  • 'Super' Trailer: "That's Inappropriate."

    Here is the trailer for James Gunn's weird and probably, as the quote suggests, very inappropriate super hero movie Super. Rainn Wilson looks like he is perfectly cast as a guy who creates a costumed alter-ego after his hot wife (Liv Tyler) dumps him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). Ellen Page is the young…

  • James Gunn's 'Super' Gets A Great New Poster

    James Gunn made his film Super, starring Rainn Wilson as an average guy who creates a costumed alter-ego after his wife (Liv Tyler) leaves him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), on a tiny budget and with a great deal of freedom. There's something appropriate about the story of a weird, homegrown 'superhero' becoming a…

  • Best Movies Of 2010 That You Probably Haven't Heard Of

    As the year comes to an end, anybody and everybody are posting their best of the year lists. Most of these lists contain variations of the same 15 or 20 films. To break the mold, some are even posting lists of the best films of the year that you probably haven't seen. I find that…

  • James Gunn's 'Super' Will Release On April 1, 2011

    Briefly: IFC Films snapped up James Gunn's film Super at the Toronto Film Festival, and now the picture has a release date. The dark, strange comedy will hit theaters on April 1, 2011. April Fool's Day may be a very appropriate release date for a film about a guy (Rainn Wilson) who becomes a low-rent…

  • See Rainn Wilson Exact A Little Street Justice In A Clip From 'Super'

    We don't yet have a trailer for James Gunn's  Super, but the Spike Awards proved to be good for something when the show broadcast one of the clips that was shown at Comic Con this past summer. This was the clip that got me immediately on board with the film. It shows Rainn Wilson's character…

    James Gunn Talks IFC's 'Super' Acquisition; First Clip Released

    Things are starting to look up at The Toronto International Film Festival. Before today, you could count the amount of films that had been picked up by studios on your hand. One of the lucky ones was Super, James Gunn's dark comedy about a misfit superhero. The film performed so well with audiences at its…

  • IFC Buys James Gunn's Super

    Super, which played like gangbusters at its Midnight Madness premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival (though Peter wasn't quite so enthusiastic about it), has found a home at IFC Films. The film is the first to walk away with a major studio deal since the festival kicked off, and it will likely be one…

  • TIFF Movie Review: James Gunn's Super

    I was one of the many who really loved James Gunn's Slither, and have been highly looking forward to his follow-up. Super premiered on Friday night as part of the Midnight Madness line-up of the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Rainn Wilson as a man who decides to become a super hero after…

  • Toronto Fest Adds James Gunn's 'Super' And More To Midnight Madness

    So many of my favorite movie experiences are the result of seeing films during the Midnight Madness program at the Toronto International Film Festival. The program perches like a beast ready to devour the more 'respectable' films at TIFF. While seeing films at the fest is great, period, there's nothing quite like catching the world…

    New Photos: Rainn Wilson And Liv Tyler In James Gunn's 'Super'

    I'd been looking forward to seeing footage from James Gunn's strange low-fi superhero movie Super, and Comic Con provided the goods. I really liked what I saw; Gunn has come up with a no-frills, low-budget approach that lets him play with some characters that are possibly quite sick and twisted. It's the world of underround…

    Comic-Con: First Look At Super

    I've never understood the fascination at Comic-Con with wanting to see panels for movies that audiences already know everything about. To me, Super is the epitome of what makes this place special: getting to be the first to discover and experience the geekiest projects worth getting excited about in the years ahead, right alongside the…

    Kevin Bacon Cast As The Villain In James Gunn's Super

    I can think of one popular parlour game that's about to get a tiny bit easier... James Gunn's Super is a very promising-sounding example of the "real world superheroes" subgenre that includes Special, Defendor and Kick-Ass. The film is currently shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana with Rainn Wilson starring as a would be superhero without any…
