Producer Michael Morrissey is ready to make the jump from producing to directing and if the trailer for his first feature is any indication, he’s about to arrive with a bang.

Taglined “Beware the Hero,” Boy Wonder isn’t your caped crusader hero film. Heck, it doesn’t even truly follow the recent batch of awkward super hero’s we’ve been seeing of late (Kick-Ass (review) and Defendor (review) come to mind) as he has no bright costume but Sean Donovan is a hero none the less.

After witnessing the brutal killing of his mother, Sean grows up obsessed with finding her killer. A good student by day and vigilante hunter of bad guys by night, the boundaries of right and wrong begin to blur and his dual lives begin to collide.

The trailer is pretty amazing, cutting between Sean’s past and his present with great speed and short glimpses while never losing site of the mystery it's building or losing the audience. It’s a little jarring but extremely effective.

Trailer after the break.
