Will Smith and Charlize Theron Steam Up Hancock Set

In Hancock, a movie scheduled to be released in July of next year, Will Smith plays the role of a down on his luck superhero that the public has turned against for various reasons.

Joining the ranks of politicians, entertainers, and CEOs, it now appears that superheroes can also benefit from a little media manipulation.

What makes this story unique and engaging is that the superhero makes several questionable decisions when faced with ethical issues.

The plot is given a nice jolt of adrenalin when Smith’s character chooses to involve himself in a sexual relationship with the wife (Charlize Theron) of the head of the PR firm he just hired to fix his image. Not always the best decision to mix business with pleasure, and the ramification of thinking with the wrong head in this situation creates a story line that is fun to follow.

While Hancock is not scheduled for release until next year, it is already generating a lot of Hollywood buzz from some recent pictures that captured Will with Charlize filming some steamy scenes. It will surely be interesting to see what other secrets Hancock is hiding.

Enjoy the pictures of Charlize and Will on the set of Hancock (August 11).
