Wilson, Page and Tyler Are Super

Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page and Liv Tyler have signed on for a new comedy Super, which makes fun of the superhero genre.

James Gunn wrote and will direct the film, with production set for December. Super will be produced by Ted Hope through his Gotham-based This Is That banner.

Wilson, who previously worked with Page in Juno, plays and average guy who takes on the pseudo-superhero alter ego of the Crimson Bolt, after watching his wife (Tyler) fall under the spell of a charming drug dealer. Lacking super powers, he compensates by swinging a trusty wrench.
