I am – Hercules!!


Christopher Mintz-Plasse ("Superbad") is negotiating to play the villainous Red Mist in "Kick-Ass," based on the spectacular and spectacularly violent comic book series written by Mark Millar ("The Ultimates," "The Authority," "Wanted").

Matthew Vaughn ("Layer Cake," "Stardust") directs from a screenplay he wrote with his "Stardust" co-scripter Jane Goldman.

Already cast is Chloe Moretz ("Dirty Sexy Money"), who plays a sword-brandishing pre-teen vigilante.

The comic tells the tale of a high school nerd (still uncast), devoid of anything resembling a superpower, who puts on a costume and heads into really bad neighborhoods to mete out justice.
