Four New Kick-Ass Character Posters
Lionsgate has premiered four new character posters for Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book “Kick-Ass.”
Kick Ass plot: A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings “Kick-Ass” to the big screen. “Kick-Ass” tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There¹s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).
Season of the Witch Teaser Trailer
Lionsgate has unleashed the first teaser trailer for “Season of the Witch” courtesy of IGN Movies.
In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.
A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.
Bad Lieutenant Trailer Online!
Today we have a new trailer for Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” remake of sorts of Abel Ferrara’s infamous 1992 film, starring Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Xzibit and Fairuza Balk.
Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.

Nicolas Cage Will Not Star In Green Hornet
Nicolas Cage was to play the villain in the highly anticipated movie “The Green Hornet” being directed by Michel Gondry, but the actor and the studio were not able to come to terms on a deal.
There is no word as to who will replace Nicolas Cage in the movie which has already had delays due to changes – Stephen Chow was replaced and his role as Kato has been taken over by Jay Chou.
Columbia had no comment but according to sources “the studio is on the hunt for a new bad guy.”
There will be no photos of Nicolas Cage as villain as there were no scenes shot with Cage for the movie, which just began principal photography in Los Angeles.

Nicolas Cage In “Drive Angry”
Nicolas Cage has signed to star in a revenge action movie “Drive Angry.”
The movie will be direct by Patrick Lussier (”My Bloody Valentine 3D”) for Nu Image/Millenium Films.
The screenplay is written by Lussier and Todd Farmer.
“Drive Angry” is the first foray into 3D for Nu Image/Millenium and marks a return to the format for Lussier.
The story centers on a man (Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.
This will be the third collaboration Cage with Nu Image/Millenium. The latest, “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” will be presented at Telluride, Venice and Toronto Film Festival.
Production begins in April in Louisiana.
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.
