Back in March, Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Nemesis) unveiled plans to direct a superhero movie set in his native Scotland that would take inspiration from Neill Blomkamp’s District 9. Filming is currently underway on the film, entitled Miracle Park and plans to be shooting though the end of October, with a teaser to be released in January.
Millar recently spoke with IGN, who dropped some info on the plot and gave them some behind the scenes pictures (below):
“Set in contemporary Scotland, this dark, unique superhero story focuses on a group of animal rights activists who break into a low-level research laboratory to find a mile-long underground base owned and facilitated by the US government…Miracle Park breaks all the taboos of superhero cinema and offers a completely new take on the genre…The movie is shot entirely on a hand-held camera, establishing a tone more consistent with Paranormal Activity or The Last Exorcism than a traditional superhero release.”
No release date has been set for Miracle Park as of yet.
