This is the summer of Superman, so there really should be no cross promotion surprises. Superman happy heals, bubble gum, magazines… you name it it’s out there. So how about a Superman murder mystery - didn’t expect that, didja?

Focus Features and Allen Coulter are bringing Hollywoodland to screens, a movie that features Adrian Brody as an investigator in the death of the original Superman, George Reeves. For an independent film, the movie certainly has a bulk of stars – Brody, Bob Hoskins, Diane Lane, and Ben Affleck as Reeves himself. I know what you’re thinking – Affleck? But if the new trailer is any indication, this movie looks amazing.

Coulter has really only directed television until now, making Hollywoodland his theatrical debut as a director. Again, if the trailer is telling he may have quite the film career ahead of him. We’ll have to wait until the movie’s early September release to find out for certain.
