Here's the movie's Hit Girl, looking nothing like the comics. Oh well.
It’s still in the air whether or not I trek on down to Comic-Con, but this is definitely an incentive to go. Matthew Vaughn plans to premier some footage of Kick-Ass and that, well, kicks ass.
A specific time hasn’t been given, but Superherohype expects it somewhere near the tail end of Thursday, July23rd.
I’ve been a fan of the comic (y’know, when it gets released every 7 years) and if Vaughn doesn’t tone anything down we’ll all be having a bloody good time in the theaters. Mark Millar’s tale isn’t exactly a literary classic, but it does lend itself to being a solid, hyper-violent action flick.
The only real problem I’m having with the movie is casting Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Red Mist. I like Plasse in the movies I’ve seen him in, but he is so far away from looking like Red Mist it isn’t even funny. But I guess he really just needs to act stoned.
Also, there’s that part with Nicholas Cage being involved as Hit Girl’s Big Daddy. Nicholas Cage is pretty much a one trick pony and I hope they don’t give him too much to do, though I’m betting that won’t be the case.
Yeeaaah.....not quite.
I don’t mind the costume change much since costumes rarely look good from comic to film straight up but yeah…the girl just looks a lot older than Hit Girl. I’m excited to see the movie but find it odd that we’ll probably see the movie before the comic gets any further.
I know! They announced Cage as Hit Girl’s dad and trainer two issues before he was introduced in the comics! And I find her outfit offputting because they let Kick-Ass keep his own ludicrous green suit, so why not her ninja purple?
