Kick Ass

Kick-Ass 2, or Kick-Ass: Balls To The Wall to give it its official title, is definitely happening, with a 2012 release scheduled. And I can’t wait, having loved the first film and the comic it was based on.
The man who created the comic book and all the characters therein, including the magnificent Hit Girl (pictured […]

Jane Goldman is writing the screenplay for X-Men: First Class, at least according to her husband Jonathan Ross speaking on Twitter earlier today.
Ross actually began by referring to the film as X-Men 4, leading some to speculate that this was actually a fourth full X-Men movie. But he has since clarified his comments, and made […]

As regular readers will likely already be aware, I’m a huge fan of the Kick-Ass movie. Having watched it blossom from a mere idea into a living, breathing comic and movie, I finally saw the film and was not disappointed.
So news that a sequel is likely on the way has made my day.
The news comes […]

Kick-Ass is one of those films whose progress I have followed right from the off through to its release on the big screen. Having written about the movie for 18 months, tonight was the night I finally got to see how it turned out.
Thankfully, it turned out very well indeed.
I haven’t read the Kick-Ass graphic […]

With Kick-Ass already doing very well in Europe, both commercially and critically, and its release in the U.S. still to come, talking about a sequel would seem to be a little premature. But let’s do it anyway.
I should be seeing the film this week, and posting my review here on Snarkerati of course. But everything […]

Kick-Ass is here, or almost here depending on which country you live in. I can’t wait to see the film, having covered the amateur superhero movie since I first heard about it.
The star of the film, or at least one of the stars of the film alongside Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz, Aaron Johnson, recently […]

It appears some people really aren’t as keen on the forthcoming Kick-Ass as I am. In fact, they’d like to see it banned due to the bad language and extreme violence. But, but that’s what makes it so damn cool, you lightweight plebs.
I suspected Kick-Ass would get this kind of reaction in the U.S., where […]

Kick-Ass is probably the film I’m most looking forward to seeing in 2010; it’s certainly right up there alongside Iron Man 2, Alice In Wonderland and a host of others due out over the next 12 (well, 11 now) months.
The man behind Kick-Ass is Matthew Vaughn, previously best known for directing Stardust. But Vaughn isn’t […]

I really hope my belief in Kick-Ass is rewarded by a truly kick-ass movie. I’ve been keeping my eye on Kick-Ass - the Matthew Vaughn comic-book adaptation - since the summer of 2008 when the first cast members were announced.
At the time, Kick-Ass was an independent film, with Vaughn believing in it enough to raise […]

Kick-Ass is one film I’ve been looking forward since the day I first heard about it. The problem was that until a couple of days ago it didn’t actually have a distributor outside the United States and Canada
August saw Lionsgate nab the distribution rights for Kick-Ass in North America. But it’s taken three months for […]
