 Mystery Men is being directed
by commercial-veteran director Kinka Usher, who makes his feature
film directorial debut. Based on the Dark Horse comic, Mystery
Men casts Stiller, Azaria, Macy, Reubens, Studi, Garofalo and
Mitchell as seven lame superhero wannabes, who are called upon
to use their dubious "powers" to save a bustling metropolis
when Champion City's beloved real superhero-protector, Captain
Amazing (Greg Kinnear), is kidnapped. The wannabe heroes square
off against the vile villain, Casanova Frankenstein (Academy
Award winner Geoffrey Rush), and his beautiful sidekick, Dr.
Anabel Leek (Lena Olin), as they try to stop Casanova's dastardly
plot to take over the city. Neil Cuthbert and Brent Forrester
wrote the screenplay based on the Dark Horse comic created by
Bob Burden.
