The Avenged tells the story of a comic book writer who takes on the guise of his fictional creation after his wife and child are murder.

I wish I had more on the film, because it sounds cool, it’s still in the earlier stages of development, and there isn’t much news out right now.

Trailer

What’s Good About It?

The idea seems sound. Hopefully they take it serious. It could be cool

What’s Bad About It?

A lot of unknowns so far. The actors and director don’t have much experience, and the film could end up a really bad direct to video release.

Our Clever Prediction

I’m giving it a chance, but only until I’ve seen the trailer. I need to get a feel for the tone before I commit to it. Still, I doubt it’ll make much money at the box office.
