New Footage for “Chronicle”


There’s a new type of superhero flick coming to town, and it goes by the name of Chronicle. From what I’ve seen, this is a ‘found-footage’ flick much in the style of movies like Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity. It features a group of super-powered teens gifted with a new found power and how that power will eventually turn one of them towards ‘evil’. It’s a pretty standard premise, but exciting nonetheless. Check out the new trailer here:

I have to admit, at first I was a bit turned off by this flick. A few of us over at UTF are comic scribes, and this movie is a little too familiar to one of our projects. Honestly, when we first heard about this movie, our natural reaction was “What the F***“…but our mixture of jealousy and anger soon dissipated, and we realized that this film has a chance at being one of the best superhero movies out there.

But still…it’s a bit disheartening to see one of your ideas hit the market under someone else’s name. You know the feeling, right? The “Hey, I came up with that 3 years ago!!!” feeling. Whatever!!! We’re so over it!!! (as I whimper and sip whiskey from my coffee mug at 9 in the morning)
