Due for release this summer from Magnolia Pictures, Special is a superhero spoof starring New York veteran actor Michael Rapaport (True Romance, The War at Home) about a parking lot cop who is prescribed antidepressants and begins to believe and act like he has super powers.

The film, the debut of writer/director team Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore, has garnered solid buzz online thus far and Rapaport recently told MTV that a sequel has been discussed. The trailer below walks the edge of being a goofy comedy and offering dark commentary on mental illness, which seems to represent the film well judging by reviews. Have any of our UK readers seen Special, where it was released late last year and just hit DVD?

Special starring Michael Rapaport, Josh Peck (Drillbit Taylor, The Wackness) and Paul Blackthorne (24, Lipstick Jungle) is tentatively scheduled for released stateside in June 2008.

    Yep i have seen this.
    Tis quite good, has a lot of moments of comedy but is quite serious about illness.

    It’s actually a really sad movie. It’s very good though, completely worth a watch. I loved it!

    “Have any of our UK readers seen Special, where it was released late last year and just hit DVD?” — wow, I didn’t realise this. I kept trying to work out when it was coming out, but looks like my cinema didn’t get it. Cheap on DVD, so I’ve just ordered it. Looking forward to this from both the comedy and seriousness.

    Hmmm.. I dunno. Cant say the trailer made me laugh….

    but fanboy d is right, it looks a hell of a lot better than HANCOCK and SUPERHERO MOVIE.

    Since its out in the uk already, there should be a torrent kicking around.

    Have seen, ’tis fantastic. Oh, and the main bad guy is Harry Dresden from Dresden Files. He’s great. Rapaport is amazing in this.

    Yeah I saw it at the Austin Film Festival and it was for sure the best movie I saw there and possibly my favorite film of 2006. I bought it on DVD from the UK but I totally forgot that all there Dvd players aren’t like our DVD players and now it only works on like one DVD player I’ve ever put it in, which is fine, cause I watched it on that DVD player. But I digress, this movie rules. Go see it.
