After the trailer for Kick-Ass 2 debuted the other day, now come six character posters for the movie, giving as a look at Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) and Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), along with fellow masked heroes and villains, The Mother F–ker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Night Bitch (Lindy Booth), Mother Russia (Olga Kurkulina), and Black Death (Daniel Kaluuya).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010′s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)-reborn as The Mother F%&*^r – only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

‘When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire – leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

‘Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.’

Kick-Ass 2 arrives in cinemas in the UK on July 19th before making its US debut on August 16th. Click on the pics bellow for larger versions.

With the reboot of Godzilla gearing up to shoot soon, director Gareth Edwards is busy pulling together the cast (something made more difficult by the fact the script isn’t finished and most people won’t sign on until they seen the final screenplay). The latest to circle the project is Juliette Binoche, according to Variety.

Aaron Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and Bryan Cranston are still in negotiations to star, but no character details have been revealed quite yet. Gareth Edwards is directing from a screenplay that is currently being rewritten by The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont. David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Rises) and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) wrote previous drafts of the script. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, and Mary Parent are producing for Legendary.

Godzilla comes to theaters May 16th, 2014.

While Godzilla has been in the works for a couple of years, it feels as if everything’s been put into a bit of a last minute rush, with Frank Darabont still rewriting the script and only one star attached at the moment – Aaron Johnson – even though production is supposed to start in Canada in March.

Now a couple more potential cast members are circling the project, with Variety reporting that Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen are in early talks to star in the movie. However, it’s unlikely that any deals will be finalised until the completed screenplay has been turned in – which certainly does leave everything until the last minute.

No character details or plot information has been released, so we don’t know who Cranston, Olsen, or indeed Aaron Johnson will be playing, although earlier info has said this plans to be a more ‘realistic’ take on the Godzilla idea. Gareth Edwards is directing, with a May 16th, 2014 release already set.

There have been numerous set photos from Kick-Ass 2 that have shown up online, but now we get our first official look at the movie, via EW (scanned in by BillKuchman), showing us both Aaron Johnson’s title character and newbie Jim Carrey and Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Here’s the tagline for the image: ‘In the action-comedy sequel Kick-Ass 2 (out June 28), the eponymous hero (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, right) joins a superhero team called Justice Forever, led by Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey, left). Chloe Grace Moretz reprises her role as Mindy, but has “given up Hit Girl and is trying to be a normal teenage,” says Jeff Wadlow, who picks up the directing reigns from Matthew Vaughn.’

Oh, and if you haven’t notices, take a closer look at the dog.

Aaron Johnson

In the last couple of weeks there’s been much talk about the fact Godzilla is gearing up to shoot this spring, but so far the movie has no cast. It appears they’re planning the remedy that, as Deadline reports that Aaron Johnson has been offered the lead in the movie.

Apparently the young Brit wants to do it, but nothing will be set in stone until a more final script is available. Earlier this week The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont signed up to rewrite the screenplay, so no deal will be signed until Frank has done his work. David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Rises), Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son), and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) have previously worked on the screenplay.

There’s also a legal battle brewing over producer credit and compensation. Ealier this week Warner and Legendary Pictures dropped Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Doug Davison from the film. Apparently expecting a legal battle that could delay production, Warner has pre-emptively sued the men, saying the trio didn’t do enough work on the movie to deserve the money they’d earn if they’d got a producing credit. Instead they want to pay them just $25,0000.

It’s expected Lee, Lin and Davison will fight back, as they were involved early on in securing the rights and introducing the first screenwriter. They’re likely to say that while their plot ideas weren’t used, there’d be no movie at all without the groundwork they laid down. We’ll have to see how the legal battle pans out.
