Images From The Set Of HANCOCK!! See Will On His Butt & Theron Lifting Trucks!!
Merrick here...
KaNkeRhOnD Extraordinaire sent in some photos from the filming of HANCOCK. This is the angsty, not-entirely-squeaky-clean superhero movie that was once called TONIGHT, HE COMES. That sounded kind of like a porn title, so they changed it to HANCOCK...which could also be twisted to sound like a porn title if one was smutty enough (which, evidently, I am if I noticed this).
Not sure what's going on in these shots. I hadn't heard anything about Theron's character being a superhero in this film...so I don't know what she's doing hoisting up that bigass truck. Maybe it's a dream/imagination sequence or something?
The film is directed by Peter Berg (THE KINGDOM, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, THE RUNDOWN) and is co-written by Berg and John August (who is also scripting the new SHAZAM movie).
Anyway, here are the pics. Thanks a ton to KaNkeRhOnD Extraordinair for sending them in...we really appreciate it.

Not much else here.

Theron's still hot, especially in those heels.
-
Come on, someone had to say it.
-
And now, sixth.
-
The "Better Than First" Post of 2007.
OK... make that FOUR posts for the nomination. :P -
Not that I'm complaining.
-
Maybe she plays his nemesis is this flick? THAT would be cool IMO.
Although, I still think they've definitely got to deep six that HANCOCK title & either go back to it's original monicker or come up with something else. I'm sorry, but I really think that HANCOCK will illicit more bad porno movie puns than TONIGHT, HE COMES would've and/or make much of the general public assume it's a comedy. -
"AW HELL NAW"
-
Will this whole film be Handheld? Come on Berg! I love me some hand held camera but please don't overdue it!
-
Anyone read the script who can comment on it being great, good, ok, bad, incredible suckitude?
-
Isn't Hancock a comedy? I mean, the premise comes across as comedic, right?
-
I agree, is a very good thing indeed. For crying out loud, why can't SHE be cast in superhero franchise that requires the now standard Hollywood form-fitting leather costume and boots!

Will Smith is an alcoholic superhero with a PR crisis. That much I know. I'm pretty sure Jason Bateman plays his publicist who is charged with turning around his public image. And Theron is probably a mixture of love interest/nemesis with superpowers of her own. A friend of mine is working on it. I've heard only good things. They've shut down half of LA to shoot the thing. Will Smith as a superhero can only be a good thing, especially one with a refreshing take on the genre that introduces us to a new character rather than cast him as some second-rate Marvel hero that takes us through the same old origin story, etc. Love the interracial casting, if Smith and Theron do in fact hook up in the film, and Peter Berg is really coming into his own as a director, so keep your eye on this one. It's gonna be BIG.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. And I agree about Berg coming into his own. I'm REALLY interested to see what he will do with a superhero flick...
-
go digital!
oh well. -
he has shown a lot of growth and maturity. I know FNL was a pretty big success for him (I believe he got to direct in no small part because Bessinger is his...cousin? Some relation anyways) and The Kingdom looks good, he's really playing with the genre's here, black comedy, buddy comedy, sports drama, political thriller, superhero flick. He's turning into a real workhorse director.
-
what on earth is this movie aboot!?! This Flick Looks Like The Shitz
-
Can't believe I haven't heard about this yet.
-
Mr. Smith had no break between this and "I am Legend". Lets hope his diligence pays off in the form of something watchable.
-
this looks like that uma thurman superhero movie
-
Theron's character's name is Mr. F...if you digitally zoom in on her bracelet you can read it.
-
...So I hope this film is every bit as good as My Super Ex Girlfriend. If the set photos are any indication, it's well on the way.

Bateman andd Theron are actually husband and wife in the flick. Looks & sounds a bit odd to me, though i'm sure i'll see it.
-
"why can't SHE be cast in superhero franchise that requires the now standard Hollywood form-fitting leather costume and boots!" - she already was dude, in the hideous mess Aeon Flux.
-
nuff said
-
Yeah, that's never been done before you idiots.
-
i dont think she's that hot
-
and anyone giving any film crap based on a few pictures is..well.. jumping the shark....
