Woody Harrelson’s DEFENDOR Trailer

Lately we’ve seen an influx of realistic every-man-turned-superhero flicks, like Special and the upcoming Kick-Ass. Well we can add Defendor to that interesting sub-genre.

Defendor, like Special, seems to play on the psychosis involved in one believing they are a real life superhero.

Reality intersects with delusion in the mind of Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson), a regular man who adopts a superhero persona known as Defendor, and combs the city streets at night in search of his arch-enemy, Captain Industry. In his attempts to combat crime and bring down Captain Industry, a drug and weapons dealer who he mistakenly blames for the death of his mother, Defendor ends up befriending a young prostitute, Katerina Debrofkowitz (Kat Dennings). Armed with unconventional weapons of mass confusion, aided by his new friend, and putting his life on the line, Defendor proves that everyone is capable of making a difference

Check out the first official trailer below:

Woody Harrelson is on a major roll lately, with Zombieland being a huge hit, greenlighting a sequel, and his Oscar nomination for The Messenger (best supporting actor). Defendor looks like it could be a really unique, quirky film, maybe more suited to the more “indie” crowd.
