First Look: Hancock

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:30:00 -0800

Hancock, Peter Berg's directorial follow-up project to The Kingdom, stars Will Smith as a ragged modern-day superhero who has fallen out of the public's favor. When he hires a PR guy (Jason Bateman) to help clean up his public image, Hancock winds up falling for the man's wife (Charlize Theron).

This new teaser trailer for the movie - which opens July 2 - is a little bizarre, as drunk modern-day superheroes are wont to be, and not entirely interesting, but there are some funny bits. You can take a look and share your thoughts if you read more.
