Hancock

I am pretty sure you fucked that quote up, but whatevers!

Anyway, what I am getting at is that I am not sure if the makers of the movie are trying to do something revolutionary here or just trying to make a fun movie that is slightly different from the norm and if you think about it is based roughly around "what would happen if Will Smith's bad-boy kind of action hero character was a superhero?"  I am trying to figure out if this is a Will Smith vehicle or if the idea was there before Will Smith was even thought of.  Is this an original screenplay or is it based on something?

De_El:
It's an original screenplay.

RobbieOC:
But for most people it won't matter if it's a Will Smith movie or something else. It's part of the whole "the artist is dead" idea. The original intent won't matter, it's the subtext. Superman was white and wasn't an alcoholic, but Hancock is black and is an alcoholic. It's not a school of thought I agree with completely, but there are a lot of people who follow it, regardless.

I think the movie looks quite good, after watching the official movie trailer. The effects look fine to me, and I've always been a fan of Will Smith and Jason Bateman, so it gets my vote on both of those fronts. I really think this could be a really great movie.

Boro_Bandito:
Ha, est, you bring up a good point. I think the movie really is meant to just be a fun-actiony type of thing, but yet it's also got plenty of stuff that can be read into for those that want to delve to those possibly unintentional depths. It's an Accidental Post-Modern Superhero movie! (which I personally thing is a sub-genre of the Western anyway, or just a sci-fi/fantasy hybrid of it)

LordNagash:
Looks interesting, though that whale would be very dead.
