Four New 'Kick-Ass' Character Posters

DateFriday, November 6, 2009 at 7:12AM
After footage from the film debuted at Comic-Con, Kick-Ass immediately became one of next year's most anticipated fanboy movies. There was a bidding war to secure the rights for the young non-superheroes superhero movie, which Lionsgate eventually won. The irony is the subject matter and the tone kept all the studios away from Mark Millar's comic book title before director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake) financed the project himself.

I know, I know: It's hard to believe the studios all missed what looks like a guaranteed crowd pleaser in favor of stuff like G.I. Joe. I'm sure they've all learned their lesson. Kick-Ass comes out on April 16th, just enough time to make a bunch of money just before the summer movie season. Good planning, I think.

IGN has four new character posters (mind the watermark) from Kick-Ass, which means we're probably not far away from the official trailer. That'll be a good day.

This is the most aptly named movie of all time.
