The new film, Gods and Secrets, will have an unconventional cast including breakfast fan #1, Walt Jr.
Are you a fan of gritty action films? Then you should check the work of Adi Shankar.
Shankar is an eccentric young producer who has worked on Dredd, The Grey, A Walk Among the Tombstones, and a number of other darker action flicks.
He is also responsible for a handful of well-known fan films that are bleak reimaginings of classic franchises, like The Punisher: Dirty Laundry, and Power/Rangers, based off the Mighty Morphin series.
Now, Shankar is set to direct his first feature, and it’s going to be, no surprise, a darker film, but also, a superhero movie with a crazy cast.
The Wrap reports that Shankar has assembled a very unorthodox group of actor to play superheroes in his new film, Gods and Secrets. The cast includes Denise Richards, WWE stars “Diamond Dallas Page and John Morrison, Glee Alumni Mark Salling and Max Adler, Andy Milonakis, blogger Perez Hilton, and Flynn from Breaking Bad, RJ Mitte.
Despite having a cast that is more random than a parody movie, Gods and Secrets is set to be a serious film that looks at the “darker” side of being a superhero. The movie will dive into the ramifications and consequences of having powers, and how that affects those that the heroes protect.
Gods and Secrets has yet to have an official release date, and it will debut first on HBO.
If you haven’t seen Dirty Laundry, or Power/Rangers (below), we highly recommend you do. They are bleak and violent, but have a certain charm that Gods and Secrets will hopefully emulate.
