When updating the 2009 Upcoming Releases page I noticed how close we are until the end of the year! Say it ain't so! The good news is it means we are that much closer to 2010 which has a lot of fun looking releases in store. Let's have a look at 2010 films that have had trailers released recently. How to Train Your Dragon is an animated 3D film set in a land where dragons are pests, or are they? The...
Those sneaky French! Last week, Lionsgate debuted the teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass. Because of an accidental early leak, that teaser kind of got lost in the mix with the Clash of the Titans trailer (which was also released the same day). So, in an effort to give this great trailer some time in the spotlight on its own, and also because it's pretty cool to see with commentary, I'm featuring...
Watchmen may have beaten them to the punch, but that's not going to stop this group of angst ridden youngsters suiting up and serving out some homemade justice. Kick-Ass directed by Matthew Vaughn ( Stardust ) is adapted from the Mark Millar/John Romita Jr Marvel comic book of the same name. Enthusiastic teenager Dave Lizewski takes his love for comic books to the next level by becoming a superhero....
I’ve been keeping an eye on the upcoming movie Kick-Ass, based on the comic book series from Mark Millar. While I still haven’t read the comic, I’ve heard great things about it, plus I really did like Wanted and The Ultimates from Millar. It’s written (the screenplay that is, together with Jane Goldman) and directed [...] Related posts: Trailerrific: Wargames, Dinosaurs and...
"I can't fly. But I can kick your ass." Yesterday evening the teaser trailer for Kick-Ass hit the web, finally introducing everyone to Mark Millar's awesome comic book "super" hero. In addition to that trailer, a new poster has popped up on MySpace, a one-off teaser poster not like the four connected ones we featured last week. As you can tell, Lionsgate is obviously going with...
It seems odd, but we haven't really talked much about Stardust and Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn's next film, Kick-Ass. It's a pretty fun (and supposedly shockingly gritty and violent) looking project, about a dorky kid who simply decides to...
While I have mixed feelings about the new trailer for the upcoming ' Clash of the Titans ,' the first trailer for the movie adaptation of Mark Millar and JRJR's ' Kick-Ass ' makes my heart swell like the Grinch saving the sled filled with toys. I don't know if that's due to my enjoyment of the comic, or the music used in the trailer -- 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' AND Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation'? A...
A teaser trailer for the movie adaptation of the popular comic book Kick-Ass has finally been release and it looks awesome! Kick-Ass is a movie about an average American teenager, Dave who takes his interest in comic books to a whole new level and decides to become a superhero that fights crime. Dave is played by British actor, Aaron Johnson, 19 who is engaged to film-maker Sam Tyler-Wood, 42. It's...
Wow, did not expect to see this until Friday! The first teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass , his beautifully violent adaptation of Mark Millar's comic series, has arrived online via the official website . Holy f*ckin' hell this looks so awesome. I've been a fan of the comic series since it hit and I've been excited for this movie since it was first announced. I knew that Vaughn would deliver!...
What’s looking to be almost certainly the most controversial comic book movie of 2010 is starting to take it’s marketing campaign into high gear with the release of posters for “Kick-Ass.” For those of you not in the know, it’s Mathew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr.’s comic book about a teen [...]
After footage from the film debuted at Comic-Con, Kick-Ass immediately became one of next year's most anticipated fanboy movies. There was a bidding war to secure the rights for the young non-superheroes superhero movie, which Lionsgate eventually won. The irony is the subject matter and the tone kept all the studios away from Mark Millar 's comic book title before director Matthew Vaughn ( Stardust,...
It's certainly looking like KICK-ASS was a gamble that will pay off. Director Matthew Vaughn (STARDUST, LAYER CAKE) independently financed the movie, based on the high-concept shock book by WANTED comic writer Mark Millar. Massive fan response at Comic Con then led to a studio bidding war, and now Lionsgate has the movie coming out in April (with enough confidence to bump Sly's THE EXPENDABLES from...
Freakin' sweet! IGN has debuted the first four character posters for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass tonight. By now everyone has probably heard about this (or seen the leaked Comic-Con footage), so I don't think it needs an elaborate introduction. Kick-Ass is the adaptation of Mark Millar's awesome comic series about a kid who decides to dress up and be a superhero. While it could've been a goofy, Hollywood...
THE story of Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts is a step closer to becoming a film after Becoming Jane director Julian Jarrold was approached to helm the project.
José Cruz draws Robert De Niro as he would appear in his many movie roles. This one is Robert De Niro as Captain Shakespeare, the skyship pirate captain with another side to him in Matthew Vaughn's fantasy film Stardust. A good movie. (Thanks Queenie)
