Hancock's World Premiere Isn't Happening

Whoops. Things aren't looking too hot for Will Smith's latest film, Hancock. Just last week we heard about its struggles to lose an R rating, and now it seems that the movie's world premiere, scheduled for June 10 in Sydney, Australia isn't happening. Why? The film won't be ready. The $150 million dollar superhero flick is still in post-production, with reshootsbeing worked on as recently as a week ago. Instead, Hancock's work premiere will take place a week later in France, but at this point does anyone even care? Nothing I've seen of Hancock inspires confidence, and the only reason I'm contemplating seeing it is the rumor of a Quantum of Solace trailer. Is anyone out there remotely interested in Hancock?

Saw the trailer at the theatre, which is supposed to highlight some of the best scenes of the movie. Disappointing. Superheros are inspiring. Anti-heros are necessarily treacherous. Bumbling heros can be really funny. But arrogant, belligerent, dirty, smelly, snivling, homeless superheros -- well, they aren't the type you would want to emulate -- not much of a "hero" really, and aren't really "super" either. So much for the multiculturalist view that everything has equal worth.
