I am a recent convert to the io9 website and it is already a firm favourite - as my use of my RSS reader transitions from mainly work stuff to much more fun reading it is one of the highlights and the fact it brings like this to my attention doesn’t hurt!
Kick Ass is the upcoming movie from Matthew Vaughn (who produced Lock, Stock..and directed both the brilliant Layer Cake and the decent Stardust) and written by comic book scribe Mark Millar. Millar is probably about the most successful comic book writer in the business these days and he is also a shameless self promoter and occasional pain in the ass. I have about a 50/50 ratio with his stuff but that may be due to him mainly writing Marvel stuff which I simply have never cared for. However Kick Ass is genuinely a kick ass idea and I can’t wait to see this film (I’m even willing to excuse the presence of movie-killer Nic Cage!).
Watch the trailer - and then remember the film is going to be an ‘18’ and brutally violent and then join me in the cinema in April!
