John J. McLaughlin, one of the writers of Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, wrote the upcoming thriller The Super, from an idea by “Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf. It stars Val Kilmer, and Deadline reports today that Saban Films has landed the U.S. rights to the film.
Saban has set an October 19 release for the Stephan Rick-directed thriller.
“The Super centers on the mysterious disappearance of several tenants at a luxury New York City apartment building. Phil Lodge, the building’s new superintendent and a former NYPD officer, immediately suspects Walter (Kilmer), the strange maintenance man. With his daughters’ lives on the line, Phil must decipher the cryptic riddles in which Walter speaks to solve the disappearances before it’s too late.”
Patrick John Flueger stars alongside Kilmer.
