Film School Rejects: Hancock vs. Tonight, He Comes: What Is, What Was, & What Will Smith Could Have Been

  • Robert Fure · 1 year ago
    Sounds like I would absolutely love "Tonight, He comes." Maybe one day it will come out as a graphic novel or something.

    Below is page 125, taken from another copy that's making the rounds. I also have a later draft (also much different than the movie) if you would like to take a look, Rob.

    Here's the missing page:

    We pause - to let his soul cave in.

    Horus reaches for her hand. Holds it... till death do you part...

    MARY
    Horus...

    Horus leaps to his feet - stunned.

    MARY
    (continuing)
    Get me out of here.

    He digs into the heap, unearthing rocks. Roheim pitches in.

    There and beneath it all - Mary, wrapped in Hancock's CAPE, spared by this SUPER-apparel.

    Horus. Mary. A husband-wife embrace. Aaron, he comes running into their arms.

    Hancock beholds this twist of fate. Then, he stares at his hands - the tears. The TEARS. A CHUCKLE as he tries to fathom this event.

    And another chuckle.

    It's quiet all of a sudden. The rain - it has stopped. Morning dawns on this new day.

    Hancock rises from his stoop. Gathers his faculties. He walks over - rejuvenated. Horus rises in defensive posture to greet him.

    They stare at one another.

    Hancock fixes his gaze at Mary. A beat.

    Mary moves to him. Hands him his CAPE. She says...

    MARY
    Thank you.

    He takes it. Examines it, like a man rediscovering some forgotten dream.

    Hancock fastens it back - silent. He turns... and fades into blue sky.

    Yeah, I've read that one with page 125 included, except that mine had page 98 missing -the one where Hancock kills the hoodlum- I really liked the script and it's really a shame nobody had the cojones to go that route, but as much as I want to, I can't really blame them for that.

    Radek, you say you have another draft, is there chance I can give it a look?

    @ Radek, Thank you! I'd checked a few online sources and they were all missing the same page. Couldn't fathom how Mary survived... forgot about the damn cape! I'd love to take a look at the later draft you have. Is there a link to it, or can you send it to my fsr email? rob@filmschoolrejects.com

    Thanks again!

    Rob, thanks for the article, I have been crazy with curiosity, as to what could have been. Sounds like the script deserves publishing.
  • Radek · 1 year ago
    Rob,

    Did you get my e-mail?
  • Rob Hunter · 1 year ago
    @ Radek, I did get it. Reading it today... thanks again!
  • Jim · 1 year ago
    Hey Radek,

    If you don't mind, could you send the draft with page 125 and the later draft of the screenplay to me as well? Thanks!

    Hi I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could send me any copy of the "Tonight, he comes" script, I would have loved to have it as a film but I'll take it as a script anyday!!
