Will Smith is Hancock

There are heroes, there are superheroes, and then there's Hancock. With great power comes great responsibility - everyone knows that, except Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough - as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy.

A superhero comedy starring Will Smith as Hancock, a down-and-out superhero who is bulletproof, possesses superhuman strength, and the power of supersonic flight.
Also stars Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman.
Directed by: Peter Berg.
Release Date: 3rd July 2008



I don't know about you but I'll be waiting to catch Hancock on the big screen. Will is the first black man who has caught my attention, seriously, the second being Denzel Washington, the third is Barack Obama. Ok ok.. enough of the good looking guys.. :-P Here's what you would want to know about Will Smith (as if you don't already know :-P)


Willard Christopher "Will" Smith, Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor and rapper. He is one of a small group of people who have enjoyed success in three major entertainment media in the United States. Newsweek has called him the most powerful actor on the planet. Smith has been nominated for a Golden Globe, two Academy Awards, and has won multiple Grammys.


Will Smith rose to fame as a rapper under the name the Fresh Prince in the late 1980s. Smith's most notable television role was that of William "Will" Smith (his namesake role) in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In his film work, his notable roles include Agent J in Men in Black and Men in Black II, Detective Del Spooner in I, Robot, Muhammad Ali in Ali, as well as his role in the blockbuster Independence Day and more recently as Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness with his son Jaden Smith and as Robert Neville in I Am Legend with his daughter Willow Smith.


He is also one of only three actors in the history of film to have seven consecutive US$100 million blockbusters, the two other being Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

Hancock looks like interesting spin on the latest superhero movie craze... if nothing else at least Will Smith tends to be pretty funny
