Kick Ass Full Length Trailer February 5, 2010
Posted by Helen in : Movies , 1 comment so farKick Ass looks set to be one of the movies of this summer, I personally can’t wait to get a look at this.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, returning to the director’s chair for the first time since Stardust, the movie brings together a blend of new talent such as Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz star alongside Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage.
Kick-Ass tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero.
As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name, Kick-Ass, assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.
His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) – and forges a friendship with another fledging super hero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).
But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test.
Here is the full length trailer for the film:
