ARCHENEMY
In theaters and on demand Dec 11, 2020!
“Max Fist was the greatest hero of a vast city in another universe. He saved his world from destruction but crashed through space and time... and wound up here - a desolate American suburb. Or so he says.
Powerless, a broken drunk telling stories about his glory days — stories that no one believes, until he meets Hamster, a kid who wants to be a famous writer who believes Max’s story. Max finally has someone who believes him, and Hamster has someone who he thinks won’t let him down.
But things fall apart when Hamster’s sister Indigo steals $100,000 from the mob. Max will try to learn what it means to be a hero — here, now, without superpowers — one brutal blow at a time.”
This story is about characters fighting for an impossible dream. It's about what happens when our memories of a glorious past, and our hopes for a glorious future, smash against the violent reality of where we are now. And it's about trying to change that reality altogether.
Told as a gritty, immediate, street-level crime story, with flashbacks to the heightened action of Max's past — a past that may or may not be real. The epic superhero mythology blends with modern noir style in a story about characters who are trying to grapple with reality... like all of us.

LEGION M’S INVOLVEMENT
On Thursday, November 14th, 2019, Legion M announced its involvement in the project. Joining forces with SpectreVision for a second time (the first time being our film Mandy with Nicolas Cage), Legion M served as executive producer and financier on the film.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
Legion M was excited to be a part of this project from the very beginning! Our early and significant involvement in the film meant that we could offer the Legion exclusive opportunities, including a chance to be on set, ways to contribute creative that will directly impact the production and marketing of the film, and a call to action to be a part of the film itself!
VISITING THE SET
We offered Legion M investors a chance to become our special guests and join Legion M on location in Los Angeles for the filming of Archenemy! Prizes included lunch with the crew, a tour of the set, and watching the movie come to life. While the set visits are over, stay tuned for some exclusive behind the scenes content with our investors!
GET INVOLVED IN THE FILM
Legion M was excited to offer our members an opportunity to be a part of the production! Archenemy had a few remaining production needs, and we reached out to our members to assist in the process. Not only did many of our members get chosen, but one lucky investor had his car used as the hero car in the film!
Check out the list of production needs that we offered to our community for the filming of Archenemy.
