VS : Heroes Face a Horrific Twist

Dreadcentral.com just tipped me off on a new project from Jason Trost (the madman behind The FP aka that clip we ran where futuristic folks played dance dance revolution in battle) called VS. The project cashes in on our love for those men and women in tights but the plot looks to be pure, fantastic anarchy...

Four Super Heroes find themselves abducted by their Arch Nemesis and are forced to compete in a series of challenges in order to save an abandoned town full of kidnapped innocent civilians.

James Gunn messed with the chemistry of the typical super hero story in his film Super and if you think hard enough, you can trace it all back to Toxic Avenger as one of the first super hero films to break the standard, fairly family safe mold. Most recently, Max Landis gave us Chronicle; in which teenagers find themselves with powers a little beyond their control. This is a trend I'll applaud until my hands are red and swollen! Moooooore please. We'll be watching for screening dates for VS as they surface, but for now, dig the trailer...
