The long anticipated film SUPER from filmmaker James Gunn as been given a release date, 1st April 2011.
The film has played at a number of festivals to great fanfare and was bought by IFC at the last Toronto film fest. The film is simialr to that of KICK-ASS but slightly more grounded in reality as it features Rainn Wilson (THE OFFICE, JUNO) playing the Crimson Bolt a real life superhero that tries to help people in need. He is soon joined by a sidekick, Boltie, played by Ellen Page (also JUNO and other stuff). The Crimson Bolt aims to try and win back his wife that falls under the influence of a drug dealer (KEVIN BACON). Also in the film is Liv Tyler.
Below is a clip for the upcoming film which should hopefully have a UK release not long after the Americans.
