Plot Summary: There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but 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. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think – until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet – and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause.

Scoop Feedback:

 

 



April 7, 2003... Director Michael Mann (THE INSIDER, HEAT) will helm TONIGHT, HE COMES for Artisan Pictures. The superhero-themed project was written by Vincent Ngo and will be produced by Akiva Goldsman, the writer behind BATMAN AND ROBIN and A BEAUTIFUL MIND. Ngo originally wrote the script six years ago and by the time Goldsman got involved with it last summer, he couldn't believe it hadn't been turned into a movie yet.



Mann's involvement is a major leap forward in the project's development. Little is known about the story except that it involves a fallen superhero who is befriended by a 12-year-old boy, and that the costumed hero falls for a surburban housewife. It sounds like it may be more in the vein of UNBREAKABLE rather than SUPERMAN.



Filming is scheduled to commence next year. [Source: Variety.]

December 1, 2005... Columbia Pictures has signed Will Smith to star in TONIGHT, HE COMES. The studio also signed Jonathan Mostow to direct. The script is written by Vince Gilligan, based on Vincent Ngo's screenplay. [Variety.]

The idea sounds interesting. It depends on how they do it. I'll likely go see the movie and support Will.
