Hancock

Hancock is a 2008 American superhero comedy film starring Will Smith as an alcoholic, reckless superhero. The film is directed by Peter Berg based on a screenplay by Vince Gilligan and Vy Vincent Ngo. The film also stars Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. The story was originally written by Vy Vincent Ngo in 1996. It languished in development hell for years with various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann (who would later co-produce the film), Jonathan Mostow and Gabriele Muccino, before being filmed in 2007 in Los Angeles with a production budget of $150 million. In the United States, the film was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America after changes were made at their request in order to avoid an R rating, which it had received twice before. Columbia Pictures released the film in theaters in the United States on July 2, 2008. Hancock received mixed reviews from critics, who found it promising but ruined by the story and how it was carried out. It grossed $629.4 million worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2008.

...represents a personal record... ...for the notoriously publicity-shy Hancock... ...who, as usual, can't be reached for comment. With all the cracks to the concrete, all the bullets, water damage, fires... ...L.A. would be better off if this guy would leave... ...and let us get on with our jobs.

She crashed her car up in Malibu when you flew her to the hospital. Remember? I will break my foot off in your ass, woman.
