| Hancock is a 2008 superhero film starring Will Smith as John Hancock. Despite being a [[https://Superheromoviespot.com/|superhero movie games walkthroughs|https://Superheromoviespot.com/]], Hancock could care less about the damage he causes in the city as long as he catches the criminals he's after. But after he saves Ray (Jason Bateman) the two work together to help his public image and turn him into a real h | There's been much talk about a sequel to the 2008 surprise [[https://Superheromoviespot.com/|Superhero Movie Games DLC|Https://Superheromoviespot.Com/]] hit, Hancock , with conversation picking up particularly when it comes to the cast of Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman possibly returning to do another. Director Peter Berg said a few months ago that everyone was excited to return , but not long after that Bateman came out and said he hadn't heard anything about him returning (we're still not sure if that cluelessness was applicable to Smith and Theron, t |

| I'm surprised that the "ultimate" cut only runs 15 minutes longer than the director's cut. Is the stand-alone version of Tales of The Black Freighter that is being released on March 24, 2009 , going to feature scenes that WON'T be included in the "ultimate cut" Watchmen DVD/Blu-ray? It certainly seems like it. Damn, that means I'll have to watch Tales of The Black Freighter if I want to get the whole Watchmen experience. Slick move, Warner Bros. Slick move indee | Will Smith plays, of course, the title character: an apparently homeless alcoholic who just happens to have super-powers. When we meet him he's sleeping on a bench, cradling a bottle of whiskey - a young boy tries to wake him up because there's a freeway chase happening in which the bad guys are causing huge havoc and shooting at civilians indiscriminately. Hancock is none to eager to help, and the boy ends up calling him an A-hole, except not abbreviated. It's a term that is used over and over and over in the f |

Covering the Con is always a whirlwind, but at least this year (my second covering it) I felt like a was a bit more in cont | What knocked the score down? The villain of the film comes out of nowhere, barely gets any screen time and just doesn't even seem like they're a part of the movie - so it was kind of non-sequiter. I won't get into spoilers, but considering what the villain knows about Hancock, how this person figured they'd be able to actually kill him is beyond |

| "Unfortunately, I've found in my video game experience that the big companies are just as conservative as the studios. I was disappointed with the first Hellboy game. I'm very impressed with the sandbox of Grand Theft Auto. You can get lost in that world. But we're using it just to shoot people and run over old ladies. We could be doing so much more.... In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games... I'll be trying to make it. But I won't be trying until after The Hobb | Seriously though, I feel like this is all a vile bit of strategy to help Fox have a better $ummer at the multiplex in 2009. Think about it: if Watchmen gets knocked off the '09 lineup, it leaves the comic book lane wide open for Fox's own properties, most notably X-Men Origins: Wolverine . The simple truth is that Fox has reason to be scared: since the first trailer premiered , then the fan fervor at this year's Comic-Con , and now acclaimed directors like Kevin Smith spouting gospel about how freakin good Watchmen truly is , the movie has been blown-up as one the most highly anticipated releases of 2009. (Even the original graphic novel has started flying off shelv |

| I know we missed a lot, but it was just myself and Bruce Simmons on the beat, as opposed to most of my online movie friends who seemed to each have their own entourage of minions (you know I mean that affectionately, guys) to help them cover far more than we could. At least as a bonus Bruce turned out to be a photography buff and we were able to provide you with a few pictures of this year's event. Actually I think he still has a couple hundred in his camera that didn't managed to make it onto the ser | When asked about whether Hancock 2 would be his next film AFTER Battleship , Berg said he wants to do Lone Survivor , which tells the tale of, "17 seals that were killed in one gunfight in Afghanistan. One survived." But what about after that? Well, Berg didn't say, but hasn't ruled out a sequel to his action-adventure, The Rundown . He's not sure why there hasn't already been plans put in place to do The Rundown 2 , but said he'd definitely be up for doing anot |

| Although some of the awards are truly suspect (how the hell The Spirit got nominated for ANYTHING is beyond me), I still like the overall celebration of the type of sci-fi, fantasy, comic book and horror films we here at Screen Rant revel in :) Although I won't go into a specific rundown of who I think should win, I'd like to throw my opinion in the ring for a few of t | When Kick-Ass eventually does get a release, it'll be interesting to see how it does at the box office. Much in the same way as Watchmen , this isn't a well known property outside the "comic book geek" world, and like Watchmen it's very violent. By now we know how (not) great Watchmen did at the box office ; however Wanted (another little-known comic book adapted into a violent movie) was a surprise hit at the box office, so who kn |

| Also, nobody mentioned it in the Collider interview, but what about the Hollis Mason documentary Under The Hood ? It's going to be featured on the Black Freighter DVD/Blu-ray but it looks like it's not going to be spliced into the "ultimate cut" of Watchmen . That's kind of a drag: seeing Under The Hood mixed in with the theatrical film was something I was kinda looking forward to--even more than the Black Freighter scene | "To get us all in the same room where we can talk and then agree on anything?

| In 2001 Universal took a shot at making the film with Darren Aronofsky ( Requiem for a Dream ) as director with Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin producing a script written by David Hayter ( X-Men, X-Men 2 ). What killed THAT deal was the fact the Universal Studios did not want to entrust such a huge production to Hayter, who wanted to direct the film with Gordon's bless | He tries to convince Hancock that in order to be really effective, that people have to love him - in fact they should love him since he fights crime and saves lives.
