Six Great Kick-Ass 2 Character Posters Debut

March 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kick-ass-2-character-poster1
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.

kick-ass-2-pic1There 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.

In this sequel, after Kick-Ass’ bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol.

Kick-Ass 2 Lands Lindy Booth As Night Bitch

August 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Lindy Booth is in talks to join the burgeoning cast of Universal’s superhero sequel Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall, playing Night Bitch. Up until now Booth has been best known as a bit of a scream queen, appearing in the likes of Wrong Turn, Dawn Of The Dead and Cry_Wolf, and indeed it was with the last of those that she first teamed up with Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow.

In the comic books, Night Bitch’s identity is kept a mystery. She claims that her sister’s murder drove her to become a costumed vigilante and join the superhero group Justice Forever. Her weapon of choice is a long pole that matches her costume. The actress joins a cast that includes new additions such as John Leguizamo, Donald Faison, Morris Chestnut, and Robert Emms. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage reprise their roles from the first film.

Jeff Wadlow is directing from his own screenplay, with a June 28, 2013 release date already set. Production is scheduled to begin next month in Toronto and New York. (Source: THR)

In Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s comic books, Dr. Gravity claims to be a physics professor who invented the ‘Gravity Pole’, a device which can make something 20 times its actual weight. He actually is a college student majoring in English, who joins Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) in his adventures. The ‘Gravity Pole’ is actually just a baseball bat covered in tinfoil.

Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage are expected to reprise their roles from 2010’s Kick-Ass, with John Leguizamo recently signing on to play Javier, Red Mist’s new bodyguard. Production is scheduled to begin next month in Toronto and London.

John Leguizamo Up For Kick-Ass 2 & Ridley Scott’s The Counselor

July 31, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

John Leguizamo will soon be heading for TV as a US version on Del Boy in their take on Only Fools And Horses, but before then he’s filling up his schedule with high profile film work. Deadline reports that he’s set for both Kick Ass 2 and Ridley Scott’s The Counselor.

The Cormac McCarthy-scripted Counselor already has Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz onboard, and follows a respected lawyer who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting sucked down. It is a bad decision and he tries his best to survive it and get out of a desperate situation. Leguizamo will be a low level drug dealer in the movie.

As for Kick Ass 2, the actor is set to play Javier, the bodyguard who’s trying to protect aspiring supervillain Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz will also be back for the sequel, with Jeff Wadlow directing.

Aaron Johnson & Chloe Moretz In Talks For Kick Ass 2

June 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When Universal announced a few weeks ago that it was moving forward with kick Ass, it had a small problem – none of the cast were signed for a sequel. The studio, along with director Jeff Wadlow are trying to remedy that, as Deadline reports that they’re close to finalising deals with Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz to return for Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse is also close to finalizing his deal, and Nicolas Cage is in negotiations to return in a cameo role. None of the Kick-Ass cast members had sequel deals in place, which fueled speculation that some of the roles may be re-cast. There are still several other new roles yet to be filled.

Jeff Wadlow is directing from his own screenplay, which is adapted from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s comic book series. If all the deals are finalised, production will likely begin in August.
