Quickie: Will Smith And Charlize Theron are confirmed for Hancock 2

Last week it was confirmed that Hancock 2 was a reality. This week, MTV is reporting that both Will Smith and Charlize Theron are in for the sequel. Director Peter Berg, and co-star Jason Bateman will also be back. Plot details are sketchy at best, but a third "super human" is in the works. To be honest, I enjoyed the first one and look forward to the sequel. Hopefully more time is put into the writing, but that's my wish for every sequel/prequel/remake/reboot!

Hancock 2 is a go... writers hired

Last week the director of Hancock, Peter Berg, gave us a solid hint that a sequel was coming. Today, the news has been announced that Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara have been hired to write the script. Both writers come from a background in TV. That was quick! Well, the first movie made so much money, we knew it was a matter of time before this would happen.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Berg has hinted of a possible third God getting into the mix. To be honest, that was what I liked least about the first movie. The idea of an alcoholic superhero that swears and destroys more than he saves, BRILLIANT! It was executed well by the director and actors, the script just needed work. So hopefully this go around they can do it right. Anyone up for a Hancock sequel?

Quickie: Hancock 2 coming soon?

joblo.com is reporting that Hancock 2 may be fast approaching us. The director Peter Berg was recently quoted as saying this:

[The studio would] like to fast-track it, but Will's busy, I'm pretty busy… We're excited to do one, but we want the script to be right and the movie to be right. We don't feel a burning imperative to go right back into it.

So what can we expect? A Summer of 2011 Hancock 2? Is everyone really ready for a sequel to the average original? To be honest with you, I enjoyed the first movie. Matt didn't like it at all, but we always Agree to Disagree ;-).

All the things people hated about it were true, but I didn't care. Yes the movie took itself too serious, yes the dialogue was crap, and yes there wasn't enough action. But it was still entertaining. Would Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron be ok with a sequel? Will Smith is the king of Fourth of July releases; so a July 1st, 2011 lands on a Friday, what's up now!? We'll have to wait and see.
