Even though Hancock was panned by just about every critic (and most of my viewers), Hancock still managed to pull in a whopping $624 million.  So what does that mean?  Hancock 2 is on it’s way.

Director Peter Berg said at the Toronto Film Festival: “Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel.”

Berg said Will Smith and Charlize Theron would reprise their roles as immortal gods who lose their powers when in each other’s presence.

Although the script is not completed, Berg said the film would feature the lead characters pairing up to defeat a common enemy.

It is also expected to explore the 3,000-year-old world they’re from, which was only hinted at in the first film.

Jason Bateman will return as the PR executive who is married to Theron’s character and transforms Smith’s anti-superhero image.

The August issue of DETAILS hits stands next week, featuring the loveable Jason Bateman on the cover. He opens up to DETAILS about overcoming drug use and resurrecting his career. Please be sure to show cover and link to our story if you run something online.

On stopping his drug use:

“Booze was what would make me want to stay out all night and do some blow or smoke a joint or whatever, so shutting that off was key. It’s like ketchup and French fries – I don’t want one without the other. So that’s the moment: Do you want to continue to be great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?”

On his partying ways:

“It was like Risky Business for 10 years. My parents were out of town, they left me a bunch of money, the car, and the house, and I didn’t know when they were coming home. I’d worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well.”

Jennifer Aniston on Bateman:

“Even though he was pretty wild in those days, something about those dimples and that sweet face made you go, ‘Oh, it’s okay that you just drove up the street backwards in a Range Rover with the door wide open.’ I don’t know what was happening there. You feel instantly safe in his company.”

I’m so excited to see this movie! I’m seeing it on Saturday (which is also my birthday!).  Let’s not talk about how old I’ll be.  We’ll call it 25 and be good.
