With Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim vs The World already generating buzz, it appears that 2010 will be the year of the unorthodox superhero.

Now you can add another one to the gang, with news that an indie superhero movie Griff the Invisible is currently shooting in Sydney, Australia.

Griff the Invisible stars Ryan Kwanten ("True Blood") and Maeve Dermody (Black Water, Beautiful Kate) and tells the story of what happens when Griff - office worker by day, superhero by night - has his world turned upside down when he meets Melody, a beautiful young scientist who shares his passion for the impossible.

"It is a super hero movie and it is a comedy, but at its core it's a simple love story about two very unique individuals finding each other and giving the other the strength to be what they want to be," said director Leon Ford from set.

This marks Ford's first feature as director, after a string of acclaimed short films and years as an actor - recently in HBO's long-awaited massive TV series "The Pacific".

Griff is one of several genre movies currently being shot Down Under, along with The Reef, Road Train and Summer Coda.

It also marks what is possibly the first Aussie superhero movie since Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee faced off in superhero musical spoof The Return of Captain Invincible (seriously).

The film also stars awesome local actors Heather Mitchell, Toby Schmitz, Anthony Phelan and David Webb and is produced by Nicole O'Donohue, who previously produced a range of short films including Nash Edgerton's Spider.
