This is a movie that got lost somewhere along the way. I imagine the revisions to the pitch went something like this:
"A superhero movie, but with a twist. It explores the loneliness that comes with being uniquely super. The pressures, and anxiety, the foibles that come to the surface when a person is confronted with being 'super.'"
Feedback from execs/creative buyers. "We love the idea. Just a couple of notes."
I'm installing that phenominal time-sink World of Warcraft (I actually have legitmate reasons for doing this ... honest). So far I have watched it download patches and updates for TWO FRICKEN HOURS. And without telling me, WoW decided to download all these many megabytes of patches over a BitTorrent system. This got me a nice lil' nastygram from my ISP (my ISP prohibits torrent traffic for technical reasons).
