With all of the spoofs and parodies flying into theatres I am actually surprised that nobody has created a parody based off of all the comicbook films coming our way. Also noticing the gap in the genre, the spoof-master himself, David Zucker, is ready to deliver Superhero!.
David Zucker does Superhero!
According to MTV, David Zucker-- the man behind Scary Movie 4, Airplane! and The Naked Gun --plans on jumping into two new genres. His first announced film was Top Secret!, a film that will parody the more popular spy films out there. The next film, just recently announced, will be Superhero!, a movie that will bring together the "12 or so characteristics that are common to all these superhero movies."
Zucker plans to begin production on Top Secret! as soon as he is done promoting Scary Movie 4 and then Superhero! some time after that. However, he may have to wait a bit longer considering his female lead, Anna Farris, is currently involved with another superhero comedy titled My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
"I fight Uma Thurman as a superhero, which I think is funny" added Faris. "Because Uma is no match for me."
Considering that David Zucker plans to compile the more popular superhero films, we should expect parodies of Superman, Batman, Fantastic Four (too easy), X-Men and Spider-Man.
When can we expect the release of Superhero!? Since Top Secret! is the first on Zucker's to-do list, don't expect to see a trailer before Christmas. Zucker plans to begin writing the film during the summer with a release planned for some time in 2007.
