The rundown for the upcoming film goes like this: "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."
If you're familiar with Millar's work, then you know this will most likely be rated R, and the film will be filled with violence and cuss words that would make your grandpappy cry. I don't know how to really feel about this flick. It personally doesn't really grab my attention, even though I really like the title. But, you never can be too sure until we see a trailer or watch the actual movie, so I'll probably end up seeing the film. How will Millar do as a director? He's never directed a film before. This will be the second time in recent history that we've seen a comic book writer turn into a director, the first being Frank Miller for 300 and The Spirit. Let's hope this film and Mark Millar are a lot more successful than The Spirit. What do you guys think? Will you check out this film?
