What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? With Brightburn, the visionary filmmaker of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Slither’ presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.
The eagle-eyed among you will spot the direct parallels between this creepy trailer and the one for Christopher Nolan’s Man of Steel. With its tongue firmly in its cheek, Brightburn is clearly using familiar devices to lull audiences into a sense of security before taking us on a dark and twisted alternate adventure.
Produced by James Gunn and Kenneth Huang, Brightburn is written by Mark Gunn & Brian Gunn, and directed by David Yarovesky. Starring Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones and Meredith Hagner, Brightburn will open at cinemas across the UK and Ireland on May 24, 2019.
