The upcoming superhero movie Bunny-Man has unveiled first-look images. The movie, set to begin filming in Italy, recently welcomed Michele Morrone, Franco Nero, and Ana Golja aboard to join a cast that already includes Mike Tyson, Bella Thorne, and James Franco.

Per Deadline, the movie's producer, Andrea Iervolino, will be the character of Bunny-Man himself, "whose real identity is a closely guarded secret." Bunny-Man, which Motus Studios is selling at the American Film Market, will mostly shoot in a virtual set. Tyson, who has a fight coming up in a few days against Jake Paul, has, however, completed his own part in the film, which is intended to be the first part in a proposed trilogy. Bunny-Man will feature an anonymous multimillionaire superhero who fights evil wearing a rabbit mask. The character is fueled by the desire to seek retribution for his sister, who kills herself after being attacked, images of which end up on the internet.

Lervolino also revealed that the project will come with the release of a music single alongside the Bunny-Man movie. The producer believes the upcoming movie will be a game changer for the superhero genre. "I believe Bunny-Man will revolutionize the way we think of superheroes," Lervolino said. "This character embodies both mystery and modernity, not just in his story but in how the audience relates to him. It’s a privilege to produce Italy’s first superhero franchise, and I’m confident it will leave a lasting impact on the global market."

I'm not normally one for the romances, but my goodness it's so sweet and soothing

The bizarre ‘bit’ on last Saturday’s Late Late Show in which US presenter Conan O’Brien was coaxed into mocking the Irish-language names of people in the audience was an illustration of this self-loathing colonial cringe. Evidently, the Anglocentric mind finds great amusement in different languages having different phonetic systems.

Late Late Show audience members denigrating the Irish language, couching this ridicule as ‘humour’.

Everyone thinks Bram Stoker in 1897 was the Irishman who brought vampires out of Romanian folklore into the mainstream, but Le Fanu scooped him by 25 years.

It's a quick read, about three hours.
