I don't think we've said anything on the site here about Defendor, the new superhero film by actor turned director, Peter Stebbings. It stars Woody Harrelson as an ordinary guy who thinks he's a crime fighting supehero known as Defendor. He goes off in search of his arch nemesis, known as Captain Industry. He is befriended by a protsitute(with a heart of gold, I'm sure) played by Kat Dennings(Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist). The reason why we haven't said much about it is because the chances of the film getting a domestic release seem slim.
The independently financed film was turned down by nearly every major studio, mainly because it doesn't fit the traditional mold of a superhero movie. Pretty lame, right? This is why I hate Hollywood sometimes. But fortunately for Stebbings, the actors had faith, and eventually they scrounged up the funding but only after some significant delays. After premiering at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year, the US distribution rights were picked up by Sony and it is due to be released sometime this year. Although I expect it'll be sometime in the softer 1st quarter of 2010.
Anyway, the film now has an official theatrical poster(which I hope you didn't miss up top there). It's not much, but I'm sure there'll be bigger and better down the line.
