Hancock Poster Now, if you're wondering where the BadMovie Gang has gone, they're just working on a very special treat. Now, in the UK, there is a contest involving the movie Hancock, where you could win a camcorder by playing a troubled superhero. Now, my character has a rather nfortunate ability, as you can tell by this script excerpt, which had to be deleted because no female wanted to do the part. I wonder why. But it gives you a sneak peek at what to expect out of our film. Enjoy.

INT. OUTSIDE APARTMENT

...and into the past, with Tom and his girlfriend, Molly.

TOM: I had a really nice evening tonight, Molly.

MOLLY: Me too.

They look around awkwardly and uncomfortably, waiting to pop the question they're too afraid to ask.

TOM: So... do you... want to...

MOLLY: Come in?

TOM (nervous smile): Yeah.

MOLLY: I'd love to.

TOM: Great. We could... uhh...

Tom suddenly starts panting and his nose starts twitching

MOLLY: You okay?

Tom sneezes in her face, the power of the sneeze knocking her to the floor. Tom looks aghast. Slime covers her face. Molly looks aghast and slowly touches it. She quickly brushes it off her face and runs off.

TOM: Molly, wait!

He goes to stop her, but he sneezes again into the floor. Groggily, he tries again but slips on the slime, falling to the floor.

TOM (narration): While I lay down there with a mild concussion, I thought I must be the most unlikely guy in the world. Three years later and I'm still thinking that.

Our film should be out sometime around or before July. You will believe a man can sneeze.

It sounds interesting and about wondering why no female would want to do the part is probably because most women either wouldn't want to be covered in slime or they're arrogant and they will only do a movie with someone more handsome or someone who is a famous celebrity or movie star.

Yeah, probably. I was asking a rhetorical question, though.

BTW, we've shot the replacement scene and it is probably even funnier than this scene. We've shot 80% of the footage and we're 40% through editing.
