The live action Underdog feature (see 'Mouse House Fights All Who Rob and Plunder') will start shooting next week, with Peter Dinklage cast as the villainous Simon Barsinister.  Dinklage is best known for his role in arthouse hit The Station Agent. 

This marks the second major superhero parody film (along with Superhero! (see 'Superhero Spoof for Christmas') now in the pipeline, although probably only Underdog has licensing potential for pop culture retailers.
