‘Hancock’ – New Action Packed Trailer

If there was anyone that should’ve donned a super suit by now, it should be Mr. Will Smith. But of course, you can trust the man with the biggest personality in Hollywood to break from the usual conventions of the comic book hero in the new film ‘Hancock‘.

Breaking from the usual ‘super’ routine, ‘Hancock’ sees Smith as a washed up superhero who is hated by the public for his failed ‘rescue attempts’ and destruction of the city. It’s only when he saves a PR agent (Jason Bateman) that an effort is to get Hancock back in the city’s good books – a job that becomes even harder when he finds himself attracted to the wife of his new acquaintance.

With only the new teaser to go on this new trailer doesn’t disappoint either. As well as showing a washed up Will Smith with superpowers we also get a glimpse into what leads the city that originally turned their back on Hancock, to finally embrace the heroic hobo.

Hugh Jackman And Marc Guggenheim Create ‘Nowhere Man’

Hugh Jackman may be known for his Wolverine character–which he is currently shooting–but it seems that he’s branching out and creating a new comic as well. Hugh will team with showrunner Marc Guggenheim (“Eli Stone”) and Virgin Comics to bring a new comic series called Nowhere Man to shelves near you. The plan is also to adapt it into a movie with Jackman set to lead.The trade reports the story being kept under wraps, but Jackson’s Seed Productions partner John Palermo said it features a protagonist reminiscent of the one Will Smith played in I Am Legend. The concept is a futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety, a premise that sprouted with Seed, Virgin CEO Sharad Devarajan and chief creative officer Gotham Chopra.

Palermo:

This is our first comic, and we feel the concept is transferable to other arenas, perhaps first as a video game, and then a movie

Jackman:

I’ve had so much fun in the graphic novel world with the ‘X-Men’ franchise that I wanted to get even more involved. I’m excited to work with Virgin and Marc and create a compelling character and story that hopefully will also make it to the big screen.

Infidelity and failed marriages in Hollywood are common but Pinkett tells “Extra” that she is not insecure in her own relationship. “Will doesn’t behave the way he does for me.
