Grayson is a movie about, you guessed it, Dick Grayson. Is this thing for real? There's no way this movie could be released but I want to see it anyway. Here's a link to the preview.

It sounds and even looks awesome but I'll still trying to download the previews part... But what a set up huh? Who killed batman, will Robin kick as much *SQUEE*? I smell a blockbuster if DC pulls something like this off.

I've been told it's an indie film. Looks good.

Trying to download, but it keeps cutting out on me. Got to get a download resume program and try again!

Look under non-star wars movies for some other cool ones!!

Well the acting seems a little corny but the whole premise is awesome! I'd love to see the whole thing in theatres when its out, but I'm wondering if the studio actually thought it was good, would they not want advertise it more?

I'm guessing this was a student film staged as a preview...I mean, when was the last time you saw a five minute preview for anything? Plus it's a fan's dream to see that many comic characters in one movie...and DC wouldn't let their prime characters drop into some indi film...of course, I could be wrong.

But this trailer was hokey and used every cliche in the book...Irish cops, breaking glass, training scenes (you gotta have a montage!), Anna Korininna-type music...the list goes on.

It's like the assignment was "make a short with every Hollywood cliche there is."

HEY!

I'm actually doing an article on this for Newsarama (it will be a two-part article that also features Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher).

The article won't be ready for a couple weeks so I'll clue you in that it is not a real movie. The writer/director used his money to put together just this trailer with like...22 grand over a period of a year. It was meant as an exercise in filmmaking (he's a filmmaker who is just trying to live his dream) and ended up being this big thing on the web.

I'll let you know when the article is done so you can read it 'right from the director's mouth.'

Here's an idea: Make a comic movie that actually represents the characters.

Nothing against "Grayson," they spent the money well, even though the woman playing Catwoman can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

Is it me, or am I the only one who likes Unbreakable?

HOLLER AT ME!!!!! :o

The bootleggers have had this trailer playing at all the major comic conventions this past summer. I saw it at Wizard World Dallas convention in November where they were selling tapes of it.
It reads like a reverse "Hush" storyline. Nice plot; bad acting.
