Mark Millar's Miracle Park is "X-Men Meets Trainspotting"

Mark Millar can do it all. From writing super successful comic books to creating characters and worlds you could only dream of when you were a kid. Now you can add Director to the list of things he can do.

Millar will be making his Directorial debut with the low-budget movie "Miracle Park"!

"Miracle Park is the directorial debut from comic-book creator Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Wanted, Nemesis, The Ultimates).

"Set in contemporary Scotland, this dark, unique superhero story focuses on a group of animal rights activists who break into a low-level research laboratory to find a mile-long underground base owned and facilitated by the US government.

"Described as The X-Men meets Trainspotting, Miracle Park breaks all the taboos of superhero cinema and offers a completely new take on the genre.

"The movie is shot entirely on a hand-held camera, establishing a tone more consistent with Paranormal Activity or The Last Exorcism than a traditional superhero release.

"Miracle Park is chilling, violent and a totally new experience in cinema. Miracle Park starts where other superhero movies draw the line."

"Principal photography finishes at the end of October and Millar expects to be in post-production until January when the teaser trailer will be released."












Now let's see if his "direction" on a movie set can hold a candle to his writing ability in the comic world...

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available...

I don't get it. An underground facility in Scotland run by the US military? Why not the UK?

this sounds really good. i hope its dark and gritty and feels real. i also hope we see wierd looks characters kinda like nightcrawler and others who look strange but i really hope they make it dark and feel like it just might be possible.

I love Mark Millar, but he seems to be spreading himself a little thin these days.

This sounds interesting, I like anything Millar does so of course I'll see this. I just hope he can actually direct unlike Frank Millar.

Two Scottish superhero movies at once! Mad! "Night is Day - The Movie" wrapped filming at the end of August and is now in post production. It's a mix of hand-held, steadicam and tripod filming. There's a trailer at http://vimeo.com/14298694
