Kick Ass-Teaser Trailer

Mark Millar is the clearly the Wunderkind of hollywood at the moment, he’s done things that normal ordinary boring human take decades to do.  He was instrumental in the making of “Wanted”, a movie based on a comic book that wasn’t made by one of the “Big two” (DC and Marvel) which cost 75 million to make and returned somewhere around 3oo million or so. He WON.  And then got another movie deal off the back of a comic book that wasn’t even finished! He has made comics writers shudder in the horror that perhaps if they’d been a bit more aggressive they too could be knee deep in hookers and blow.

Now his follow up film has a teaser trailer and we get to see what would happen if someone just decided “Fuck it, i’m going to be a superhero”.  Lets not beat around the bush, this does look

KICK ASS.

Sadly it has Nicholas Cage in there so there is a fifty fifty chance on this being an insufferable turd.  What do you think?  anyone wanna piece of this action?  Ten to one Nick Cage stinks up the screen?  Anyone?

    Trailer peaked my interest, I guess this movie sounds cool even if it stars Nick Cage and his hair

    Once again, Millar takes a fairly interesting thesis and blows it all to hell. It's not entirely original, the whole idea of normal person becoming a super hero, with powers or not. (I'm thinking here of Marvel's New Universe experiment from the 80's with Starbrand, DC's Secret Identity, etc.) It's all variations on a theme. In typical Millar style, he could not remain true to his vision and write the story as pitched: "What if a real person in the real world tried to become a superhero." Instead, it turns into some kind of action movie farce with an 8-yr old ninja girl, her daddy's tool in a long simmering revenge plot against a drug dealer… yada yada.

    Why? Because real-life superheros are all too dull and ridiculous to be an interesting narrative proposition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-life_superhero

    There is a spate of movies coming out or already released that examine the subject: Woody Harrelson's 'Defendor', 'Special' starring Michael Rapaport or even, and I'm stretching it here, the doco 'Confessions of a Superhero.' I think any of these are going to have more depth than 'Kick Ass.'

    That being said, I hate to admit that I liked the trailer. I think it's going to be dumb, action-filled and have a script that barely holds up to any close scrutiny. Escapist fun and fanboy wankery all rolled up into one.

    I read your comment Scott and think…so What I see this movie as the ultraviolent cousin of Sky High. It will be a funny superhero action movie…I think this is one where the movie version is most likely going to be better – if only because it is not a comic about someone wanting to be a comicbook hero.
