WIth the huge $40+ million dollar opening weekend for Scary Movie 4, it comes as no surprise that the new spoof movie “Superhero Movie” is now being fast tracked to be in theaters within a year (They’re aiming for February 9th 2007).
The good folks over at Cinema Confidential give us this:
David Zucker, the director behind “Airplane!” the “Naked Gun” franchise, “Scary Movie 3,” and “Ruthless People” will re-team with Dimension Films to create the spoof on the latest trend of comic-book inspired films including “Spider-Man 3,” “Superman Returns,” “Batman Begins,” “Fantastic Four,” and “X-Men 3.”
Meh… I’m a sucker for the whole Superhero genre… so by default this project has my interest. I guess it was only a matter of time.
