ATTENTION ALL SUPERHERO MOVIE FANS:
There's a new, original, totally kick ass superhero movie shooting in Toronto, Canada, called "SIDEKICK". It's an indie production through and through, but it's got some pretty awesome name talent involved and a great freakin' twist to boot.
Instead of being an origin of a superhero film, SIDEKICK is...get this...an origin of a supervillain film. Cool.
Daniel Baldwin, the Baldwin brother from such hits as Homicide: Life on the Streets and John Carpenter's Vampires, recently joined the cast, relishing the chance to play a different type of character for him - not a cop or a killer but a sarcastic, nerdy comic book store owner.
Also, Ken Lashley, the supertalented comic book artist behind some really excellent X-men and Spiderman comics and founder of Draxhall (www.draxhall.com), makes a cameo appearance as himself.
Here's the synopsis for the film:
Mild-mannered computer consultant Norman Neale has two great loves in this cruel world: Comic books and his office's effervescent main receptionist, Andrea Hicks. Norman spends his days dreaming of Andrea from the isolation of his cubicle and his nights dreaming of fighting crime from the solitude of his apartment.
Then one fateful day, Norman discovers that a fellow co-worker, Victor Ventura, a swaggering, pretty-boy salesman, has slight telekinetic abilities beyond his understanding. After discussing his mind-blowing discovery with his only friend Chuck, a know-it-all comic book store owner, Norman comes to the outlandish conclusion that he should train Victor to become a real-life superhero by helping him refine and expand his extraordinary ability. Norman envisions an exciting new future for himself battling the city's criminal elements as Victor's faithful sidekick.
But as Victor grows in power Norman is faced with the heartbreaking realization that not all people with extraordinary abilities are meant to be heroes.
The film will finish shooting in a couple weeks. Look for it to be ready for screening in the early fall. If you get the chance, check out the website. It rocks.
