There was a movie like that in like 2009, where a bunch of bullied high-school kids randomly get superpowers, and one of the more bullied ones goes overboard and goes on a fucking rampage. I forgot the name, but this reminds me of that.

I'm convinced they made a massive screw-up by revealing the premise and twist (as it were) in the trailer. What's the point of actually watching the movie?

Yeah that was the movie I was talking about. Also, can I get more info about Landis and Trank. They sound like people that would be on this site if they didn't have managers reeling them in.
That's a big problem I have with most modern movies: Either you can predict how the movie is gonna go by the trailers and all the twists in it, even if they don't show it or thewy outright show you them. I wish directors/marketers knew how to sell their movie without making it pointless to watch.

Landis has a thread here. It's really impossible to tell which of the stories about him are true and which are twitter ladies trying to drag him, but he's a sleazy blue-haired male feminist so they're most likely true. Trank directed Fantastic Four (2015), a massive bomb, and he apparently came to set drunk consistently, trashed the hotel he was staying in and bad mouthed the movie on twitter a week before it came out. He went from being an absolute nobody to a high profile sci-fi/comic book movie director with his own Star Wars movie planned to completely unhireable in like 3 years.
As for Brightburn, I think there's nothing really they can do. Glass was a recent movie with a big twist, and everything I've seen about it is people saying they liked the parts that were in the trailer and hated the twist parts. People have been trained to know how a movie is going to end and how they feel about it before it even comes out.

No, just what would realistically happen would there be an actual superboy.

Psychopath Superman. Guessing it's going to be a shallow examination of nature vs. nurture from a superhero perspective.
I wonder if he'll have a Kryptonite (and hence defeated), or if it will end with him remaking the world.

Kind of makes me think of Ultraman, the evil Superman from DC. Or the Mark Waid (yeah the one ya boy is suing) Irredeemable comic series where the most powerful hero, The Plutonian, on earth starts murdering his fellow heroes and groups of civilians.

On a side note, Gunn really needs to take a break from Superhero stuff
The Specials, Super, two Guradians of the Galaxy movies, this, Suicide Squad 2, holy fuck dude take a break

There's been multiple dark takes on the Superman kind of hero. Alan Moore/Rob Liefeld did it with Supreme. Garth Ennis did it with The Boys. And you could stretch it a little and say Alan Moore did it with Doctor Manhattan in Watchmen.
He only produced this one. His brothers wrote it.

Well, one of his brothers and his cousin wrote it.
I think it's one of the brothers that created PG-Porn with James.

Close enough. And PG Porn was hilarious.
All the episodes of PG Porn used to be hosted on James' Youtube channel but I guess he deleted it after the bullshit with his Tweets.

He did delete his channel. Which sucks because that was the only way to see his short films he made for Microsoft's Horror Meets Comedy.Close enough. And PG Porn was hilarious.

So it will likely end with the mother killing her son somehow or the alien boy lives on before the credits roll (like in the novel and play version of The Bad Seed).
