[scifinoir2] Defendor
Has anybody seen this trailer?

Defendor is a Canadian comedy-drama film written and directed by Peter
Stebbings, and starring Woody Harrelson, Kat Dennings and Sandra Oh. The story
tells of a regular man who adopts the persona of a superhero named Defendor on
a quest to find his arch enemy, Captain Industry.

Unfortunately this movie, like all movies about "actual" people donning masks
and costumes to actually fight crime, never do well at the box office
("Defendor" earned the princely sum of $44,462) cause anyone who actually likes
this sort of fare doesn't want to dwell on how ridiculous it all is.
Still, I can't wait to get a DVD copy.

I have always found that interesting. I would love to see one go after white
collar crime. :)

Re: [scifinoir2] Defendor
I think the other superhero movies tend to work because they are larger than
life. Realistic hero stuff doesn't work well because they are too "normal" I
think. Unless you throw in some martial arts or gun play (or cool equipment
like batman or iron man).
