SUPER
is definitely the coolest film I've ever been
lucky enough to be a part of.
It stars Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Kevin
Bacon, Liv Tyler, Gregg Henry, Andre Royo,
Nathan Fillion, Linda Cardellini, Michael
Rooker, Sean Gunn & Yours Truly. It's written
& directed by James Gunn.
Rainn plays Frank D'Arbo, a down & out short
order cook who snaps when his wife (Liv
Tyler) leaves him for a local drug kingpin
(Kevin Bacon). Believing himself to be called
by a higher power to right the world's wrongs,
Frank becomes a costumed vigilante...The
Crimson Bolt.
Joined by his "kid" sidekick Boltie (Ellen
Page), he uses a pipe-wrench to take more
than a bite out of crime.
SUPER is distributed by IFC Films and
premiered in theatres April 1, 2011.
