A brand new quad posters for “Kick-Ass,” featuring Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and The Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), have been released.
A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure 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, 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) — and forges a friendship with another fledgling superhero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test.
“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” will be released in theaters everywhere on April 16, 2010.

These posters give the idea that this is a kid’s movie. I think this marketing campaign will backfire.
This is not a poster for children.
