Hancock 2 Planned

By Josh Tyler: 2008-07-02 13:51:57
Hancock 2 Planned Hancock hits theaters this weekend and even though it’s getting the kind of bad reviews critics usually reserve for M. Night Shyamalan movies, unlike The Happening it’s sure to be a huge box office success. It’s Will Smith, July 4th weekend, and superheroes. Everyone who sees it may hate themselves in the morning, but everyone will see it.

So maybe it’s no surprise to learn that there are already plans for a sequel. One of our most reliable, secret sources dropped me an email this morning to clue us in on Sony’s plans for a followup. Whether those plans get put into motion depends of course, on how much Hancock actually makes, but behind the scenes things are already in motion for Hancock 2. There’s one big thing in the way though, and it’s not how much the current movie sucks. It’s that Will Smith knows it sucks, and may not want in on the second one.

Our source says that Will Smith does not like the finished, first film and the only way he’ll agree to do a second one is if they throw out everything from the first, give it a complete makeover, and hand over more control to him. Normally I get a little jumpy whenever Will Smith starts interfering in the filmmaking, we don’t need another I, Robot, but in this case… it can’t possibly be any worse. It’s nice to know that if they do foist a sequel on us, there’s a chance that they’ll fix at least some of the really weird problems with the first one.

For now, it's all rumor. Our source is a good one, but these things have a way of changing fast. Sony's plans are in motion, and we'll see where Hancock's box office this weekend takes them.

  • So roughly 2 out of around 36 comments, one of which was the Critic were about how Hancock was bad. So just to make sure we understand this statement. 34 ppl thought the movie was good or better. Though this is only one page in many I will add these comments mentally to the ones of all the ppl I know who have seen the movie and they have all told me the movie was GREAT, mind u I dont know every1 in the world who has seen this movie and will not account for them. My point is the critics feelings and Cas who didnt really say it was horrible, where are all the bad comments about the film at? To tell u the truth this is the first I have heard of this movie being bad. I for one thought it was Great as IRobot was Great, in fact the only movie I saw Will Smith in that I DEEPLY feel SUCKED was the one Western thingie. Now that movie sucked eggs big time!
  • I just finished watching this movie and I have to say that this could be one of my favorite movies this year. I don't care to listen to movie critics lately since they really don't have any imagination, so I gave this movie two "heads up the ass" (lol). The story line is very different from any super hero movie because it is NOT a super hero movie at all. There was no radioactive bug, horrifying murder turned to vengence, or some space dust giving this movie it's main character. The main thing I thought could have made the movie better was splitting it into two movies. Seemed like the writer spliced two stories together and made a mega blockbuster when he could have had two. Other than that I enjoyed every moment, was pulled into the characters, and recommend this to anyone that wants to break from the boring comic book movies. The second one better be just as good and I will be the first in line to see it even if will smith takes lead.
  • In my opinion both I, Robot & Hancock- and many other movies made are better than most if any critics could write if they had a chance-
    I also liked 'Snakes in a Plane', Formula 51", 'Dare Devil', all the Aliens/Predators and Lethal Weapons and Die Hard movies as well as War of the World, and the first 2 Mission Impossible flicks, even though I thought any actor could have played Tom Cruises parts .
    Too bad Tom Cruise went mad, he had talent.
    Critics are just people that can comment on things they can't do, I will admit some movies suck but are sometimes fun to watch because they are bad.
    Critics need to remember they are writing about imagined civilizations, people and cartoons.
    Movies are for escape of the reality of life., get a life and help those that need it. Anybody can donate cash, but to donate your time, sweat, and tears is meaningful.
    I say if people want meaning in their lives -go volunteer in a needy community-help the poor, feed the sick, comfort those near death, teach the uneducated a carreer..
    I think Hancock needs a sequel, and so does my grandsons and granddaughter
  • I, Robot was actually one of the best movies made recently, especially in the sci-fi genre. If that is the result of Will Smith interfering, then I say: more of it!
  • I liked Hancock and the movie definitely didnt suck. I can't wait to see sequel.
  • Personally I hope for a sequel there is so much to go off of.

    Now in the movie it does say that God built them to protect people, and that they had immortality if they stayed away from their pairs.

    I think it would be interesting to see a sequel in witch a new pair arrives that are evil, or one of them is evil and kills the other so he will have his immortality forever, or one of the legendary Greek Gods, although that might be a little cliche and over used, Poseidon, Hercules (Hercules as a villain hasn't been used too much but it would be interesting.

  • Well firstly, nobody said God made them. They're just like any other part of nature, it's open to interpretation, the part about God was a metaphor for their role in life to protect people.
    Secondly i don't understand all the hate on this movie, and it did change the way i think about things.
    I personally thought it was one of the best superhero movies ever made, and i didn't feel like anything went unanswered.

    And considering the original concept was him going to jail for having sex with an underage girl, i think it was brilliantly made into a family friendly movie without being too cheesy. It really would have made me feel alot less about the relationship between him and the other girl.

    I am Legend sucked, but this was amazing and unpredictable right through til the end.
    I'd like to see a sequel
  • really good movie, will smith did a great job!! would really like to see a hancock 2!! by the way if you read the comments people put dont listen to all the bad stuff just go see it for yourself..
  • The critic is over-dramatizing how bad this movie was. I completely disagree, in my opinion Hancock was probably the best Super-hero movie to come out next to Spider-man 1 and Iron-man. Seriously it was really nice to see a Super-hero that does not hide behind a mask and see how he would fit in society.
  • Was a great movie... critics, always complaining about things. Will Smith made it great and it was a different story. Love to see part 2.
  • Well,
    I read you review, You made Hancock sound like it was a disaster, Like a really horrible movie.
    Well, yeah, I admit I liked it. Even, It was AWESOME!
    I mean,
    It had Action, Comedy and even Drama.... I don't get why you left such a horrible review about it.

    I mean, Yeah.... I guess there were a few part's that were just OK, But the rest was great :]

    I personally HOPE for a sequel and I really hope they WONT make a complete makeover.

    In my opinion, Will Smith really had his role there, Great job playing Hancock, MUCH better then the latest movie, I am legend....
  • I really really enjoyed hancock i thought it was awesome! I went to see it with loads of friends and they all agreed it was top notch too! i also really like the story line, i didnt think that there was anything wrong with it. It made me laugh so much and knowing that hancock 2 may come out just makes me ever so happy. I am definatly going to buy the DVD and i think that Hancock is one of the best films that i have ever seen! No need to worry you guys at the set! Im sure that whatever you do it'll be absolutly amazing!
  • ye i agree with Katie finally something different to a superhero story but dont get me wrong suphero movies like batman and spiderman were not halfbad but this is differnt and i loved it. I loved the ending kinda touching like the guy jst found the love he was looking for then he had to let it go.

    And yes i would definatley go see a sequel. But will smith has to be in it, i dont care if he takes control.
  • yea i really hope there will be a second hancock
  • This movie was absolutley fantastic it's finally something different- not the usual SuperHero movie.

    && They got to make a second one because there was so many questions that needed to be filled in. & Personally i don't believe that was Will Smith's words on how the movie sucked, i find that all bull crap.
  • Hancock was a darn good movie, there should definately be a part 2!!!! Thumbs up
  • I cannot understand why this movie is getting such a bad rap. I went and watched it this weekend and I absolutely loved it. Movie critics and most people are taking the whole movie watching experience way too seriously...movies in general are supposed to be able to convey a story, entertain its audience and act as a form of "escapism." I'm not saying this movie is our generation's next great masterpiece, but it is extremely enjoyable and covers all the above mentioned criteria. People, and critics alike, need to get off of their high horse and accept this movie for what it is...an enjoyable trip through fantasy land with Will Smith as one hell of a tour guide :)

    PS: I cannot wait for the sequel.
  • This movie was...decent. I generally enjoy Will Smith, he has a realness to him that can get me into most movies. I went into Hancock expecting it to be amazing and so, of course, I was let down. But aside from the fact that it left a couple things open with little or no explanation, I generally enjoyed the movie. I recommend that you should at least see it, but it might be more of a "wait for the video" type of thing.
    As far a a Sequel goes, I would see it. Maybe.
  • When its summertime plain and simple It's Will Smith's time.... the guy just makes good movies i mean movies everybody can enjoy.. dont get me wrong there are a few weak links in his career but very few.. what actor or actress doesnt have duds....? We all enjoy Will as an actor/entertainer nobody can say they dont... and critics are just that critics every single movie tot hem has to be outstanding and up to what they want but in reality they're just like us (movie goers..... people who love movies) so we should all be critics right...? Case closed descusion over..... Hancock was a great movie and a sequal would be great....
  • I have just came bk from the movies and Hancock is shit hot , its 10 times better than i am legend and why are reviews sayin that this movie sucks ? have they watched it lol ? yes there are sum kinda werid things like god made thm and whn oppisites get close they start to turn human to live normal lifes but i dnt see why ppl are bitching about tht ?
  • Who says it sucks..how does $107 Million dollars reflect "it sucks"?..according to who...producers and fans of films that came in at #6, #8 , and #10 at the box office?
    I don't believe a word that Will Smith thinks it sucked.
    The only thing about waiting for a sequel is the year long time and lost momentum..Hancock fever that is happening now may not be the same 2 years later.
  • My girlfriend and I just saw Hancock and loved it. Yes there were losts of questions...but isn't that what a good movies does. They did it this way because you know a sequel is coming and we'll be going to see that too. To all the critics I would love to see them write an ending to the movie that they think is better. For those unsure of seeing hancock, go see the film with an open mind and you will love it. It has great action, comedy, and drama all in one film. It will also leave you asking lots of questions...but that is for Hancock 2 to answer.
  • I don't see where all these people are coming from calling this movie bad .. They took this movie to a realistic stand point for me personally .They showed a different view on a a super hero an didn't make it a typical super hero movie where the good guy defeats the villain and all is well .. They showed a super hero who was in pain an suffered from an addiction even though he is godly those are human attributes and characteristics . I feel as if hancock finding out about simple an reinventing self is very important to his character build up so if they decide to make a sequel they can go anywhere with this movie an thats what makes it great the fact that i don't know what to expect next ..
