Nacho Vigalondo directing Mark Millar's SUPERCROOKS

Nacho Vigalondo is set to direct Mark Millar's Supercrooks. The film is an adaptation of Millar‘s upcoming comic book series being developed with artist Leinil Yu. The project was firt annnounced by Movieweb with the following statement from Millar:

We will probably be making the comic book at the same time as the movie. The idea behind it is that a bunch of supervillains get together and say, ‘You know what, we keep getting beat by the superheroes. We always end up in prison. This is terrible no matter what we try to do. Let’s go to a country where they don’t have any superheroes, and then we can kick ass.’ So they leave America and head over to Europe where there are no superheroes, and it’s like Ocean’s Eleven meets the X-Men where seven supervillains head to Europe to pull the biggest job of their career where there are no supervillains to stop them.

Vigalondo's first film, Timecrimes, was amazing and kept me wanting more from him. He recently wrapped his second film Extraterrestrial, an alien invasion love story just in time for Cannes sales. We will be posting some stills and a poster for that film soon, so be on the lookout!
