Comic Book: the Movie

USA 2002
Release: Slated for November, 2003

Synopsys:
Still in the post production stage, this film is atongue-in-cheek (with serious intentions) look at the profusion of "comic book to film" movies of late and the mega studios' apparent disregard (or distain) for the original characterization of the comic book heroes for more modern, "kewler" versions. Mark plays Donald Swan, the self-proclaimed ultimate fanboy, who is hired by Timely Studios to do a documentary on the upcoming "Codename: Courage" live-action film of his favorite comic book hero, Commander Courage. What the big shots at Timely don't know is that Don has other plans as he aims his "satiric sights" toward busting their golden balloon! This film within a film follows Don Swan as he directs his documentary and attempts to right what he considers an unpardonable wrong. Notes - Filmed on location at the 2002 San Diego Comic Con in a mere two days time, the film stars some of today's greatest voice-over artists and boasts cameos from Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, Hugh Hefner, Sid Ceasar, Jonathan Winters and more!
