DEFENDOR’s Poster Gives Us an Intense Woody

He’s so serious and mysterious, but Woody Harrelson looking off-camera in this new festival poster for DEFENDOR, courtesy of IMP Awards, looks, plain and simple, like he’s about to kick some bad guy ass.   The film, which had its world premiere at this year’s Toronto Film Festival, is garnering some critical acclaim on the fest circuit.   I can’t, however, shake the feeling that its premise, that of an ordinary but delusional man who believes he is a superhero, sounds a bit like SPECIAL, which has been running around film festivals for the better part of three years, now.

DEFENDOR is set to be released in Canada sometime later this year, so a US release date may not be too far off.   Until then, we can just sit back and gleem at Harrelson’s intense look as he’s about to take down some bad guys.
