X-Men meets Trainspotting!? You like that description? We sure you do, and that's exactly why we're here today!
Miracle Park is an upcoming and directorial debut from comic-book creator
Mark Millar (best known for titles like
Kick-Ass and
Wanted), so get ready for fresh superhero thriller that is:
“…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…
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. “
Ok, enough with the official part, here's what Millar had to say about his upcoming project:
“We're trying to do a superhero movie with the sensibilities of Paranormal Activities and Cloverfield.
It's low budget mostly shot on a handheld camera dealing with superpowers…it is set in the suburbs of Scotland so it feels like Trainspotting meets X-Men.”
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. So, let's wait and see!
