At Some Point in Our Lives, We’ve All Wanted to be a Superhero

A new teaser is out there for the film Kick-ass, based on the comic book series by Mark Millar (Wanted, Civil War, Ultimate Fantastic Four). Director Matthew Vaughn brings to life the story of a nerdy high school kid, Dave Lizewski, played by Aaron Johnson, who one day decides to become a superhero. He makes himself a costume and dons the name “Kick-ass.”

Aaron Johnson kickin' ass as Kick-ass

Other featured heroes include “The Red Mist”, sidekick to Kick-ass, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and “Hit Girl”, an 11-year-old who packs heat and will assassinate the crap out of you if her cop daddy, or  ”Big Daddy” tells her to. She is played by Chloe Moretz.  So check out the sweet trailer. This looks like it might be the Superbad of superhero movies. Oh and one more thing, Nicholas Cage plays Hit Girl’s dad/”Big Daddy”.

The film will be released April 16, 2010.

EDIT: Well I tried to embed the trailer from YouTube but LionsGate took it down due to copyright issues. Apparently the trailer wasn’t supposed to be out until Friday but it got leaked today. Let’s hope this one works:

    I just saw the trailer for this a little bit ago, if it can live up to the trailer it’s gonna be sweet, even in spite of the fact that it has Nick Cage in it.
