Unheroic superhero appealed to 'Hancock' director Peter Berg (Miami Herald)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:16:00 GMT

"I loved the idea of an alcoholic, nihilistic, subversive superhero, fighting crime drunk," says Peter Berg about "Hancock" - a screenplay that's been kicking around Hollywood for a dozen years or so, and that had, at various points, Michael Mann and Tony Scott among the folks attached to direct.

It’s eerily reminiscent of what’s been happening over the FISA bill trying to being ramrodded down our throats by Bush and Congress. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but there’s something much deeper and far more sinister at work [...]

...always have, always will. I saw the Tarantino-scripted, Tony-Scott-directed True Romance twice in theatres, but was one of the few to do so, as the movie made a paltry $11.5 million during its initial release. But it became a cult success on video, especially once Pulp Fiction made Tarantino a household name, and Maxim has gathered the cast and filmmakers for a 15th anniversary testimonial...
