I ran a search, but I couldn't find a post or reference linking to the short currently being featured on theforce.net called Grayson. (Trailer, really, but for a movie that doesn't yet exist.)
I highly recommend downloading it and the director's commentary. Basically, an aspiring director/writer/producer was stuck playing "Robin" in all the Batman games as a kid, and so Robin became a really cool character in his mind. This is the result of 18 months worth of low budget filming (less than $18,000), and is an interesting twist on a normally dorky superhero.
I dug it.

Which one is the commentary?

Pieces of the Puzzle.
I officially have a big crush on the director.

Okay, downloading both. I will report back once I've watched 'em. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Righteous.

I like the name Grayson.

Hey, I'd watch the movie if they actually made it. Looks interesting. (Though, I don't have a clue how they could fit all the stuff in the short into a 2hr movie)

Hey, that was better than the SW EP III trailer.

Wow! That looks really cool! Now I want to see it! Hurry up and make it so we can see it! All those superheros/villians together should be cool - Robin, Superman, WonderWoman, Joker, who else was there? There was a masked/caped female, possibly Riddler, who else?

I haven't watched it yet but I wanted to thank Ralphie for pointing it out. Ralphie, you don't post nearly often enough anymore. We miss you.

Yeah, it's pretty much four movies worth of material.

Of course, he simply needs financing. But why on earth would a studio back something like this when they can finance another Hilary Duff POS?
