A brand new poster for
Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of “
Kick-Ass” comic book.
“Kick-Ass” is based on the groundbreaking, best-selling comic by
Mark Millar and
John Romita Jr.
Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake) directed the movie from the script that he wrote with
Jane Goldman.
“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.
There's 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).
The movie will be released in theaters everywhere on April 16, 2010.
