Rainn Wilson is Super

With Ellen Page and Liv Tyler in a superhero satire

Sep 11th 2009 By James White

Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page and Liv Tyler have signed on to the lead roles in James Gunn's new film, Super.

Gunn, who has been pumping out PG-Porn spoofs online and last hit cinemas with horror comedy Slither has brewed up the tale of an ordinary bloke (Wilson) who reinvents himself as a hero called The Crimson Bolt when his wife (Tyler) succumbs to a drug addiction.

But though he dresses the part, he doesn't have any powers - so resorts to using a wench as a weapon.

It's all set to kick off in December, and having enjoyed Slither, we're interested to see what the former Troma writer has to say about superheroes…
