 if you're excited for Kick-Ass
Kick Ass 2 Director Jeff Wadlow Hints That Jim Carrey Is On BoardThose who were hoping that Jim Carrey would get on board with Kick Ass 2: Balls to the Wall will likely appreciate this update. While it's not exactly official confirmation in the traditional sense, the word "officially" was used in the tweet director Jeff Wadlow posted this weekend, which stated that the film has its Colonel. And a very familiar (slightly modified) Jim Carrey quote was used in the process. ...by Kelly West | published: 2012-09-03 08:44:48comments
Kick-Ass 2 Will Features Villainess Mother RussiaIn the second book of Mark Millar's gruesome graphic novels, the less than impressive villain Red Mist steps up his game, becoming the far more menacing Motherfucker. Part of his new image is a brawny but beautiful bodyguard known as Mother Russia, and Moviehole has unearthed casting specs that reveal this comely comrade will be making an appearance in Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall....by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-07-19 09:53:55comments
Kick-Ass Stars In Talks To Return For SequelWhen it was announced that Universal was making a deal so that it could create a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass there was a lot of rejoicing among fans, but the news came with a catch: none of the principal actors, including Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, had contracts that would guarantee their return for Kick-Ass 2. Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief now because apparently Universal knows that making the film would be pointless without the original cast....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-05-31 18:31:06comments
Wait, What? Mark Millar Claims Kick-Ass 2 Shoots This SummerThe way that Millar tosses around "we" and talks up his collaboration with Vaughn indicates that the two are at least in touch, but the production schedule he's mentioning makes absolutely no sense. Vaughn was just brought back in to direct a sequel to X-Men: First Class......by Katey Rich | published: 2012-02-20 08:44:26comments
Matthew Vaughn Developing Yet Another Superhero Property With Mark MillarVaughn, Millar and artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) have collaborated on a comic book series titled The Secret Service, and Vaughn holds the film rights to the material.

Mark Millar Finally Admits Kick-Ass 2 Might Have To Move Forward Without Matthew VaughnAs much as I really liked Kick-Ass (it was one of my favorites in 2010), it's hard not to see the writing on the wall. Lionsgate, who picked up the project for distribution in the United States, wasn't very happy about the movie's domestic performance, where it made less than $50 million, so they probably wouldn't be in too much of a rush to pick up a sequel....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-23 03:04:54comments
Kick-Ass 2 Isn't HappeningThe news of the promised sequel’s dissolution comes from Jane Goldman who adapted the Mark Millar comic for the first film. She says, “I don't think it's going to happen. At the moment it's not in the works. We're all doing different things at the moment. We would love to do it again, but we've all been pulled in different directions.”...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-03-28 10:57:28comments

Hit Girl Says News On Kick-Ass 2 Is All RumorLast week I had a chance to sit in on a roundtable with Aaron Johnson, who played the title character in the sadly under-performing Kick-Ass earlier this year.
