A New Trailer For SPECIAL!

by Todd Brown, October 18, 2008 10:55 AM

Not such a big fan of that poster but, yes indeed, I am more than a little bit fond of the film it promotes, that being Special, the superhero comedy starring Michael Rapaport from directors Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore, neither of whom has made another film since this one and both of whom need to so somebody give them some money, quick.

But I digress. Rapaport is Les, a clinically depressed meter maid who volunteers to take part in clinical trials of a new anti-depression drug. And, sure, he ends up a whole lot less depressed but also believing that he has super powers. This film was the opening night gala of the very first Toronto After Dark two solid years ago and has been stuck in bad distributor hell since, but will finally be arriving on VOD and in a limited theatrical run in November and there's a brand new trailer to prove it. Check it out along with the earlier trailers below the break.

This trailer was awesome. I never thought I'd find Michael Rapaport funny after that awful FOX sitcom, but that was hilarious.
Does anyone know if it's going to be rereleased in theatres?

I knew Rapaport had it in him.

Still am more of a fan of the original trailer for Special, with it's great use of that odd song. This should be a unique movie. Glad it's finally making it out.
