In the past 12 months, it seems quite a few filmmakers have been enamoured with the idea of why normal people would want to become superheroes. We’ve already had Kick Ass and Defendor, and now James Gunn’s Super is on its way, which sees Frank (Rainn Wilson) left devasted when his wife (Live Tuler) leaves him for a seductive, psychopathic drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). The experience tramsforms Frankand the crimefighting Crimson Bolt is born. 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). The rules were written a long time ago: You are not supposed to molest children, cut lines or key cars; if you do, prepare to face the wrath of the Crimson Bolt! No UK release is set yet, but click below for the trailer.

Brandon Routh may not be coming back as Superman, but he’s not giving up on comic book characters, as he’s taking on the insanely popular Italian comic series, Dylan Dog, with Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night.

No Problem.” Armed with an edgy wit and carrying an arsenal of silver and wood-tipped bullets, Dylan must track down a dangerous artifact before a war ensues between his werewolf, vampire and zombie clients living undercover in the monster infested backstreets of New Orleans.

What if we only had hoodies to save us from alien invasion? Well, that’s the situation in Attack The Block, when extra-terrestrial invaders descend on a south London housing estate and it’s up to a group of teens to reluctantly take on the menace. Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a scary South London tower block when she;s robbed by a gang of masked, hooded youths. She’s saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. Sam flees, just before the gang are attacked by a small alien creature that leaps from the wreckage. The gang chase the creature and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block, which they treat as their territory. While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of meteors fall. Confident of victory against such feeble invaders, the gang grab weapons, mount bikes and mopeds, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are bigger. Much bigger. Savage, shadowy and bestial, they are hunting their fallen comrade and nothing will stand in their way. The estate is about to become a battleground. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her, and the block’s, only hope. Directed by Joe Cornish of Adam and Joe fame, the film hits cinemas on May 13th.

Rubber got a fair amount of buzz even before its Sundance premiere, just because of its bizarre premise – a car tire goes on the rampage. However many who saw it felt it lived up to its promise, and was just a strange, surreal and funny and they’d hoped. The film tell the tale of Robert, an inanimate car tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to prey on small desert creatures, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction across the desert landscape, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with. It’s billed as a comedy horror tribute to the cinematic concept of ‘no reason’. Take a look below for thenew red band trailer, with added gore.

I doubt many people have spent time wishing they made a version of Moby Dick where instead of being obessed with a whale, someone really, really wanted to kill a white dragon, but we’re getting one anyway, with Age Of The Dragons.  In a medieval realm, Captain Ahab (Danny Glover) and his legendary crew roam the land, hunting dragons for the vitriol that powers their world.
