The jury's still out on James Gunn's indie hero flick, Super. Most people probably never saw his first jump into the genre, The Specials
, which was basically a poor man's version of The X-men
. It left a lot to be desired, let's put it that way. But I actually think Super has a shot at being really good, mainly because it doesn't appear to be pulling any punches as to just how weird and screwed up the story is. Plus it's hard not to love Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page. Speaking of Page, a new clip has been released for the film, featuring her as loyal sidekick "Boltie", tarting it up a little as she tries on her new costume. Page doesn't exactly have a lot to work with, but it's still kindof a sexy clip. "Inappopriate"? I think not.Super stars Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker, and Linda Cardellini. James Gunn directs, based on his own screenplay. The film is due to open in theaters on April 1st!
When sad-sack loser Frank (Rainn Wilson) sees his ex-addict wife (Liv Tyler) willingly snatched by a seductive drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), he finds himself bereft and wholly unable to cope. But, inspired shortly after by fictional man-made superheroes of lore, he decides to fight back under the guise of a DIY crimefighter, the Crimson Bolt. With a hand-made suit, a wrench, and a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Ellen Page), the Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife.
