First Pics Of Hancock In Costume
Cine21 has the first images of Will Smith in full regalia in the upcoming comedy Hancock, in which he plays a superhero who's not so much reluctant as  aggressively incompetent. You can click here to see both pictures.

Now, two things strike us here. First, did someone just go and raid the X-Men movies' wardrobe, tear off the X's and throw on some gold piping? Also, when did Will Smith get so freakin' young? The guy's nearly forty for chrissakes, but he looks about 23 here.

Seriously though, it's a wonder Smith hasn't played a superhero before now. Even if his costume does make him look a bit like the dastardly twin of Evel Knievel (Evil Knievel?), he looks every inch the superhero and we're hoping that this movie delivers on the terrific trailer, which you should watch here if you haven't already seen it. We haven't seen a great action comedy in years. Probably since Men In Black.

young
I guess he is looking young on these pics, because for once he has shaved his beard...you don't see him often without a beard, or am I mistaken? ... Read More

That’s not the preferred nomenclature
Come on Holsy; 'Coloured People'.  Really?  Next you'll be saying 'Black don't Crack' and other such stereotypical nonsenses. I'm sure this film is going to be 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend's slightly less derranged cousin. ... Read More

Lovin the eagle emblin on the back!! Oh and i have always found that coloured people look alot younger than they really are, and thats a compliment before anyone shoots me down. Look at Denzel Washington. He could easily pass for about 10 years younger than he actually is!! ... Read More

I love the film, but that suit is terrible. This suits probably a joke in the movie anyway. He'll try it on, gives it a weird look and immediately ditches it. Thats what Will would do. ... Read More
