Breaking News: Michele Morrone, known from 365 Days, Franco Nero from Django, and Ana Golja are the latest additions to join the ensemble cast of the Italian superhero movie, Bunny-Man, alongside big names like Mike Tyson, Bella Thorne, and James Franco.
The project is being marketed by Motus Studios at the American Film Market, with Andrea Iervolino, who is known for Ferrari, serving as the producer. Intriguingly, the filmmaker himself is set to portray the character of Bunny-Man, a role shrouded in mystery and secrecy.
Production is set to commence in Italy next week, with a significant portion of the filming happening on a virtual set. Mike Tyson, who is currently preparing for a boxing match against Jake Paul, has already completed his role in the movie. This film is being planned as the first chapter of a trilogy.
The storyline of Bunny-Man revolves around an unidentified, wealthy superhero who combats evil while donning a rabbit mask. His primary motivation stems from the desire to seek revenge for his sister, who took her life following an assault, the images of which were leaked on the internet. The below images provide a glimpse of the character and a press conference held earlier this year featuring Mike Tyson.
Iervolino announced today that a music single will be released in conjunction with the film as part of the project.
In Iervolino’s words, “Bunny-Man has the potential to redefine our perception of superheroes. The character is a blend of mystery and contemporary elements, not just in his narrative but also in the way audiences connect with him. It’s an honor to produce Italy’s first superhero franchise, and I have full faith that it will make a significant impact on the international market.”
Emanuele Moretti, the CEO of Motus Studios, expressed his confidence in the project, stating, “We strongly believe in the commercial potential of Bunny-Man; we sincerely think it can mark the beginning of a unique independent superhero saga.”
