‘Hancock’ es un proyecto que pasó por varias manos, cuando se titulaba ‘Tonight, He Comes’. Will Smith siempre estuvo como la estrella principal, pero su director en principio iba a ser el genial Michael Mann, que hoy día figura como uno de los productores de la cinta, pero éste le pasó el testigo a Jonathan Mostow, de quien pasó a Peter Berg, interesante realizador de películas como la infravolarada ‘El Tesoro del Amazonas’ o ‘Very Bad Things’, y de quien pronto veremos ‘The Kingdom’, también conocido como actor, por ejemplo en ‘La Última Seducción’ o ‘Collateral’.

‘Hancock’ narra las aventuras de un superhéroe en horas bajas, y que mantiene una cuestionable relación con la mujer de un relaciones públicas, la cual intenta restaurar la imagen pública del superhéroe. El matrimonio estará interpretado por Charlize Theron y Jason Bateman. La película no se estrenará hasta el 2 de Julio del 2008 en los USA.

Will Smith in costume, shooting his new movie Hancock. Yes, that's the name, Hancock. Or perhaps it's John Hancock - there seems some dispute about that. Anyway, here's the plot outline from IMDb:

A hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who's trying to repair his image.

That will either be awesome or it will be totally horrible. By the way, Charlize Theron is playing the wife Will gets down with, and Jason Bateman is the public relations professional. The fact that Bateman is now getting third billing behind Will Smith and Charlize Theron just blows my mind. I never saw that show Arrested Development, but Bateman must've been awesome in it to effect such a turn-around in his reputation. It wasn't long ago that the guy was the "other Bateman" - and his sister Justine was the budding star. Now where's Justine? Dressing up in a pair of hot-pants to entice passing motorists to come get their car washed in the parking lot of a Kohl's?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Will's costume - it's stupid. He looks like a "futuristic" motorcycle cop from some low-budget seventies movie. Is John Saxon in this movie too? Joe Don Baker?
