Pfft...showoff...
If you were in New York City recently and double-took something in the air as a flying person, turns out you were half-right.
To promote Chronicle, an upcoming film surrounding three teenagers who get superpowers, three radio-controlled planes that were designed to look like people and flew them around the city.
It brings up those dreams we all had wishing we could just magically fly around in the air, breaking the rules of gravity with mystical propulsion with only the thought of wanting to go up.
Though I’m sure people mistook it as model planes that were oddly shaped, it was still a neat concept to sell a big part of what the movie was about -- being teenagers with superpowers.
In fact, most movies involving superpowers or unexplainable attributes usually occur around the early-to-late teen years.
This is most likely because when we’re going through all those tough times of puberty, we’d much rather be able to run super fast or see through walls than break our voices.
I remember watching the Superman movies when I was little and imagining how awesome it would be to live in the shoes of Clark Kent. That element of secrecy, and being invincible seemed so interesting. That is until I saw the old Spiderman cartoons, but that’s a whole different story.
The film Jumper highlighted the ability to travel to any place on Earth. I would’ve loved to be in Jumper (let me rephrase that, I wouldn’t want to just act in the film, just take the powers).
What film/TV show/book made you dream of having powers?
