"I'm A Superhero. You Gotta Help Me." Trailer Premiere For Jordan Galland's ALTER EGOS!
If the name Jordan Galland sounds familiar to you that is most likely because you were one of the lucky ones to discover his quirky indie comedy Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Undead. Well, Galland is back - and he's bringing his famous Rosencrantz composer, Sean Lennon, with him - with what looks to be an absolutely fabulous superhero comedy Alter Egos.
The film is set in a version of our world in which super heroes are real but have recently lost all government funding and public support, and out of that setting comes a quirky comedy about an out of work superhero who needs to be saved from his own emotional crisis, and the girl who helps him do it.
While I won't spoil the cause of the 'emotional crisis' here - it's contained in the trailer and is pretty damn fantastic - this whole thing just oozes style and charm and a sense of comedy based in wit and a sincere love for the genre. Galland takes himself in some new directions here while still preserving the unique voice that made Rosencrantz an indie hit. It's Sundance selection season and this looks like an obvious pick from where I'm sitting. Here's hoping the powers that be agree.
