Check Out The Trailer For ALTER EGOS A New Superhero Comedy
Hit the jump to check out a trailer for Alter Egos, a quirky new comedy that is about a superhero battling emotional crises. His girlfriend appears to only love his superhero identity, and he must come face to face with his parent's killer.
Alter Egos inhabits a fantasy world where superheroes are a dime a dozen. If you have the powers, as lead supers Fridge (Kris Lemche), and C-Thru (Joey Kern), do, then, well, you can practice them for good, as long as you follow the guidelines, or at least some of them. Quite obviously, this is a parody of parodies and flips the superhero genre on its head. Like Superman, Fridge is dorky in his human clothes. Unlike Superman, it's not because he has to do so to keep his identity under wraps—more like he uses his superhero garb to explore different facets of his personality, as evidenced by the title. Somewhere along the storyline, he must tackle the fact that his girlfriend loves his superhero identity more than his unmasked self, and, naturally, face his nemesis, the man who killed his mom and dad—although he really doesn't want to.
Alter Egos, the upcoming low-budget superhero comedy from Kevin Smith's SModcast Pictures opens in New York on October 19th and will be available On Demand November 20th. The film is directed by Jordan Galland, and stars Kris Lemche, Brooke Nevin, Joey Kern, Christine Evangelista, John Ventimiglia and Danny Masterson.
