Funny (bloody) clip from James Gunn's 'Super'

Rainn Wilson as superhero in Super

James Gunn's "Super" should arrive in theaters next year, and a new bloody clip from the superhero comedy has landed online. It shows Rainn Wilson getting a little more violent than we are used to.

Ellen Page, Live Tyler and Kevin Bacon star in "Super," which I admit I'm very eager to see. I mean, what can go wrong with Wilson playing a dramatic role of a depressed guy who thinks he can be a superhero?

In Super, Frank’s (Wilson) wife leaves him for a seductive, psychopathic drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). Frank is transformed and the Crimson Bolt is born. He's a dude messing with those not respecting the law.

With a hand-made suit, a wrench, and a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Ellen Page), the Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife (Liv Tyler)! Enjoy the clip.

Rogue plans sequel to ‘The Strangers’

Rogue Pictures is set to develop a sequel to Bryan Bertino’s horror thriller “The Strangers,” according to Variety.

Produced on a budget of roughly $9 million, the film opened in May and generated $54 million domestically. Liz Tyler and Scott Speedman starred as a couple terrorized by three mysterious attackers.

Bertino is expected to write the follow-up, although it’s not clear whether he’ll return to direct. The plot of the sequel will likely involve Liv Tyler and some of the first film’s villains.

Currently, Bertino is working on “Black,” which at this stage is described as a thriller with supernatural elements. He is also writing “Alone,” a thriller that has already been in development at Rogue for quite a while.

Although I pretty much enjoyed “The Strangers,” I really hate the idea of Rogue trying to launch another horror franchise à la “Saw.”

What’s your reaction to this? Did you like “The Strangers”? Do you want to find out what happens to Liv Tyler’s character? Or couldn’t you care less? Sound off below.
