‘Alter Egos’ Movie Trailer, Poster, and Photos Put Superheroes in the Real World

Since the superhero movie took over Hollywood, there have been some genuinely interesting indie efforts relating to the genre, along with R-rated efforts like ‘Kick-Ass’ and ‘Super’, and upcoming comedy ‘Alter Egos’ looks to offer a whole new perspective on the fictional heroes we choose to admire. Set in a world where superheroes are known about and accepted, this poster and trailer demonstrates how tenuous their grip on reality could be should they really exist in our world.

Losing government funding and support at the start of the film, we see them navigate their individual emotional breakdowns accompanied by the powers and responsibility that come with the job. Having already premiered at the July Fantasia Film Festival, the film was given a limited theatrical released on October 19 and will be available to watch online from November 20, 2012.
