Movie trailer - Chronicle (2012)

 Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides. 

This movie is still in the teaser stages, but it's got a similar excitement/hype that followed Cloverfield and Super 8 in its mystery. I like the use of the 'found footage' with traditional filming techniques. I also like the darker tone to the whole 'gaining super powers' story.

Chronicle is due to hit cinemas in 2012.


Do you like this darker tone? What would you want to see in a new superhero movie?

  1. Super something, but not heroes! Like evil X-Men. Looks interesting though!

  2. And hey, have you seen the trailers for Lock Out and Cabin in the Woods? Awesome stuff!

  3. I like a little darkness (it makes characters more complex), but not too much. A nice twist to the usual!

  4. The premise makes me think of the British Show MISFITS, which was good and gritty by the way (and disturbing at times too).

    I like movies to change up a bit. After a while superheroes can become super boring.

  5. I like the idea of a darker side to having super powers. It makes so much more sense than giving them super powers and making them super good.

  6. Okay, from the description, it didn't sound that exciting. But then I saw the trailer and holy smokes. I have to see this movie.
