Super-er?

James Gunn’s been shooting a new superhero flick he wrote and directed — and helping out with the flick as his assistant is one of our very own Pajibans Justin, who’s twats you should be atwitter over. When his girlfriend Liv Tyler succumbs to the sway of drugs, Rainn Wilson puts on a superhero suit and picks up a fucking pipe wrench and decides to seek retribution. I’ve been keeping tabs through Justin’s twooshes (@BuckJHamstein) and let’s just say there are bunnies and guys on fire and people getting punched in the face and that’s just the craft services table. The premise of a superhero with no actual powers is a good one, and in James Gunn’s able hands it should turn out pretty damn good. And the casting is no exception.

This film just keeps adding on more and more radical people, which can only truly reach its apex with the casting of me. Kevin Bacon plays the drug dealer whose sweet candy Liv Tyler desires. Ellen Page plays a sociopath who becomes Rainn Wilson’s sidekick. But there’s more!

Linda Cardellini plays Rainn Wilson’s possible love interest — with a wife I don’t know how that’s gonna work out but fuck it, bring on the L.C. and save her from more Grandma’s Boy humiliation. Andre Royo, Bubbles from “The Wire,” is taking on a role written specifically for him. Gunn’s brother Sean, along with a few other Troma regulars, are joining the ranks — including a cameo from Lloyd Kaufmann himself! And what’s been spiking up the ol’ interwebs tonight — Nathan Fillion!

Who needs emo Spidey swingdancing with Malkovich? We’ve got Dwight Schrute beating the Footloose for hooking Arwyn on crank. And somehow Captain Hammer and Bubbles are involved?

The only way this could get better is if NPH entered the picture. Riding me wearing a unicorn horn. Make it happen, Justin!

How does Rainn Wilson get a girlfriend that looks like Liv Tyler? Oh wait, she's on drugs. I guess that explains the whole premise of the movie, except once he gets her off drugs, she's going to realize that she's dating Rainn Wilson.

Oh hell, Nathan Fillion. I'm in.

How does he get a girlfriend who's face looks like it was molded from playdoe and all but the most basic details were left off? Just unlucky I guess.

Me. Want. Fillion.

This news is soooo much better than that lame Spiderman crap! I feel almost... what's that crazy word... happy? Fillion does to me what donuts do to Homer Simpson. Mmmm, Fillion.

Well, that DOES explain the LC love interest angle...

Is this that Mark Millar book?

Posted by: AmbroseKalifornia at January 12, 2010 12:34 PM

Gunn and Fillion are good buddies so this isn't surprising, yet it IS awesome. Also, SLITHER reunion!

Isn't this similar to the premise of Kick Ass? I really have been avoiding spoilering that one but the trailer sounds pretty similar.

Yummy, yummy Fillion *_*

Anything that reunites James Gunn and Nathan Fillion, my ass is in a seat on opening night. Yes.

P.S. Did you just forget about Michael Rooker being in this, or is that a false rumor? Srsly, Prisco, if you read this, please answer.

Congratulations Justin! Sounds ridiculously awesome!

Ok but, and I know this isn't going to sit well with you Whedon-worshipping pajibans, but Nathan Fillion is a terrible actor.

He's kind of pretty and has a nice body but he's just not very good at his craft.

Granted, I never saw Firefly and maybe that makes all the difference but I did rent Serendipity, mainly because of you guys raving about it, and it was not a good movie. At the time, I remember thinking that maybe the dialogue wouldn't sound so stupid if they had had the budget to hire real actors. Imagine my surprise when I came back here and read that you guys thought the cast was great!

For such a bitchy review site, you guys sure seem to mainly give these untalented guys a by. Why is that?

MillyQPublic was serendipity that movie about the two spaceships that meet one day in the galaxy near a blackhole but decide to hold up for better spaceship to copulate with and come up with the brilliant idea that if it was meant to be they would meet again near that same black hole one day ad don't exchange phone numbers and then years later the blue spaceship is getting upgraded with a new spaceship but actually just wants that old fake pixie pink spaceship he actually doesn't know but who cares and she's a lonely spaceship that has a lot of cats and they both look for that damn black hole,magically find it and finally disappear forever and ever together??? is that the movie?

I'd post something here but I'm too busy wiping the tears from my eyes and recovering from the fit of giggles rio's last comment induced.

Posted by: lainiefig at January 12, 2010 10:53 PM

Hahaha, nice one, rio.

I think MillyQPublic just ate a bag of anuses on that one.

Fun Facts:
1. If you're a 'Jiban, there's a 97.8% chance that this movie is going to rock your face off.

2. Yes Jerce, there is a Rooker.

3. MillyQ, you're just adorable.

4. Ambrose, you're probably thinking of Kick-Ass. Fun sub-fact, James (or as he makes me refer to him, Generalissimo Well-Endowed) wrote the script for Super around the same time Millar was writing his "guy becomes a superhero" story. After the initial "awww crapburgers" moment, they realized that their stories were about as similar as apples and asphalt.

5. Prisco, we need a background player for "Eastern European Prostitute #4." I can put in a word for you, but you have to bring your own pasties.

I am an western european manwhore, does that count? can I play?

Posted by: rg at January 13, 2010 9:51 AM

Nope! That one sounds way worse than the one I saw which was, of course, "Selena"

The definition of some really good music players for kids? My cousin is 5 yoa and for christmas I want to buy her a mp3 player, she loves my nano but I think it could be difficult for her to utilize it. Are there any good ones for kids?
