More info on another of Ellen’s new project, Super have been released. The movie will be filmed next month in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The movie is titled Super, and Wilson leads as Frank D’Arbo, aka Crimson Bolt, a lost man who takes on the mantle when he finds his wife cheating on him. Super belongs to the newly popular “real-world losers who become superheroes” sub-genre, aka Kick-Ass, so expect it to be high on references to Superman, Spider-Man, etc.
James Gunn, the writer/director described the movie as a “dark, comedic, gritty, very unusual, and grounded film”.Kevin Bacon is the drug-dealing villain of the piece but he hasn’t got any evil scheme to take over the world, or anything like that. He is the villain for no other reason than he slept with our lead’s wife, the catalyst event that sends D’Arbo on a new path to find justice, armed only with a pipe wrench. In this movie, our hero can’t fly, walk through walls or throw fists of super-human strength
Playing the role of D’Arbo’s wife, and no wonder Bacon couldn’t help himself, is Liv Tyler.
Also in the cast is Ellen Page, as the slightly eccentric clerk at the local comic book store who is desperate to become Rainn’s sidekick avenger.
