Beaks here...
To help raise awareness for the November 5th theatrical release of the animated supervillain comedy MEGAMIND, DreamWorks Animation and Will Ferrell have decided to take a crack at the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of superheroes. And if you're going to be in the L.A. area on Saturday October 2nd, they'd love for you to don some spandex, throw on a mask, and join them in making history.
The record attempt will officially take place downtown at L.A. Live at 10 AM, so you should probably plan on arriving a half-hour early or so to stake out a spot amid this odd agglomeration of costumed goofballs. According to the below press release, you'll need to "arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film." To break the record, Ferrell will need to be surrounded by over 1,501 participants - because, evidently, there was once a Guinness certified gathering of 1,500 superheroes.
For those interested, here are the details...
WHO: Will Ferrell (aka Megamind), DreamWorks Animation and Guinness World Records
WHAT: Join Will Ferrell and 1,500 of his closest costumed superhero friends as they attempt to make heroic history and claim the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of Superheroes. The Mega-event hosted by DreamWorks Animation is open to all caped crusaders wishing to join the fun.
To qualify for the record attempt, all interested participants must arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. The feat will be judged by official Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Spokesperson, Stuart Claxton and will require a minimum of 1,501 superheroes to break the current world record.
The world record attempt will mark the kickoff of MegaMonth, an official month dedicated to Mega-events across the country in celebration of the release of MEGAMIND on November 5th.
