Big summer premieres always draw a large crowd on Hollywood Blvd. Monday night was no different for Will Smith's Hancock premiere. Stars Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman walked the red carpet through piles of toppled cop cars and taxi cabs with their respective significant others. Casts from the past Tatyana Ali, Queen Latifah (in a sick pair of Nike Women's Dunks), Amanda Peet, Virginia Madsen and so many more showed their support for yet another super hero movie this year.

Jada Pinkett Smith looked stunning in a green dress with bright blue Indian-style earrings.

Right when I was zipping my camera bag shut Will, Charlize and Jason walked all the way back down the carpet for a group shot, but all in all, it was a great day for summer premieres -- especially since most celebrities don't want to come out to their friend's openings any more.
