MUMBAI: Columbia has hired Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to pen the sequel to the Will Smith superhero movie Hancock that grossed $624 million worldwide last year.
Though the plot details have been kept under wraps, the scribes will work with Smith and director Peter Berg to build on the story.
The original starred Smith as a boozy, irresponsible superhero who undergoes an image makeover by a public relations man. It is later revealed that the hero is part of a line of immortal beings who have been around for more than 3,000 years and begin to lose their powers when in proximity to fellow immortals.
Hancock, originally titled Tonight He Comes took more than 12 years to make it to the screen. But the sequel will be on a faster track.
