New Guinness World Records Achievement Awarded to Heroic Crowd on Saturday, October 2nd
Los Angeles, CA (Oct 2, 2010) - Will Ferrell and 1,580 of his closest costumed superhero friends united on Saturday, October 2nd and made heroic story as they loaded the current Guinness World Records title for Largest Assembly of Superheroes.
The Mega-event was opened to caped crusaders everywhere and was hosted by DreamWorks Animation to keep the November 5th release of MEGAMIND.
"We just broke the register for the biggest gathering of super heroes to rush off Megamonth. If everyone would only rest in their costumes for all of October, we could give another one."- Will Ferrell on Saturday, after breaking the Guinness World Record
The attack commenced promptly at 10:00 a.m. as superheroes swooped into L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. To stipulate for the record attempt, participants had to get dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. A minimal of 1,501 superheroes were required to break the old world record.
Will Ferrell, alongside Megamind, took to the level at L.A. LIVE to extend his circle of superhero supporters into the register books. The effort was witnessed by official Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Spokesperson, Stuart Claxton, who judged and verified the attempt adhered to the strict guidelines of the book category before he announcement that the record had been successful broken.
The public record setting event marked the beginning of MegaMonth, an official month dedicated to Mega-events across the area in celebration of the upcoming DreamWorks Animation release of MEGAMIND, starring the voices of Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt.
