Before Vince Gilligan went off to tell a story about a high school chemistry teacher that gets cancer and turns to cooking and selling meth to pay for his treatment, he was working on the screenplay to Will Smith's Hancock. At that time, the script was known as Tonight He Comes and was about: "a superhero alcoholic who could not make love because if he climaxed, he would kill a woman with the power of his climax." That version was described as "dark" and "twisted." Clearly, we didn't get to see that version in Peter Berg's Hancock, but we can take a glimpse of it with storyboards that were created by storyboard artist Peter Rubin.

"In the original version, Bateman's character tries to set Hancock up with a new, do-gooder, Superman-like image, and debuts it at a big fundraising event with giant corporate sponsors and name music acts. This is the scene in which he discovers he's losing his powers because he had sex with Charlize Theron." - Peter Rubin

Storyboards by Peter Rubin (via Film Sketchr)






































Will Smith (he Pursuit of Happyness) stars in this action-packed comedy as Hancock, a sarcastic, hard-living and misunderstood superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public. When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past.

I enjoy this, it's an interesting take on the reality of what a superhero would be. Something I loved about Hancock, and I would have loved to see more of. Vince did a great job on this.

The story they don't tell. Missed opportunity

Why does there have to be product placement in even the storyboards?

So the whole idea was to rip off a throwaway conversation from Mallrats, and make an entire movie out of it?

Having said that, I quite enjoyed the movie. Yes, it fell apart in the second act, but I still liked it on the whole.. In the extended Blu-Ray they actually put the scenes of him getting his end away back into the start of the movie.. It's kinda endearing and tragic as much as it's funny..

Its time we got ourselves a real XXX cbm. It would be hilarious to see a guy going around giving these hoes the super sperm treatment and them dying from the sheer force and capacity of his orgasm. It sounds like horror porn. lol.
