Lionsgate Acquires Kick-Ass
Last week it was reported that the Comic-Con presentation of Mark Millar’s creator-owned title “Kick-Ass” had generated a ton of interest, and that several studios are all in the running to bid on the picture.
Lionsgate announced that it has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to “Kick-Ass”, the anticipated action-comedy from writer/director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust). Based on the groundbreaking, best-selling comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., “Kick-Ass” stars Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloe Moretz. The screenplay is written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman. The producers are Matthew Vaughn, Brad Pitt, Tarquin Pack and Kris Thykier; Millar and Romita Jr. are co-producers.
Three Studios Want To Distribute Kick-Ass
Lionsgate, Paramount and Universal are competing to buy Mark Millar’s creator-owned title “Kick-Ass” after Comic-Con presentation of comic-book adaptation has generated a ton of interest.
Director Matthew Vaughan (Stardust) financed independently after some studios found the project’s violence too graphic and some of its dialogue too profanity-laced.
Sony were initially onboard, but Vaughn split with the studio over creative differences; they wanted to turn the character of Hit Girl (who is 11-years-old in the comic) into a teenager, for example.
