Comic Book Resources talked to Mark Millar, who said the adaptation of his and John Romita Jr.'s Kick-Ass will start filming on location in New York this August:

"The casting's all been done, and everything's all in line now with that. There's two big names attached, which I can't mention so we can get on the cover of 'Variety.' And now we've got everyone. The kids who show up at the end of issue #3 - we just cast the girl, and that was a really tricky one because we needed to find someone who could do martial arts stuff. So the whole movie's ready to role."

Wanted, based on Millar's graphic novel, hits theaters on Friday.

Is it going to be as accurate as Wanted looks to be?

Which means it's now a biopic about some wrestler?

The comic just started and they're already doing a movie?

Yeah, it's amazing right?

I think Millar was pitching the story to Hollywood and they took it before Romita started drawing it.

'Jesse' from BreaktheFourthWall.com alerted us that on Tuesday they got a chance to talk to Mark Millar, who revealed more details about Kick-Ass. Matthew Vaughn will direct the big screen adaptation of Millar and John Romita Jr.'s title, and last Friday Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloe Moretz were announced as co-stars:

Me and my friends run a blog and Tuesday Aug 19th one of our members got to do an audio interview with Mark Miller during one of his book tours for his new comic War Heroes.

Well during the interview he revealed a little bit more about the Kick-Ass film that was not previously announced.

Including:

That the main character of Dave Lizewski HAS been cast. This happened last week and he is an "unknown actor in America"

Shooting is going to start 3 weeks from now in London, Canada (double for New York) then back to London again.

You can listen to the full audio interview here!

I like the comic book so far. Hopefully the movie works. I think people would dig the movie and it's concept if they do it right.

I don't know about the casting ... It might work.

Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics' Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.

Johnson plays title character, while Fonseca plays the object of the teen's infatuation who believes Dave is gay. Cage is a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse is also in the cast.

A fall shoot in London and Toronto is planned.

Aaron Johnson talked to the Daily Mail about landing the title role in Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass adaptation.

Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.

On Tuesday, Aaron was having wardrobe tests out at Elstree film studios.

'Dave (Lizewski) is just an ordinary guy; he's not geeky, but he's not cool either.

'He gets his kicks dressing up in a makeshift super-hero outfit complete with Timberland boots.

'He goes out to try and find some crime to prevent and ends up getting the hell kicked out of him because, obviously, he's not a real super-hero.

'That's the thing about Kick-Ass,' Aaron explained. 'It's set in the real world and poor old Dave ends up in hospital.'

The article states that shooting starts on September 6 in London, then moves to Toronto, before returning to the U.K. for a further nine weeks of filming.

And there we are.

Wow. That costume actually looks like Kick Ass. I'm honestly shocked. But not so much that my hopes are up.

Yeah, costume looks pathetic enough alright. My hopes are, in fact, up.

new pic

I think that pic looks good.

More pics.

Wow, this looks decent.

Moar news.

SCI FI Wire talked to Mark Millar about his involvement in the Matthew Vaughn-directed Kick-Ass adaptation and he addressed a possible sequel. Here's a clip:

Wanted made $350 million. So that was the thing that opened the doors. I didn't expect that. For some reason I just assumed, "Oh, yeah, this will come out and do OK. If I get another movie at some point, wonderful." But what happened very quickly was that several of the titles got picked up to be made into movies. Kick-Ass. War Heroes. I'm doing American Jesus. Kick-Ass 2 is already being plotted out. We're planning it, because all the actors are quite young and we have to make it relatively quickly. So we'll definitely do that inside the next 18 to 24 months.

You can read the full interview here.

woah. i only read maybe 4 or 5 issues of the comics. this looks pretty cool. but...i'd feel better if i saw pictures of the main guy getting beat up.

Matthew Vaughn is very pleased with KICK-ASS. Having test screened the film a few days ago, he is 100% confident that he has done justice to the Mark Millar/John Romita Jr. comic book - which means he's made a wild, R-rated movie about a high school kid who suddenly decides he wants to become a superhero.

Judging from the second draft of the screenplay he wrote with Jane Goldman, he certainly had the makings of a great movie on the page. I just wasn't sure if all of the narrative's oddball elements - the eleven-year-old schoolgirl assassin Hit Girl in particular - were going to jibe onscreen. But Vaughn, who made this film outside of the studio system (and it's still without a distributor), is calling his shot. And if all goes according to his plan, you'll be checking out KICK-ASS in the first quarter of 2010.

And if you're going to be at Comic Con in two weeks, your reaction could very well help determine the fortunes of KICK-ASS. At 5:45 PM on Thursday in Hall H (where they'll probably still be mopping the floors after the 3:00 AVATAR presentation), Vaughn is going to screen select scenes from the film. This will be the first time anyone outside of the test screening process has seen footage from KICK-ASS, and this will essentially be a make-or-break moment similar to that experienced by Zack Snyder with 300 back in 2006. If the crowd goes wild, it'll be up to some lucky studio to build that buzz in advance of the movie's spring 2010 release. If it falls flat, it'll be THE SPIRIT all over again (without a distributor in place).
I'm reticent to hype the movie up too much, but Vaughn's enthusiasm during our phone interview this morning was palpable. He thinks he's got something special. And since I'm already a believer in his talent (based on LAYER CAKE alone), I'm not about to doubt him.

For more on KICK-ASS, check back Monday morning for my exclusive interview with Vaughn. And for you Comic Con attendees, be sure to muscle your way into Hall H for the Thursday panel, which will feature Vaughn, Nicolas "Big Daddy" Cage, Christopher "Red Mist" Mintz-Plasse, John Romita Jr. and a "special guest".

Im pretty sure thats all that are out are 4 or 5 issues. I tried to get some this weekend or a trade or something and just no luck.

Eight issues are out.

Actually Advocate, there's only six issues out. It keeps getting delayed. #7 is out in August. There were supposed to be eight by now.

The shark jumped on the comic pretty early, maybe the movie diverging will be a good thing.

Oh and Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal are in the running to distribute the film ... finally.

Lionsgate, Paramount and Universal are in the running for the pic, which Vaughn financed independently after some studios found the project’s violence too graphic and some of its dialogue too profanity-laced and opted not to board it at the script stage.

But the Comic-Con event garnered a hugely warm response from the fan universe, which has in turn helped convince the companies to reconsider. Buyer screenings followed the week after Comic-Con, and several studios began circling the pic.

Trailer is up on Myspace

I just read all 7 issues this morning and loved them, can't wait to see what happens in 8. Looks like they're being pretty faithful to 'em but I'm not too sure about McLovin as Red Mist.

mclovin is cool as red mist. I saw a screening of it last month. its absolutely amazing. I loved every minute of it. the cut we saw looked pretty damn complete except for a few shots. and like I said in the " just watched" thread the music was placeholder so I don't know how that will turn out. but honestly I think I saw the best cut of the movie. Nick Cage also does a awsome job as big daddy btw.

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...1&d=1259932498

THAT is rad.

Fucking cool!

I JUST (seriously just got done reading the first 5 chapters) started reading this. I heard this movie was coming out and decided to read the comic first since it was still early. Fuckin' awesome so far. The trailer looks great only problem is that Kick-Ass' suit according to the comic was a wet suit he got off eBay. That doesn't look like the texture for a wet suit. Just sayin'. For some reason that keeps bugging me. Everything else looks cool.

You changing your screenname bothered me, but I got over it. I think you can too.

:lol: I get it.

Quint here writing to you post-BNAT after a short 3 hour nap and massive amounts of pasta with a good two dozen dazed, bleary-eyed BNATers including such web superstars as Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm, Devin Faraci of CHUD and the great turncoat Drew McWeeny currently of Hitfix as well as Tim and Karrie League and some of the coolest cats in attendance at the fest this year. I don’t want to do a blow by blow recap of BNAT… you’re going to be getting tons of that over the next couple of days from far better writers than yours truly, but before focusing on a few specific movies from the event I do want to commend Harry on one of the best programming jobs of any BNAT. I should know, having been fortunate enough to attend every single one. You’ve outdone yourself, Big Red.

Now I do get asked frequently about Butt-Numb-A-Thon as an experience and how that influences one’s opinion on a film. It’s a valid question. Can opinions out of BNAT be trusted or does the energy and the exclusivity of the event feed into a radically different movie-watching perspective that couldn’t possibly be matched by the typical theatrical showing?

I’d be a fool to deny that a great screening can influence one’s opinion of a movie. Look at Harry’s notorious Godzilla review. I was there when he got back from New York, having watched the movie in Madison Square Garden sitting with Muhammad Ali and 10,000 other loudly enthusiastic people. Harry’s enthusiasm for the event and the experience was evident just as much as the crushing look of “Oh shit…” on his face when he rewatched the movie in a regular theater and saw it stripped of all the bells and whistles, leaving a hollow and frankly horrible movie.

It has been widely reported that KICK-ASS’s big premiere at Butt-Numb-A-Thon stole the show from such veteran filmmakers as Peter Jackson, Martin Scorsese and James Cameron in terms of sheer audience enjoyment and that’s 100% true. The audience fucking loved the movie, cheering throughout, laughing at all the in-jokes and comedic moments, clapping in rhythm to the music as Hit Girl painted a bloody masterpiece of gore and violence across the screen and just plain old buzzed about the flick for hours afterwards. Hell, at dinner tonight the conversation was 80% Kick-Ass.

In terms of Kick-Ass’s BNAT reception does the experience make the movie or the movie make the experience? That’s the big question.
In all honesty I can’t give you a definite answer, but my gut reaction is that the movie made the experience and I’ll tell you why.

As raucous as the screening was there was a technical issue that popped up after Hit Girl (the clear audience favorite character) does her first act of carnage about a reel and a half into the film (25-30-ish minutes in). The center speaker literally fizzled out, giving the audio a muted quality not dissimilar to being underwater. The Alamo folks quickly stopped the movie and it took a good 20 minutes to fix.
It wasn’t the perfect screening, but the movie survived the pause in its first big action scene. In a lot of ways it added to the excitement of the crowd. You see, Matthew Vaughn had us all hooked by this point, so instead of the crowd losing steam and interest we started buzzing instead, excitedly talking about the beginning of the movie with our friends and neighbors.

When the Alamo’s crack squad of managers and techies fixed the problem (seriously, it was like watching an elite bomb squad that just spotted an IED on some Iraqi roadside at work) they restarted the movie we got to see Hit Girl’s real introduction again, this time with the correct sound and the audience “Oohed” and “Awed” at the exact same moments… and I include myself in there.

Vaughn’s film is a love letter to super hero comics and movies that manages to stay true to the mythology of those stories while also working as a deconstruction of those archetypes. That’s the dangerous line this movie walks. There are moments of over the top action that would have turned into a Zucker-ish spoof if Vaughn had taken it one step further. And if that had happened it would have ruined the movie.

The cut of the movie we saw was rough. There seemed to be a lot of early render gore… spurting blood, sword stabbings, etc… and there was a temp score in place with some incredibly obvious superhero cues from John Williams’ Superman score, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard’s The Dark Knight score and Danny Elfman’s Batman score. In a strange way using this iconic music only added to the idol worship that is the basis for the main character of the story.

Young Aaron Johnson plays the lead character, Dave Lizewski who is special only in his complete averages. He’s not a dweeb being constantly beaten up. He’s doesn’t belong to any cliques or clubs or sports teams. He’s like many of us were in high school: invisible.
He’s definitely modeled after Peter Parker. I’m sure Mark Millar has admitted to this, but if he hasn’t it’s because it’s so obvious he doesn’t have to.

Dave muses about why there aren’t any people out there trying to emulate superheroes from the comics and movies. Like most teenagers that don’t belong to any distinct group he and his friends spend a lot of time in the local comic shop bullshitting about fictional people, places and events. Hell, I still spend most of time talking about fictional scenarios, but now I’m paid to… so I guess there’s a less losery aspect to that now.

The point is he’s very relatable and Johnson plays him very real. He’s weak, but has a nervous enthusiasm… just as any geek who would decide to give it a shot at being a real life superhero would be.

Just as in the comic his first attempt at stopping a crime in progress gets him hospitalized for months, but also leaves him with a fucked up nervous system that allows him to take more punishment without feeling it. Not that that really helps him fight better, but he can take more punches without collapsing.

Even when Kick-Ass (his chosen superhero name) becomes famous he’s still pretty worthless as a crime fighter. What he does do is inspire others to take up the mantle and that’s where the real fun of the movie comes in.

Aaron Johnson deserves a lot of credit for making the movie work, but I’m afraid it’s Chloe Moretz that is going to steal the show. Just like Natalie Portman did before her, Moretz is going to make her career with this role, playing a daddy’s girl of a different sort.

Nicolas Cage plays her father and the first scene with them both has him, looking creepily like Stanley Tucci’s Mr. Harvey from Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, pointing a gun at his 11 year old daughter in pig-tails saying it’s not going to hurt much. The bullet will feel like someone punching her chest. He pulls the trigger and this cute, smiling innocent-looking little girl goes flying back, her puffy pink vest sending out a puff of cotton.

Cage runs over to her and we see the bullet-proof vest underneath her girly pink jacket. She’s in training and we later find out Cage and Moretz are a father/daughter vigilante duo. These two are no-holds-barred, vicious foul-mouthed fucking animals when they’re on the job, leaving no evidence behind… and not witnesses either.

While Cage is great as Big Daddy, in his Batman-ish outfit (complete with black suit and yellow utility belt and exaggerated Adam West style of speech) it’s Chloe Moretz’s Hit-Girl that got the audience in an uproar. Here’s this innocent little girl slicing and dicing through drug dealers, dropping c-bombs and saying shit that’d make a sailor blush and doing it all within a real performance of a little girl trying to make her father proud.

Hit-Girl has the best action of the movie which is made even better by her age. I mean, it’s one thing to see Uma Thurman slice through a dozen Crazy 88s, but to see an 11 year old girl do it? While calling the bad guys cunts no less? Priceless and so damn ballsy that you can’t help respect the crazy hard, hard, hard R rated movie Matthew Vaughn pushed through.

Also of note is Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the son of the crime boss (the fantastic Mark Strong who plays Frank D’Amico as an Elias Koteasish family man who just happens to murder people to keep his drug trafficking running smoothly) who is also inspired by Kick-Ass. His Red Mist is flashier and just as useless as a real deal crime fighter as Kick-Ass is, but he’s the son of a rich man, so he has flashier toys.

Mintz-Plasse’s biggest challenge post-Superbad was shaking loose the McLovin label and actually have a chance at a career. He’s not there yet, but his role here is the biggest step away from that pigeonhole that he’s taken so far. And if they’re doing what I think they’re doing to his character we might see him take even bigger steps in future films (God willing).

Make no mistake about it Kick-Ass lives up to its name and does so precisely because it was made outside the studio system. Lionsgate picked it up and, much to their credit, have taken on a tough sell without forcing any changes on Vaughn. If the movie’s a success it’s because of their gamble in releasing a movie that is willing to push the envelope on audience expectation.

But above all this movie is just fun from start to finish. It’s badass, it’s cool, it’s funny, it’s sad… that’s all good, but the fun is what I took away from the movie, what I assume most of the Butt-Numb-A-Thon audience took away from the movie. If I was trying to get a quote on the poster I’d call it “a great time at the movies.” Shit… I just did that, didn’t i? But it’s true.

Despite an unintended intermission and rough effects the movie blew the roof off the Alamo Drafthouse at 8 in the morning when wedged in-between the world premiere of the Iron Man 2 trailer and James Cameron’s first science-fiction war movie since Terminator 2… and the reason for that? Kick-Ass gave us something different, something smart, something extremely well executed, but most of all something hugely entertaining. It’s just a great time at the movies.

According to Mark Millar, Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie is “incredibly informal” and “actually really frank”, which will make a refreshing change from the truckloads of rather insipid tie-in books I’ve thumbed through for two minutes while having a coffee in Borders - each of them seemingly designed to numb me into considering their subject movie utterly lacking in any kind of controversy or even life and therefore ’safe’ to go see.

Just some examples of the juicy stuff contained within this Kick-Ass tome: concept art for both the comic and the movie, interviews with the talent, candid e-mail exchanges between Millar and director Matthew Vaughn, and some little bits and pieces about versions of the story that we’ll never get to see. For example, Nicolas Cage may have ended up playing Big Daddy but when he signed on, the filmmakers had already talked to both Mark Wahlberg and Daniel Craig about the role; and while Dave Lizewski may well have ended up the key character, initially, Millar was planning to tell the story from the point of view of Hit Girl and Big Daddy.

Millar has been talking to Comic Book Resources about the ‘making of’ book with his characteristic enthusiasm. Asked if there’s more to come after the first comics volume is done and the film is out, he proudly declares that there is:

Are you kidding me? Kick-Ass is the most fun I’ve ever had ever on a project. It’s not only the best response Johnny [Romita Jr., the artist] and I have ever had, but we outsold everybody. Every issue had three, four, five printings. And our overall sales are more than 130,000 per issue. We always saw this as at least a trilogy. There might even be more. I had the whole second series worked out two years ago.

What does he reveal of the second storyline? Nothing much, but for another attention-grabbing name:

The working title is Balls to the Wall, and we’re thinking about launching it round about San Diego time, right around August. But to avoid delays, we’d like to stockpile a few issues, I think.

By that time, the first film should have been sufficiently well received, and hopefully well rewarded in dollars, that Balls to the Wall won’t just be a comics series and will get the big screen treatment too.
The CBR interview with Millar contains some previews of the concept art that will be published in the book. Here’s just one sample piece ...

"Kick-Ass is a movie that will have you on your feet, cheering your fucking guts out."

Awesome. It's gonna be a long wait for this to come out in April.

Why is this coming out in April? Such a long wait.

Cause it only gained a Studio to release it, since Sundance.

It's also still under a rating process, but all signs point to Hard R.

That review was awesome. I really really really wanna watch this film.

lol it's in the shape of a giant cock

So Good

YAY!

LOL!

I've decided to avoid any more clips and trailers, I'll just wait for the movie. Keep it at maximum goodness that way.

I don't think i would be able to.

Have you read the book? It's more or less scene for scene.

I'm thinking about waiting on reading it until after I see the movie

No I have not, Chux,

You need to stop what you're doing and go see this as soon as fucking possible.

Some highlights:

- "Fuck you Mr. Bitey!"
- Lost reference was LOL
- First-person shooter scene was beyond epic
- Bad guy falling onto his own shotgun that was holding was insane

This is getting kind of tepid reviews :\

Well of course, it was getting rave reviews because the people who had seen it before are fans, or knew what they were getting into. I think Ebert gave it a 1 out of 4, so yeah.

I totally agree! I saw it last night and I believe its one of the best I've seen so far this year!

Harry Knowles loves it, which makes me increasingly cautious. I'll probably still see it, but with way low expectations.

Then again, how high can your expectations be for a movie called Kick Ass?

Ebert's review is decidely old man. He seems to just take offence of the Hit Girl character.

Pretty much every bad review I've seen was based completely on the fact that it's really gory and has an 11 year old girl saying 'cunt'

Fogies.

Nevermind the fact she snorts cocaine to "power up"

Goddamn it! I missed this last night because of work. I hope there is a rowdy crowd tonight...

Fuck what the reviews say, this movie had it all; it was made for TNL. I want to see this again and I don't know if I can wait until it hits bluray. It really is that good.

So it doesn't hold back? Good. I was worried much of made the comic what it was would just not be acceptable in a movie.

Does Hit Girl still get smashed in the face with a meat tenderizer? Do they keep those really bad cringes in there?

I couldn't give half a fuck what the reviews say. It just proves that the distance between what crusty old critics and audiences think continues to grow and grow. I'm so, so tired of the cookie-cutter drivel Hollywood shits out on a daily basis. If Kick-Ass crosses every line and offends all the old men reviewing it, I'm happy. I should be seeing this tonight, and I'm really hoping it'll live up to my expectations; that it'll be funny, off-beat, and brutal as all hell.

Exactly. Kick-Ass isn't a movie that will review well. It doesn't need to, it's audience won't care about what other people say. For that matter it might as well not even have comercials on regular tv.

No, that didn't happen.

Only downside was that all the trailers and shit kinda killed some of the awesome moments, but there's still plenty of other crazy shit that went down.

Nic Cage was surprisingly funny in this. "Ah, child.." But that doesn't mean he didn't get moments where he showed off how shitty his acting is.

I just read some shit that happens in the comic. Two things that happened in the comic that don't in the movie is Hit-Girl snorting cocaine and Big Daddy ended up being a phony. I would've loved to see the first one, but the second one maybe only the comic geeks will care about.

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
No cocaine no sale! Jokes, I'm seeing it at 9.

Somebody also said the end with the love interest is different.

Sounds like my next date movie!

Seeing this tomorrow. Shit's awesome.

I must point out that, while I respect Roger Ebert a great deal, he's a total asshole in his Kick-Ass review. He completely spoils the ending, which ANY film critic knows is a total no-no. Pretty low-class, Rog.

All he did in that review is bitch about 11 year old killing bad guys and how it will make all other kids become morally corrupted. And then he did that spoil shit. Asshat.
