Finished this script from Max Landis.
I like his writing style. Script's a page-turner. Very quick read.
Story's about Andrew Detmer who starts chronicling his life with a videocamera to show proof of his abusive, alcoholic father.
One night, he and two friends find a hole at the base of a hill. They go inside and come out with superpowers.
However, this isn't a Marvel comics-type of movie. This thing is dark and edgy, showing how the powers corrupt and mentally warp a 17-yr old kid.
Script's written in the "found-footage" style. While it's easy to tell Landis has skills, I just don't know how you go about marketing this movie. Found-footage films seem to work best in the horror genre. I don't think this style will be that effective when dealing with kids flying in the air. It'll look gimmicky.
Definitely recommend the writer. Pass on the script.
