Hancock fared pretty well at the box office even though it was met with mixed reviews, and by mixed I mean nobody really seemed to like the movie even though they were willing to shell out cash for it. Because of its lukewarm reception, I don’t imagine there are a ton of people out there who have been anxiously awaiting its DVD, but an unrated cut of the movie, which was rumored to have gone through several editing incarnations, just might be the thing to make Hancock just as successful on home theaters as he was in theaters.
The Will Smith super-hero movie comes crashing to DVD and Blu-ray on November 25th (he never could nail those landings). There will be quite a few incarnations for Hancock, from a single disc with either the theatrical or unrated cut, a two-disc special edition with both, and a Blu-ray edition. Obviously, bonus material varies based on the version you want to pick up.
There’s no word on what exactly will be unrated about the new cut of the film. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest it may not be anything special and certainly not the extended cut of the film (which would more likely be labeled a “director’s cut” or “extended version” or something). I know any alternate version of the film is technically “unrated” if it wasn’t submitted for review, but “uncut” always makes me think they’ve thrown in a few nude shots and called it a new version.
Here’s a look at the bonus material you’ll find on the different versions. We’ll bring you cover art and more details as we get them.
