It's a bird, it's a plane ... No, it's another major 'Superman' casting announcement.

Yep. New York's biggest parade is being made into a Hollywood movie. What's next, a film based on a gum wrapper?
Producers Scott Glassgold and Ramond Brothers of IAM Entertainment have bought the rights to develop a film based on the annual parade. Says The Hollywood Reporter:
Back in 2009, a little movie called "The Hangover" came out. Aside from feeling like someone had followed me to at least one drunken outing and made a movie out of it, the movie was, in my opinion, comedy gold.
Now, I've never been "Punched Out" by Mike Tyson (if you catch this pun, you're an old school gamer) for stealing his tiger or kidnapped an asian mob boss but almost every guy who's ever drank too much and watched this movie had to think there was at least one of his friends involved in the writing process.
I'm always hesitant to think any movie could benefit from a sequel but "The Hangover" is one of the few on my list that I've wondered if they could top themselves. Apparently, someone else wondered the exact same thing...
