Teaser suggests KICK-ASS will indeed ‘kick ass’

Sometimes it’s nice to take the lighter side of what has been a serious agenda for a while. After a barrage of comic book and superhero films taking the genre into the depths of ‘darker’ and ‘grittier’, along comes Kick-Ass to make you chuckle and not (likely) not have you questioning life values at the top of the third act.

This awesome teaser dropped around the web today, and I must admit I finally came on board. I was skeptical at first but this teaser was a lot of fyun. I look forward to the full trailer.

Kick-Ass hits cinemas 16 April 2010.

Mark Millar’s violent comic tale of wannabe superheroes is adapted by writer/director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) with this Marv Films production. Aaron Johnson stars as a teen who steps out of his house one day with a mask and a painted baseball bat and starts to fight crime even though he has no superpowers. Lyndsy Fonseca co-stars as the character’s object of desire, with Nicolas Cage also appearing as an ex-cop whose hatred of a drug lord forces him to train his daughter to be a lethal vigilante.
