Seemingly running in the shadow of next summer’s Iron Man 2, there are a few comic book movie adaptations that aren’t that well-known (or even heard of, for that matter). Matthew Vaughn’s version of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass is one of said films. Besides some great buzz from the graphic footage shown during this year’s Comic-Con, generally no mainstream media has been revealed except for some posters.
Now, we’re getting a good stream of video, most recently a character trailer for Hit-Girl, a prepubescent storm of killing potential. Millar’s books are conceptually a “What if?” scenario where an everyday high schooler dresses up, calls himself Kick-Ass, and tries to be a superhero (think Batman without money, gadgetry, or basically any sort of fighting skills). Hit-Girl, on the other hand, is definitely a person he wants on his side. You’ll see why.
Here are the character trailer (I can’t stress the NSFW enough) and some older clips.
The first official teaser trailer:
A scene clip showing a training session between Hit-Girl and her father, Big Daddy (proving in my eyes that Nic Cage may actually be able to act).
Holy crap this movie looks awesome. Each one of those videos makes me want to see it more. Also you’re right, Nic Cage may be able to act after all, who would have known?
This looks amazing.
