Gadling's resident pilot explains what life in the cockpit is like

New, Official 'Hancock' Photo



In a summer full of old and new superheroes, one guy has been kinda flying under the radar. The big film arriving this year for Fourth of July weekend doesn't involve any giant f**king robots and it's one we haven't heard much about. USA Today just posted a sneak peek at Hancock; the new Will Smith flick directed by the very talented Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom). Above you will see the brand new image that went along with their story which adds to the other bits and pieces floating around the net (check out our full Hancock gallery below). A bunch of set photos hit awhile back, there was a teaser trailer and a poster, but that's been about it as far as Hancock goes. It's sorta like the huge summer film no one is talking about.

Hancock follows a superhero who's fallen on hard times. As USA Today points out, "He hates his job, loves his booze and would be pulled over for flying under the influence -- if anyone could catch him after he has plowed through a building or traffic sign." Eventually, Hancock seeks help from a PR specialist (Jason Bateman), but in turn starts falling for his wife (Charlize Theron). The first trailer gave the film a very fun, comedic look, though I have a feeling there's definitely some larger, more serious issues going on inside this storyline (I remember the words "emotional affair" popping up one or two times late last year when Hancock was filming).

I really dig Berg, and Will Smith is always a comforting person to watch on screen, so I have good feelings about Hancock. I just wish they'd show us a tad more of it. Hancock hits theaters on July 2.
