WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

From out of the sky comes a ship carrying an infant boy, and local Kansas couple Tori (Banks) and Kyle Breyer (Denman) decide to raise him as their own when they find him. The boy, named Brandon (Dunn), soon grows into a bright, talented and extraordinarily gifted youth – however, when he reaches puberty, a mysterious darkness begins to take hold of him, and his adoptive parents are left helpless as they witness their son turn into a twisted, vicious and unstoppable predator…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Producer James Gunn is behind this much darker take on the classic Superman origin, which plays on the criticisms of the hero’s unsympathetic and even psychotic plight in 2013’s Man of Steel.
