| Hancock (2008) storyboards by Peter Rubin |
The Will Smith superhero film Hancock was based on a "dark, twisted script" called "Tonight, He Comes." The final Hancock script was heavily rewritten by Vincent Gilligan who went through at least 10 rewrites. While many things didn't carry over to the final film we can see one scene that was never filmed thanks to storyboards Peter Rubin posted to his Facebook page.
Peter Rubin is a professional concept and storyboard artist who's worked on Hollywood projects like Man of Steel (2013), Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012) and the upcoming film Gage.

"In the original version, Bateman's character tries to set Hancock up with a new, do-gooder, Superman-like image, and debuts it at a big fundraising event with giant corporate sponsors and name music acts. This is the scene in which he discovers he's losing his powers because he had sex with Charlize Theron." - Peter Rubin

When Hancock grudgingly agrees to an extreme makeover from idealistic publicist Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman, Juno), his life and reputation rise from the ashes and all seems right again--until he meets a woman (2003 Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Best Actress, Monster) with similar powers to his and the key to his secret past."
