    Super-Short-Poster-Rainn-Wilson-29-7-10-kc.jpg

    This got some great press at ComicCon and the trailer that aired there was meant to be fantastic. Snippets of the panel below:

    Who would win in a fight - Dwight or Mal?

    It's got a cracking cast (including Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillion) and is directed by James Gunn (who wrote and directed the hugely under-rated 'Slither').

    Rumours are it hasn't been picked up by a distributor as of yet.. so might wind up going straight to DVD.

    Synopsis and IMDb page below:
    After his wife falls under the influence of a drug dealer, an everyday guy transforms himself into Crimson Bolt, a superhero with the best intentions, though he lacks for heroic skills.

    Must keep an eye out for this-Fillion is underrated imo,very good in Slither and Serenity/Firefly.
    Could be a good run for him if he gets the gig for the Uncharted movie.

    Sounds very much like Defendor....which was a pretty good film imo. Seems like alot of "realistic" superhero stuff is out or coming out, Kick-Ass, The Cape, Mystery Men etc.

    listening to the Film Junk podcast (www.filmjunk.com) some time ago, the guys reviewed this after seeing it at Toronto Film Festival if i remember correctly, it got good reviews, quite a dark movie overall, i'm looking forward to seeing it some day soon hopefully!

    Looks very funny. Hope it doesn't get overlooked due to similarities with KickAss.

    It reminds me more of Defendor....i don't trust that trailer to reflect the movie or tone.

    I'd imagine it's a very accurate reflection of the tone of the film.

    I also think that the tone mixed with the concept makes it's unlike anything else.

    Looks a bit darker and more set in the "real" world than Kick-Ass.

    I saw this last night at Sci-Fi London and really enjoyed it. Funny, nasty, vicious and for the most part uncompromising, this is well worth checking out. Have a look at the awesome opening sequence if you don't believe me.

    My only disappointment with it was that
    for most of the film, Frank is presented as a possibly-schizophrenic misfit whose actions have repercussions - but at the very end of the film, there are no consequences for him. None of Libby's friends link him to her sudden disappearance, nobody seems to have investigated the police officer's death, and it's all a bit too neatly tied up.

    All in all, definitely worth watching if you want a slightly different take on the superhero genre.
