By now, everyone is well aware of the next upcoming superhero film from Marvel, The Avengers, with the ridiculously awesome trailer landing earlier this month. Joss Whedon landing the directing gig was a welcome surprise to all of his many, many fans, and it’s been good to see Marvel finding slightly unlikely candidates to take [...]
On the surface of it, Super might sound to many almost exactly like Kick-Ass, albeit with a much lower budget. The premise of the two films does, superficially (no pun intended), sound very similar. Both films feature an ordinary guy without any powers that goes about trying to stop crime. And this similarity means that [...]
James Gunn’s Super is a dark take on the superhero genre, which asks the question – what would it take to become a real life superhero?

Super hits UK cinemas this Friday, 8th July and to celebrate, Hanway Films have sent us this brand new clip from the movie.

Titan Books have gone to town with this tie-in which is essential reading for budding evil geniuses everywhere as you [...]
One of my biggest regrets from SXSW 2011 was not seeing Rainn Wilson’s new movie, Super. The movie clashed with that of the Aint It Cool News Secret screening where the rumour was that either Captain America, Thor or Super 8 would be screened. Despite Guillermo del Toro, being there (which was indeed rather cool), [...]
Gathering buzz from its showing at SXSW James Gunn’s Super is looking very interesting indeed. Two clips, one from Twitch and the other from Coming Soon, should be just the ticket if you’re till not on board the Super train, be warned though – the second clip is all kinds of nasty, making the final [...]
This is one of the films making some noise at SXSW in Austin at the moment and if you were a fan of James Gunn’s previous movie, the glorious B-movie Slither, then you’ll already be excited for his take on the real life superhero tale. This new poster follows on from the Rainn Wilson version [...]
In a world increasingly populated with DIY super heroes there is something special about Super, James Gunn’s next film, and we have a new trailer tonight to spoil us into an expectant mess. Following up his wonderful and slightly silly B-Movie Slither, Gunn has enlisted Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page to tell the story of [...]

The film did well at this year’s Comic-Con event in San Diego, with the footage exciting critics and film fans alike, many comparing it to Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass.

Update: It now eppears that Whedon said this as a joke and this is, in fact rubbish! – Apologies everyone. It’s official! Nathan Fillion (Serenity, Firefly) has been selected to join the elite superhero film, The Avengers, as none other than the mighty Ant-Man. Ant-Man shall shrink you and then, when you are sleeping, will command [...]
Slither was a B-movie that knew how to tickle, and though it may not have destroyed box office records it is a well crafted, marvellously hammy and fun movie and its director James Gunn has plucked one of Slither’s stars to join him in his new film, Super. The man in question is Nathan Fillion, [...]
