Mark Millar to direct an independently financed superhero film

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”

Another new KICK-ASS trailer

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.

Hit-Girl character poster is KICK-ASS

HIT GIRL CUT

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.
