligan. The movie has been in development since 1996, not '94 (sorry). Tony Scott, Michael Mann *, Jonathan Mostow and Gabriele Muccino were all attached to direct the movie at one point, and I'm glad that Peter Berg managed to get this movie out of development hell. Will Smith was cast in 2005 by Jonathan Mostow, and decided to produce the pic aswell when the director left the project. I've heard that John August has done several uncredited rewrites, but it has not been confirmed.

* Michael Mann is on board as producer

"Greenpeace does" :woot:will smith was casted in 2005? and they already started filming in 2007? woow :wow:

[Untilteld]

It kept glitching so I couldn't watch it without interruption, hopefully there'll be a different version out soon.

[Dark Donnie]

I haven't seen these pics, where can I find them?

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/charlizehancock.jpg

[Cinemaman]

I doubt she is, there was nothing about that in the script review, which wasn't fake as I hope.

[Dark Donnie]

I doubt she is, there was nothing about that in the script review, which wasn't fake as I hope.

I don't if she is either, thats just the pic in question.

[the a1ant]

There are a couple of quick shots showing Hancock battling someone. Kinda looks like her (the black outfit), but not 100% sure.

JoBlo.com called this an extended tv spot and said the full trailer would be online next week, so maybe we'll get more footage or a different edit?

FYI: There are lots of reviews on IMDB from early screenings and they're pretty much all positive. Some people seemed to not like the film turning dramatic at points though, and there seem to be some complaints about the fleshing-out of the villain. A couple reviews even said that the film didn't really need a big villain. I think it's a good sign they're screening this early and getting audience feedback.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It looks like fun, I hope they get the tone right. Movies like this are hard to get right.

[Dark Donnie]

edit

[LegendaryCaleb]

im excited about this film...the first look totally changed my opinion

[PWN3R]

Whoah whoah whoah. I had no idea this movie looked so...awesome? New video was great, I'm actually excited, really excited, for this flick. Will Smith keeps picking winners.:up:

I hope that they won't cut the dramatic parts in favor of a more commercial film. Hancock is meant to be somewhat dark and mean-spirited, and not purely funny. Let's hope they'll keep the heart of the story in the final cut.

Getting audience feedback very rarely is good though, usually tends to dumb down a movie.

[BMM]

Haha. I like that Hancock knocks the crap out of little Michael Myers. :up:

[War Party]

The latest trailer has me very intrigued.

[Storm22]

This film has gone way up in my estimations now. That preview was great, looking forward to the movie! His superhero suit does look very X-Men though, but that's not a bad thing.

[Rac]

Hmm, the new trailer/preview looked actually pretty good.

[RickO'Connell]

TV Spot for Hancock just played during Smallville

^Cool :up:

The costume designer is the same one from X1 and X2. She could've been more original, but eh...it looks good :p

Oh right, no i have heard absolutely nothing about this movie until it went into production, but even then i didnt pay much attention to it, until i saw the trailer and first look, both got me very interested.


"Greenpeace does" :woot:

LOL.

[hlbimage]

[quote=AVEITWITHJAMON;14645204]Oh right, no i have heard absolutely nothing about this movie until it went into production, but even then i didnt pay much attention to it, until i saw the trailer and first look, both got me very interested.

from imdb.com there's like 7 executive producers on this. I hope it is funnier than Will Smith's last movie called "I Am Legend". :cwink:

[Eddie Brock]

Guess which movie just slipped in behind TDK and Iron Man for my most anticipated '08 flicks. :cwink:

[gtkilla]

Saw a TV spot for this during Smallville yesterday. Looks pretty good. :up: Definitely a flick I'm gonna see in the theatres.

But, the title is just ridiculous. lol At least the previous one wasn't as suggestive or...blunt. :O

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. It was. :o Lmao

[fabman]

Yeah, I mean...

Tonight, HE COMES :D

[gtkilla]

Yeah, I mean...

Tonight, HE COMES :D

I know. lol They couldn't have made it "Tonight, He Arrives" or "Tonight, He's Here", but "Tonight, He Comes". :dry: The producers/director clearly made the title that way intentionally. I don't know why, but whatever...:D

[fabman]

I know. lol They couldn't have made it "Tonight, He Arrives" or "Tonight, He's Here", but "Tonight, He Comes". :dry: The producers/director clearly made the title that way intentionally. I don't know why, but whatever...:D

I know why, and I'm not kidding (even though, maybe it's not the reason :D)...

In the script there's a scene where Hancock is not being to... well... come - actually, he's not able to get his best friend up. The script has been rewritten since then so I'm not sure if that part is still in it - I don't think so...

[thejon93]

I surely hope not:o

[Sebastos]

That was an awesome trailer and awesome footage. Smith has another hit under his belt. :up:

[RickO'Connell]

So here is a question that hopefully has not been asked yet. If Hancock becomes popular should they just create a whole new universe or see if Marvel or DC would want to buy him & he can eventually join the Justice League or Avengers

[thejon93]

So here is a question that hopefully has not been asked yet. If Hancock becomes popular should they just create a whole new universe or see if Marvel or DC would want to buy him & he can eventually join the Justice League or Avengers
I'm afraid no one can answer that, my friend. I personally think that if either brand or both offer to purchase the rights to 'Hancock', the company will decline due to repeated success.

[RickO'Connell]

I'm afraid no one can answer that, my friend. I personally think that if either brand or both offer to purchase the rights to 'Hancock', the company will decline due to repeated success.

It was more of a hypothetical question to see what the comic fans here would think of joining DC or Marvel. There is money to be made if Hancock was a part of the eventual Avengers movie by Marvel

[Sentinel X]

Okay, nitpicking is not my thing when it comes to movies but this kind of bothered me...

When Hancock threw that kid like thousands of feet up into the air and then catches him...shouldn't the kid have died?
His body deflects bullets for christ's sake and he breaks through concrete and metal highway signs like its nothing.

[dark_b]

but yeah i agree. no matter how you turn it. there is no way that the kid could survive. but at least this looks more like a comedy.

[fabman]

So here is a question that hopefully has not been asked yet. If Hancock becomes popular should they just create a whole new universe or see if Marvel or DC would want to buy him & he can eventually join the Justice League or Avengers

What does THAT mean? Hancock is a movie... simple as that. There may be some comic book tie-ins, but other than that... it's a damn movie. :woot:

[dark_b]

so if charlize theron is the villain then he will have to fight a women. the question now is how will they do that.
we all know that hollywood doenst like to show man fighting women.

[BlackLantern]

as long as the woman in question is a rampaging psycho **** its ok....this film looks interesting and I think Jason Bateman is becoming a comedic great....loved his part in Dodgeball

[fabman]

as long as the woman in question is a rampaging psycho **** its ok....this film looks interesting and I think Jason Bateman is becoming a comedic great....loved his part in Dodgeball

I was about to write that aswell. He's GREAT in Dodgeball. It so cracks me up just watching his expressions... while he's chewing that gum... :woot:

[BlackLantern]

I was about to write that aswell. He's GREAT in Dodgeball. It so cracks me up just watching his expressions... while he's chewing that gum... :woot:

I was watching the dvd commentary and apparently the outfit was his idea....originally he was just supposed to be a color commentator, dressed like Gary Cole was....but since they were making fun of ESPN a little he decided to do the spiky hair and the whole bit....."Pepper needs new shorts!!!"

[fabman]

He's definitely a cool dude!

[BlackLantern]

even the little part he had in "The Sweetest Thing" was fantastic....singing 'Eternal Flame' at the reception..fantastic

[turtlefocker]

It'd be cool if they made this a series, like have Hancock 2 and 3.

[BlackLantern]

Let's see how the movie turns out before talking franchises....Will Smith seems to think the film will do well....

[turtlefocker]

So here is a question that hopefully has not been asked yet. If Hancock becomes popular should they just create a whole new universe or see if Marvel or DC would want to buy him & he can eventually join the Justice League or Avengers

I think the character is more suited to Marvel... but I don't see why he can't just be a stand-alone hero.

[thejon93]

so if charlize theron is the villain then he will have to fight a women. the question now is how will they do that.
we all know that hollywood doenst like to show man fighting women.
Have you seen 'Live Free or Die Hard'?!...:woot:

[BlackLantern]

I gather from the trailer he isn't from Earth, so I'm guessing Hancock is what Superman would have been if he was raised by DBags as opposed to good folk like the Kents

[Magneto29]

I think he's probably from earth. A one of a kind special human.

[Ceb-Man]

You know at first I wasn't very keen seeing this film, but after watching the trailer I would like to see this film. I really think it can bring something different to the table iin the superhero film genre. Hey it isn't Dark Knight or Iron-Man, but this could be something where we don't have a lot of back history and just follow it from there.With Batman and Iron-Man you expext certain things to stay true to it's comic origins, where this is not.

[Bren]

Any chance Bateman's character is the 'bad guy'? Think about it;
Hancock bangs his wife.
We find out that;
a) condom isn't superhero-proof
b) the, err, deed provides certain attributes, and
she gets superpowers

And the best thing that can happen to a superhero's agent? Your superhero saving the universe/world/city!!!

So, blackmail/trick/drug/pay superCharlize into attacking the city. Viola - huge publicity regardless of which way the fight goes...

Bateman = Bad, bad man (would this be a first, Bateman being the villian?)

Hey, just throwing it out there.

And I'm watching this - I just want to have fun when I watch movies, and this movie looks like it'll provide heaps!

[turtlefocker]

I like that early reviews say it gets 'serious' for the last 20 minutes or so, sounds like the climax is going to be an intense battle. The trailer hints at it with the 'Hancock is down, he looks hurt' line.

[RickO'Connell]

I kind of hope that Hancock is basically the black version of Superman but with a few differences. His home planet could still be around & how & why Hancock ends up on Earth could be a mix of Superman & Dune. On his home planet his family is royalty & the planet gets divided into war & Hancock family eventually gets over thrown & put in jail or something & the last thing Hancock parents do is send him to Earth so that he can grow up & learn about his powers on a better planet & eventually come back home to take back the planet & save his family

[Bren]

Hell no.

[RickO'Connell]

Hell no.

How would you do Hancock story ? Mine is enough for 3 movies heh

[turtlefocker]

Hancock isn't censored... what are you typing to get "Han*****" ?

[RickO'Connell]

Hancock isn't censored... what are you typing to get "Han*****" ?

For me Hancock is censored for some reason :o Hey it works now that is weird I looked back & I am typing it just fine

[Bren]

How would you do Han***** story ? Mine is enough for 3 movies heh

He's a drunk hobo superhero, born on earth of earthly people. How did he get his powers? Noone cares. Anymore.

[BlackLantern]

from what I saw in the trailer he makes a statement to the press about being the last of his kind....if I had to guess Id say he ended up on Earth due to something f'ed up happening to his planet...

[cerealkiller182]

didnt he say the only one of his kind. As in the only superhuman. Thats how I interpreted, but alien origin is also plausible

[BlackLantern]

it looks like Peter Berg is moving up the Hollywood ladder at a good clip....he has some good films under his belt...

[turtlefocker]

yea, The Rundown was awesome

[BlackLantern]

and The Kingdom proved he could handle a big budget film

[turtlefocker]

Since Hancock isn't based on an existing character/universe it gives the writers/directors more creative control. They can develop new villains/allies. That's why I think sequels would work.

It'd be hard for them to balance the sarcasm/humor with the action though...

Is their a shot in the trailer of the super-villain, it goes by to fast. Does anyone have the video on their comp, and are able to screen shot it?

Peter Berg is pretty good at getting a decent amount of humor in his films

[turtlefocker]

but sequel wise (if their is one), he probably won't be coming back, since he's got Dune and what-not. It'll be hard for them to keep the tone of this one, without it becoming to comical or to drama...y

[dark_b]

you know they can change the director. of cours only if they can get a good one. but come on guys you know very good that will smith will never allow a bad director.

[turtlefocker]

Why can't Hancock's costume be more like the one in the comic? :cmad:

:hehe:

THE VILLAIN: http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/charlizehancock.jpg

guess that guy was right.

the question for me is...after the movie hits, will it spawn a comic of its own?

I'd read it...

[Dark Donnie]

Any chance Bateman's character is the 'bad guy'? Think about it;
Hancock bangs his wife.
We find out that;
a) condom isn't superhero-proof
b) the, err, deed provides certain attributes, and
she gets superpowers

And the best thing that can happen to a superhero's agent? Your superhero saving the universe/world/city!!!

So, blackmail/trick/drug/pay superCharlize into attacking the city. Viola - huge publicity regardless of which way the fight goes...

Bateman = Bad, bad man (would this be a first, Bateman being the villian?)

Hey, just throwing it out there.

And I'm watching this - I just want to have fun when I watch movies, and this movie looks like it'll provide heaps!

From what I read

Charlize Theron and Bateman are the villains. As you said Bateman I guess suspects Theron and Will are messing around and truns on Hancock. That is at least what the review hinted.

didnt he say the only one of his kind. As in the only superhuman. Thats how I interpreted, but alien origin is also plausible

I also think he meant he's the only super powered being. I don't think he's an alien.

The action/comedy mix seems to work well, I think it'll be a good movie.

He says "only one of my kind" which suggests that, on some level, he is specifically not human. Perhaps he was human at one time, perhaps not, but the bottom line is that he isn't anymore, or at least, isn't considered to be.

Think we'll get another poster, since this one has more of a 'teaser' poster look...

is it true that will smith had from 1995 until now every year a movie?

[chesslover]

He has the world's largest signature. It can be seen from the moon sans atmospheric interference.

i thought it was revealed some time ago that hancock and charlize theron's characters were

immortal gods, who forgot who they were long ago, and lose there powers when they're near eachother

was that not true?

could that be a little too much for the casual audience to handle?

[The Apatow Crew]

I just watched the "first look" again, and just realized something: When he was at that press conference where he declared that "he will be better," he also said: "Life here is difficult."

He said it in a tone that implies that he meant "life here on Earth," as opposed to "life here in L.A."

[Cinemaman]

So what's Hancock's origin? How did he get his powers?

I just hope he isn't alien, because if so, it will be Superman rehash :(
