Hancock 2 Movie with Will Smith is Confirmed. Hancock 2 Trailer Will be Released In 2012
Charlize Theron will Return in Hancock 2
October 29, 2009 by Richie
Yes, I loved Iron Man also. And of course Superman is wonderful and Spider Man and Bat Man are also superheroes. But what about a dude named Hancock? If you haven’t seen the surprise hit of 2008, Hancock, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron, you definitely should go out and rent it now.
Basically, Hancock stars both Charlize Theron and Will Smith, although Theron shows up too late for my taste. The idea is that Will Smith is a bum who is also a super hero. He is tearing apart down town Los Angeles and making a mess until a guy (played by Jason Bateman) gets saved by him and decides to try to help him remake his image.
The movie goes on from there in a predictable fashion. The man decides to call himself Hancock after a fan asks him to sign his John Hancock and he doesn’t know what that means, so he simply signs the paper, John Hancock. It becomes a feel good movie until midway through, our hero must fight the bad guys once more, but just then, Charlize Theron shows up in Hancock’s life and boom, things are different.
I’m not going to give away the entire movie, but I will reiterate that I feel that Charlize Theron’s character gets short shrift in the movie. Theron really doesn’t show up until more than halfway through the film, which I suppose makes sense since if she did, she would have killed the lead character (Will Smith as Hancock). But still, with such hotness as Charlize available, it seems to me that the writers did a real disservice to movie goers everywhere when they didn’t find a way to use her more.
Still, I suspect that if there is a new Hancock movie, Charlize Theron will get top billing since we would want to find out the origins of the friendly neighborhood bum cum super hero. Those who have seen the movie will understand what I’m talking about and for those who haven’t, please do rent it. It’s awesome.
Oh, and for fans who have already seen it, there is still no word on the possibility of a new movie. Nor is there any word if Charlize Theron will reprise her role in the New Hancock. All we know is that there are rumors circulating that a new movie is under development and it may come out in 2012.
Will Smith is a Hancock

Yes, I loved Iron Man also. And of course Superman is wonderful and Spider Man and Bat Man are also superheroes. But what about a dude named Hancock? If you haven’t seen the surprise hit of 2008, Hancock, starring Will Smith, you definitely should go out and rent it now.
The movie was very much unlike any other superhero movie ever made. Usually, when we see superheroes, they are clean and well groomed (I always wondered how Superman is supposed to shave or take a haircut though, since his hair should be just as impervious to anything else, wouldn’t it automatically break any razor that was applied to it?), they always seem to know just the right thing to do and they always look dashing in their tight outfits.
It all makes me feel like just once, maybe we should have a superhero who is overweight. Well, with Will Smith in Hancock, we got the next best thing, or rather worse thing, or rather, well something different anyway. Hancock is a drunken, homeless bum who is also blessed with super powers. He goes and tries to be a hero, saving people, but then destroys half of downtown Los Angeles, causing people to hate him and to dread his arrival.
The man doesn’t have any clue who he is or why he’s there and he calls himself Hancock because a fan asks him to sign his “John Hancock.”
Then, one fine day, Will Smith as Hancock goes and rescues a man (Jason Bateman) who is a media consultant. The man is down on his luck himself, but sees a golden opportunity with Hancock. It’s a chance for him to rehabilitate the superhero and turn him into someone the public could love (earning himself a place at the side of the man of the hour of course).
I don’t want to give away the whole story if you haven’t seen the film yet, but trust me, it’s a great movie and well worth the rental to see Will Smith playing Hancock. He really is just wonderful in the film.
Oh, and for fans who have already seen it, there is still no word on the possibility of Will Smith in a new Hancock movie. He has indicated he wants to do it and the Internet Movie Database does say that the movie is in development with a 2012 release date, but there is simply no word beyond that. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Hancock 2 on Youtube
October 29, 2009 by Richie
The video sharing service Youtube is known for a great many things. One of the scourges that they deal with of course is that of movies and TV shows illegally uploaded onto their web site. But, in a twist, a recent movie showed the other side of you tube and actually incorporated videos from it into the movie. So which movie used You Tube? Hancock of course.
Fans will recall that Hancock tells the story of a homeless man (played by Will Smith) with no name who happens to have super powers. The man goes around trying to save people and do the right thing, but typically causing more trouble than he should. He is constantly destroying things in downtown Los Angeles as he tries to help people and many people think he is a public menace who should not be allowed within the city limits.
The way he gets a name is that a boy stops our hero and asks for an autograph. The man looks at the boy and is confused so he says, “you know, sign your John Hancock.” The man signs the name John Hancock and from then on is known as Hancock, but not in a good way.
That all changes when Hancock saves a PR executive played by Jason Bateman. The man is grateful to Hancock for saving his life and also sees an opportunity. He brings Hancock home with him and tries to explain why there is a problem in the way he conducts his superhero activities.
And that’s where You Tube and Hancock cross. Hancock is shown several videos from Youtube. In one, he’s in tattered clothes which had just been burned in a fire he’d gone and put out. He pushes in front of a group of kids and grabs some ice cream, much to consternation of the children who were waiting in line. Then, we see Hancock rescue a giant beached whale by tossing the whale back into the water. One small problem: Hancock manages to toss the whale directly onto a sailing boat in the middle of the ocean.
To the best of my knowledge, You Tube did not pay a product sponsorship fee for having their product mentioned during the movie, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to play a more active role in the next Hancock movie, scheduled to come out in 2012. I can see it now: Youtube premiers Hancock 2 trailer. Hey, it could happen.
Hancock 2 Movie Trailer
October 29, 2009 by Richie
Would you like to see the Hancock 2 movie trailer? So would I. So would an awful lot of people who loved the original Hancock, made in 2008. So far, we know very little however. Will Smith has declared he definitely would like to make a new Hancock movie and the Internet Movie Database does list a Hancock 2 as being “under development.” Variety also made some noise about it, claiming that Jason Bateman would reprise his role as the media advisor for Hancock in a new movie.
So what do we know about Hancock 2 though? And what could we expect to see in a possible Hanock 2 movie trailer? I’ll tell you right now: absolutely nothing (that is, regarding the first question. Regarding the second question, we can also expect to see nothing since no filming has been done, but we hope that won’t last long). Regarding the new movie, there is no information on a story line, there is no information on who will be acting in the movie, there is nothing on who will be directing the new epic and frankly, there is nothing to say it’s definitely happening. Just some fairly certain rumors.
But in spite of the incredible uncertainty surrounding any possible Hancock 2 movie trailer, the speculation from fans is rife as to what might be done with the new epic. There is a rumor going around (really more like wishful thinking of fans at the moment) that the new movie will focus on Hancock’s origins. Readers will recall that toward the end of the movie, we learned that Charlize Theron’s character was some kind of a twin to Will Smith’s Hancock and that the two of them had to be kept separate or they would lose all their powers. But we never really learned where they came from or even why they had to stay separate.
There are all kinds of possibilities for a new movie right there, where we could explore ancient enemies, maybe their people could come to rescue them, maybe we could see where they came from. Maybe they are even human beings who somehow got these god like creatures. For all we know, the decision could be made to tell us that the Greek gods gave them the power they possess. The sky really is the limit, and not just for Hancock, but for anyone who loves the movie and is looking forward to seeing the new one.
We’re just going to have to be patient and wait for the Hancock 2 movie trailer to come out and tell us more than we already know about the movie, which as of today, is really precious little, if anything at all.
Hancock 2 Release Date set for 2012
October 29, 2009 by Richie
So, after the breakout hit from 2008 Hancock, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron, there has been talk on and off about the possibility for a Hancock 2 movie. Will Smith has declared that he is very in favor of the idea and he would like to see a movie made. The Internet Movie Database lists the movie as “in development” and scheduled for 2012 and Variety confirmed as well that the movie is being put together.
What do we know about Hancock 2 though? I’ll tell you right now: absolutely nothing. There is no information on a story line, there is no information on who will be acting in the movie, there is nothing on who will be directing the new epic and frankly, there is nothing to say it’s definitely happening. Just some fairly certain rumors.
That said, we can certainly speculate about what a Hancock 2 might include. Readers will recall that Hancock was an unlikely hero played in the movie by Will Smith. He would go and rescue people, but then cause tremendous amounts of damage. He was often disheveled, often drunk and often cursed. Not exactly Superman. (Then again, while I always loved Super Man, he was a little bit unbelievable. Even Lois Lane in the first movie laughed when he said he was here to fight for truth, justice and the American Way, saying “you’re going to be fighting every member of congress.”) But then he got himself a publicity agent and things started to turn around for him. He started to do things the right way, to be polite, to show up not drunk and not to cause so much damage. Along came Charlize Theron and he became weaker. It turned out the two of them were twins and they were separated at some point. It was only when they were apart that each had super powers. Otherwise, they were weaker than even an ordinary human being.
So getting back to a Hancock 2, the possibilities could include a look at what made Hancock who he is, in other words going back in time 3,000 years. Or maybe we could take a look at what some super enemy of Hancock’s might be like. Perhaps Hancock finally decides he’d like to settle down and find his own Lois Lane. How would they deal with the children? Would the children turn out to be superheroes?
Still another possibility for a Hancock 2 would be the possibility of talking about where they came from. Maybe they could show us Hancock’s people coming to get him after he has finally settled into life here on Earth. We don’t know yet, but we do know this: Hancock 2 should be totally awesome!
Hancock 2 In The Works
September 22, 2009 by Richie
We saw “Hancock 1” and we liked it after its slow start. Now it’s been confirmed by the first films stars, Will Smith and Charlize Theron that there will be a number two. The first film is about an alcoholic, bitter superhero (Smith) who gets an image makeover by a publicist (Jason Bateman) who just happens to be married to the world’s second secret superhero ( Theron). The second installment, however, will introduce a new superhero though. But right now the film’s producers are keeping the whole thing under a veil of secrecy. We think it’s because they don’t even have a screenplay written et so they don’t even have a clue.
“Hancock” grossed $227,946,274 in the United States, $396,440,472 and $624,386,746 world wide. Who knew? That’s why they’re doing a second one obviously.

With the recent multimedia success in the form of the production of the hit movie Hancock, the media, producers, directors, stars, huge fans and everybody else who is somebody have been hinting, claiming, wishing, thinking and saying that there might be a Hancock 2 in mind to give a well made and expected sequel to this well deserved recent hit. It might be the best type of superhero movie yet since people are still swarming the movie houses and keeping the lines long enough to keep the tickets sold out every day and staying at the top of the box office list.
The movie Hancock revolves around a man named John Hancock, played by award winning actor Will Smith, who is a superhero who has save many people in the city where he lives in and more, until one day when he accidentally caused a major damage in the city while doing his thing, which somewhat made the people angry. Soon they started disliking Hancock and the superhero started to lie low. But when it seemed that everything pointed to the end of his superhero days, Hancock saved the life a politician who was later on so grateful that he wanted to encourage Hancock to go out as a superhero again.
Anyway, watch the movie to be able to know more. And if you haven’t watched it yet, then don’t miss it because there might be a Hancock 2 in the near future, and watching the first part is a must
Hancock Will Smith
July 12, 2008 by Richie
In the latest hit movie Hancock Will Smith starred as the protagonist John Hancock who was a superhero known in the city where he lives in, already saving countless people using his powers from the time he was known, until one day he commits a mistake that led the people around him to immediately dislike him, which caused him to decide to lie low and not participate in the society again as a superhero. But a turn of unexpected events has led him to save the life of one person who, out of gratitude tries to convince Hancock to regain hill former status as one who uses his powers to help people.
Though in Hancock Will Smith played his role as the main character very well, it should not be taken in a way that this movie was the only one where he did well as an actor in the movie industry. As a matter of fact, one could say that the most probable reason why he was so good in the movie despite a poor script is because he has already had a lot of experience in the world of acting, which has allowed him to push to do better in every single movie he stars or casts in.
Among the other movies Will Smith has starred in include Men in Black and its sequel Men in Black 2 and many other movies that mostly people who watched the movie Hancock because he starred in it have already watched. For more information just check his acting history in the internet.

There are actually those kinds of people who simply enjoy watching trailers such as the Hancock trailer.
