Heroes The Movie?
Kind of ... It's Called "Push"!
As Reported From The 2008 SDCC Comic Con International! Summit Entertainment gave the Comic Con Hall H audience a sneak peak of it's upcoming film, Push. If you like NBC's Heroes, you'll want to see it since it plays many of the same notes: The cast is comprised of young people with "special abilities" like watchers (who see the future), movers (wo are telekinetic) and pushers (who put thoughts in your head). Hmmm, sounds familiar so far. Did I mention they're fighting a clandestine group that wants to control and/or destroy them? No, it's not a "paper company." Comic book movie fans will be happy to see Chris Evans (The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies) play the reluctant hero opposite Dakota Fanning (who's grown up a lot since War of the Worlds). Director Paul McGuigan played clips that I suspect may be the best part of the movie: the opening which details the advent of the "special abilities" -- Nazi experimentation that never ends; and an extended scene in a fish market where Evans and Fanning are attacked by "Bleeters." The Bleeters have to have the coolest power in the movie, and the worst name for it. Basically they can put the Screaming Landlady in Kung Fu Hustle to shame. Fish tanks explode (ala Mission Impossible). You'll want to bring ear plugs to the theater. Don't say I didn't warn you! Tina!
