MYSTERYMEN


Always been a fan to a movie where superheros join in to save the day. This a comedy but i think its gonna be a good one. Check out the official site, lots of cool stuff in it.

Macy (The Shoveller), Geoffrey Rush (Cassanova Frankenstein), Janeane Garofalo (The Bowler), Greg Kinnear (Captain Amazing), Paul Reubens (The Spleen), Hank Azaria (Blue Raja), Wes Studi, Kel Mitchell, Claire Forlani (Monica), Lena Olin (Dr. Annabel Leek), Eddie Izzard (Tony Pompadour), Tom Waits, Pras

Based on: The text-based comic books by Flaming Carrot creator Bob Burden. The Mystery Men first appeared in Flaming Carrot Comics #16, sure to become a classic and quite collectible.

Premise: When the villain Cassanova Frankenstein (Rush) escapes from a mental institute and begins re-assembling his crew of baddies, an unlikely batch of superheroes joins forces to stop him! The Mystery Men include Mr. Furious (Stiller), who can get really, really mad; The Shoveller (Macy), who has a shovel he bangs bad guys with, and, well... you get the idea. I don't want to spoil it for you. :)
