Defendor

The past few years haven't given us much from Woody Harrelson. Seems he dropped off of the Hollywood map to become an environmentalist. Well, he's back and in a big way. By now you should have already seen Zombieland, and yes, it was awesome. But do you know about his new movie? Probably not. That's why I'm writing this.

Harrelson returns in Defendor, his wannabe superhero film that was picked up by Sony Pictures after it's screening at Toronto Film Festival.

Harrelson recently had an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and had this to say about Defendor; "It's a guy who's mildly retarded who thinks he's a superhero, only, of course, bullets don't bounce off and he gets beat up all the time. He's trying to fight crime and falls in love with this girl, played wonderfully by Kat Dennings, who's a crack whore. Peter Stebbings wrote and directed it; he's an actor. I was surprised how good it turned out, and luckily Sony thought so too, because they picked it up."

Harrelson plays Arthur Poppington, AKA Defendor, who is set on taking down Captain Industry, who may or may not exist. And he's in love with a crack whore.

Sign me up. This sounds awesome. It's great to have Woody back making movies.
