With Disney working on Avengers: Age of Ultron, Sony working on The Sinister Six, Fox working on X-Men and Fantastic Four, and Warner Brothers working on Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, we have a lot of large-scale superhero flicks coming, but how many independent superhero films do we have? Well, now young high school student, William Martinko, is working on his. He just released the theatrical trailer for his film, The Distinguished, a few hours ago. It stars Sam McLaughlin, Clare Heller, Aidan Everly, Michael Almeida, and Marusia Griffin Lynn.
The plot goes a little something like this:
"After convincing his overbearing mother to send him to high school, David tries to fit in with the normal world, but he is not normal at all. He has telekinetic powers that allow him to levitate objects, read people's minds, and defy gravity. He begins to meet new people including a girl named Amy who feels as if there's something different from him. He also encounters a football player named Toby who wants David out of the equation. While he tries to fit in, he starts to learn about his powers, how far he can go with them, and how he got them, but accidents begin to occur."
Check out the film when it hits the web on April 10, 2015!
