POSTER: HANCOCK

The biggest movie star on the planet is once again at the fore-front of the advertising for his next movie HANCOCK, and even though Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman star... I think the movie the promotional stuff will stay being a one man Will Smith show. Smith's character in next year's blockbuster doesn't seem all that likable from the trailer and I hope he isn't looked upon as being a drunken fool, rather than a superhero with some real issues. The opening of the trailer suggested more tongue-in-cheek than I would have liked as did the whole bit with the whale and the same goes for the tagline of the first poster image for the flick. Is this going to be more of a comedy than a serious superhero drama...

The Peter Berg (THE KINGDOM) directed movie opens on the first week of July and it should see Will Smith once again dominate the box office for that weekend. I'm predicting a number more akin with his usual standard fare, something around $50 million. As for the poster? Well it's ok for an early teaser, but it tells those who don't visit movie sites NOTHING about the movie. source - coming soon
