Don’t Fandango your tickets for “Hancock 2” just yet.
Citing conflicts in his schedule, the schedule of star Will Smith and several of their collaborators, director Peter Berg says that production on the sequel has been delayed.
“It’s being written now and it’s an issue of everybody involved in ‘Hancock,'” Berg said of the movie’s development. “There are so many cooks in that particular kitchen that it’s so busy and Will [Smith] has kind of taken time off to be with his kids.”
“There are so many people involved in that, from Will to his partner James Lassiter to Akiva [Goldsman] to Michael Mann, myself and to get us all in the same room just like this where we can all talk and then agree on anything, you’ve never met a group of people that have a harder time agreeing on anything,” he continued. “It’s like the Israeli peace process times a thousand how tough it is to resolve.”
However, this doesn’t mean Berg doesn’t want to work on the sequel.
“I think it’ll happen,” said Berg. “We just have to kind of get in the same room for some consistency.”
I’m not looking forward to a Hancock sequel… I won’t be surprised to see this project fall apart.
When I saw Hancock I felt it was missing something, like there were some scenes missing or perhaps the original script was never all that to begin with. I don’t see Hancock 2 being worth the effort of making or watching.
