Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, and Liv Tyler are set to star in Super, a comedy that takes aim at the superhero genre. James Gunn wrote and will direct with production set for December 2009.

Wilson, who last worked with Page in the movie Juno, plays an average guy who takes on the pseudo-superhero alter ego of the Crimson Bolt, after watching his wife (Tyler) fall under the spell of a charming drug dealer. Lacking super powers, he compensates by swinging a trusty wrench.

Gunn scripted Dawn of the Dead and both Scooby-Doo movies and he also made his feature directing debut with the 2006 comic horror film Slither.

LEEE777 says: Cool, sounds like Mystery Men and My Super Ex-Girlfriend kind of feel to it but not "Superhero Movie" feel, thank god. Hey, Liv Tyler's going to be in it, it's going to be good! ; )

Not a big fan of Liv Tyler. I actually thought she ruined every scene she was in in the LOTR trilogy.

@BigGrunks, I liked Liv Tyler in LOTR. There was real on-screen chemistry between Viggo's Aragorn and her elf-princess. She looks quite beautifully exotic and elf-like to me!

Stumblin @ Don't buy a ticket then lol! I'd like to see this film myself! ; D

FARTMAN @ yes they do, im thinking this is more SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND, MYSTERY MEN, HANCOCK type of thing, not a pi$$ Take!

Damn id rather watch this, rather than a HANCOCK 2???

If their doing a HANCOCK it should be a prequel of his rich past leading up to HANCOCK, not an extra lame sequel, the stories done lol.

James Gunn wrote the script, so at least we know that part of it will be good. Slither was an awesome 80's throwback/homage movie. Not to mention he was also Lloyd Kaufman's right-hand-man over at good ol' Troma. The Scooby Doo movies were so-so, but at least he got the characterization right. Oh, and the Dawn of the Dead remake is one of the best remakes ever committed to celluloid.

Liv Tyler is, without a doubt, THE WORST actress ever. Every time she talks she sounds like shes gasping for breath. She ruins every movie shes in. I hate her.

Liv is hot but crap. In LOTR she got a pass..but she flat out sucked as Betty Ross. Page i used to like..but he "cool, hip" chick thing is getting almost as old as Michael Ceras lost puppy dog act.
