My thoughts and stuff…
We’ve gotten quite the run-around from Adam McKay about his potential adaptation of THE BOYS. One second he wants it, and the next second he has potential casting, but is unsure if it’ll happen. Now it seems it has come to fruition, and Adam McKay is definitely on board for now. Continue reading “Adam McKay will do THE BOYS after all”
Comic book scribe Mark Millar has been in the public eye quite a bit in the past couple of years. Between the film adaptations of WANTED and the upcoming KICK-ASS (which has gotten a ridiculous amount of hype), he has become somewhat of a household name. Now it seems he wants to take a more direct (pun intended) connection to the general public.
Millar talked to IGN about an upcoming superhero film which he plans to direct. He claims that it is very different from the usual superhero film. Sadly, he doesn’t let out too much more about the film, but does admit that it will be filmed in Scotland this summer. He also says that he will probably take it on the festival circuit after Christmas. Continue reading “Mark Millar to direct an independently financed superhero film”
The neverending onslaught of KICK-ASS media is still in full force, and this might just be the best thing we’ve gotten. Although the original red-band trailer was extremely awesome, this one lets us in on the story a little bit more. I have to admit, the story was never really what had me sold on this film – until now, that is.
It seems that they are putting a lot of characterization into the film while obviously not letting the humor go sour. It is also extremely odd, yet always funny, hearing Hit-Girl say some of the extremely profane things that come out of her mouth.

I know, I should be tired of the endless onslaught of KICK-ASS posters, trailers, pictures, and other marketing promotions they have done. But the movie looks so incredibly kick-ass that every single thing that is released gets me doubly stoked. Now Empire wants their shot at the KICK-ASS hype train, and they deliver big (daddy) time.
Empire has released pictures of their upcoming March issue that will include a fold-out cover featuring some of the main heroes. The cover features Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, and Big Daddy on an extremely stylized cover. I usually wouldn’t pick up a magazine for this sort of thing, but it looks really awesome. This film is easily one of this year’s films that I am most excited to see.

I haven’t heard anybody speak ill of KICK-ASS, probably because it looks so good. Not only that, but it’s getting some serious buzz. As we reported the other day, KICK-ASS will be the SXSW festival opener. Now, they are trying to tease us even further, by putting out this new trailer.

KICK-ASS was recently shown at Harry Knowles’ (of Ain’t It Cool News fame) Butt-Numb-A-Thon 24 hour movie marathon in Austin, and was received very strongly by the crowd. I know first-hand that this movie is one of the biggest topics at comic shops right now. Needless to say, this film is getting some buzz. Although the movie had some trouble finding distributors, it is now on the fast track to being one of the best and biggest films of 2010.
Lionsgate has been flooding us with awesome KICK-ASS stuff lately to pump us up. First we got the teaser trailer, followed by awesome character posters of Kick-Ass, Red Mist, Big Daddy, and now Hit-Girl. I just have to say, all the characters look really great. I am so excited for this movie to come out.
