The project has had various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Jonathan Mostow, and Gabriele Muccino. Hancock was originally intended to be filmed before I Am Legend, also starring Will Smith. Under Berg, Hancock was filmed in Los Angeles. The film is slated for release on July 2, 2008.

Cast
* Will Smith as John Hancock, a down-and-out superhero.[2] He is bulletproof, possesses superhuman strength and the power of super-sonic flight. He is also very sarcastic.[3]
* Jason Bateman as a corporate public relations consultant whose life is saved by Hancock. Bateman said, "[It] was a fun thing to play, a very idealistic guy that's trying to build up this suicidal, homeless alcoholic that then ends up hitting on my wife. It was a fun thing. To play the victim is funny."[4]
