Source: /FilmDespite the good-not-great green band trailer from last month (posted below), Kick-Ass is currently my most eagerly anticipated movie of 2010. Why? Let's ask the official plot synopsis:
"A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings KICK-ASS to the big screen. KICK-ASS tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes – including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) – and forges a friendship with another fledgling superhero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test."
According to all the buzz, the key word in this synopsis is "twisted". We're talking high impact violence, filthy language, and apparently a father shooting his 11-year old daughter in the chest. Check out a newly released clip from the film featuring Moretz and Cage (who might actually give a decent performance?!) and maybe get a bit more of an understanding as to why I cannot wait for this film.
Also the somewhat disappointing but still pretty clever teaser trailer:
Finally, a few posters:
Kick-Ass will be in theatres in North America from April 16th 2010
