First Look: Check out the new KICK-ASS character poster featuring McLovin as The Red Mist!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Matthew Vaughn's KICK-ASS is one of my most anticipated films of 2010 based on what I've read of Mark Millar's comic, heard of the set from our dear departed Moriarty and the footage from Comic-Con.
The flick can't come soon enough is basically what I'm saying. And in anticipation I'm happy to present your first look at a brand new character poster for the flick courtesy of Lionsgate. The poster feature Chris Mintz-Plasse as The Red Mist. Funny how his Superbad character had the "I Am..." catch-phrase which is repeated here with the website url at the bottom of the poster.
Anyway, enough Jibber Jabber as Mr. T. would say. Here's the poster. Click to get the high-res version. Enjoy!

Friggin' SWEEET!!!

Show any parent the scene where Big Daddy shoots Hit Girl in the chest. My god this is going to be good....
-
cause the marketing has been confusing as hell
-
Whose playing Kick-Ass.
-
I just hope this movie is going to be as bad ass, fucked up, and inappropriate as I am imagining it to be. www.osnspodcast.com
-
A fun disaster to be sure but a disaster nonetheless. 'This is going to fuck mainstream America right up'? Actually mainstream America has probably come to expect this by now. You know like Watchmen was going to fuck mainstream America right up? And that was based on a classic text.
-
He should just officially change his name to McLovin.
-
Aren't movie posters mean't to sell the movie?
Can't imagine many theaters sticking this one in their display cabinets and those few that do are going to leave customers anticipating a flick called 'Red Mist'. -
He is also in Knowhere Boy playing a young John Lennon and yes he is British.
-
When you're promoting a multi-million dollar product, make sure the links on your website work.
FFS! -
in 6 seconds flat.
-
this isn't one of those movies that's too clever for its own good by a power of ten, one of those ones that had all the potential in the world but just ends up pissing you off.

There, I've saved you the effort.
-
I know what you mean. Ironic detachment is best used sparingly. Especially in movies that suddenly want you to care in the third act. "Sorry movie, you're too hip for me to give emotional investment to", I say.
-
And I can't fucking WAIT for this movie.
The question I have is, if Kick-Ass comes up smelling of roses at the end of the film, will we suddenly have an influx of super-heroes appear in the "real world" ...?
I fucking hope so -
But the more positive reactions I read the more I think it's a farce. Kind of an easy to digest "bad ass" deconstructionist tripe. I mean are we not fucking sick of this deconstructionist shit yet? And what drives me most insane is how so many things deconstruct the superhero while simultaneously being your run of the mill superhero film. Having it both ways like that is such a cliche. Literally the only successfully deconstructionist film I've ever seen on screen is Unbreakable. Which never sold out its characters or world for cheap thrills. That's a stellar film.
-
I'd really dig a good Robin movie, and done right. No Batman. This'd be after the partnership. New outfit, new gear. Gotham's a big city...
(of course you'd get the Batman cameo) -
Look, I liked Vaughn's Layer Cake and Jane Goldman is fucking MILFtastic but I'm just not feeling this. I'd fucking kill to see Vaughn and Goldman tackle a Bond movie though :D
-
The bearded lady.
-
a lot of great movies have failed in the past, because the audience didn't come out and see the film in the first place, Bladerunner springs to mind. I mean to the unitiated that poster just looks hokey.
-
I'm pretty sure Robin didn't fuck your mom.
-
If you just hang around on the TBs long enough you get to see these beautiful put-downs. Just artful, fucking artful. OK, it was Mom, but wow, like a rapier.

Its got 3 themes working in this "KICK ASS" teaser poster
by grooveraider
Batman & Robin, Mystery Men, and Fast & the Furious ^_^

read a book you fucking stupid cunts
-
but this does look shit

cheyne_stoking_DMS, IT FIGURES THAT YOU'D IDENTIFY WITH ROBIN...
by tehcreepythinman
Given that you're both tight wearing homo's who make Pee-Wee Herman look butch.
-
would make a great book title. Shit, most of my friends don't read, and I can barely get through 3 pages myself these days. I check comic books out of the library. I really do. I love the Justice Leasgue beyond description, especially Wonder Woman.
-
It is possible to do both.
I try to read at least 3 books a week, keeps me sane. -
the comic is good,but somehow the movie looks like shit
-

Well, at least they got the car right . . .
by adiehardfanwithalethalweapon
I liked the comic but I'm not sure how this ones going to turn out. Can this kid even play a smarmy ass crime fighter who rides around on daddys trust fund? I dunno. I've never seen him in anything that he didn't play an uber dork.
-
So film noir!
-
This movie doesn't have the fell of the comic book at all.
-
2. -D for weak comeback.
-
And if anyone thinks its "realistic" then they must have the most tenuous grip with reality.
This movie needs to be sold like Mystery Men, but actually funny. Or like "My ex-super-girlfriend" but actually funny.
It's a comic movie. Treat it as such, and make it funny. -
And I mean almost every incarnation of him, even if I really like Tim Drake best in the role. But I don't want a Robin solo movie. I want Robin in Batman 3!
-
Don't think I've ever seen anyone turn meant into a contraction. Touche'.

NEVER MIND KICK ASS - SUPER WILL BE THE ONE TO WATCH!
by freestylerascaln
This film has a large budget which means the studio heads will be driving the story...which means the film will play it safe. SUPER is the one to keep an eye out for! Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page as a duo...now that's gonna rock!
-
But that wasn't hard.

I don't know anything about kickass, but from the marketing
by cronenbergresearcher
it looks like the superhero equivalent of zombieland, that is a lighthearted comedic take on its chosen genre. Now Zombieland was good, but not great. Hopefully Kickass will live up to the insane amount of hype its been getting on this site.
-
the costume looks too slick to fit into the realistic and home-made vibe it should be giving, unless am missing something. Nonetheless, nitpicking is nitpicking.
-
...why the part of readin minds...I could understand if he had a larger cranium or if his name was MindBlitz or somethin...and Red Mist sounds like a Mountain Dew apple flavor drink or somethin...
-
Jesus Christ, it's Watchmen all over again. Just throw in a Loli or whatever and the nerds salivate. I'll pass.
-
without a super power, they'd all get raped
-
Because this poster does nothing for me, and this movie doesn't interest me at all.
-
If he can put Robin in the next Dark Knight without pissing off or alienating the fans and people who see that series as "realistic". Personally, I think it easily could be done (well, at least an appearance by Dick Grayson).
-
...yeah, many will probably be disappointed, but I'm hoping for something really weird and wonderful. And a pony for Christmas...

The Red Mist might be the greatest superhero name ever!
by the reluctant austinite
Since it seems to refer to the red mist of blood sprayed into the air when you shoot someone!
-
He's just been portrayed as a girly little bitch in everything.
-
Naw no greek creds to give up. Its Mark Millar, most old school comic fans hate him.
-
Iron Man 2 Empire Cover shot then ?
-
Lemme guess, its a shot of a dude in a red iron suit? And a shot of a dude in a silver iron suit? SOUNDS AMAZING!
-
No reading the comic doesn't make this look any better.
-
The comic was awful...Millar proved - again - he's a lousy writer. A truly horrible no talent. Anything with his name attached is an automatic pass.
-

Come on guys, grow up and learn some manners.
by the reluctant austinite
This forum used to be a place to talk geek about movies, not a place to spit hate and immature flame attacks. Even if you HATE something, you can express it with better words than those used above (and you know who are/ everyone else is cool). Try using your itellect for something other than smart ass. Go ahead and call me whatever you feel like now. Get it off your chest and come back when you feel better.
-
made me throw up in my mouth a little. since i had a carne asada burrito from the taco truck yesterday, the effect was double damning. thank you for starting my day off so well. Jesus wept man, could you imagine a warm drink of that?? aw Gawd, not again...gag
-
a female for whatever the next Robin is? Seems like they'd try forcing some kind of female character. Batgirl maybe? Would be to much to hope for a decent Dark Knight Returns adapt. That is the one where Bats is like 70 and Selina Kyle is running an escort service??
-
first Iron Man 2 and now this! why aren't these films coming out now!!!
-
...lol I dont understand why people still eat tacos and other Mexican food knowin the side effects... its like what Stan/Kyle was sayin on South Park bout Chipotle... and a taco truck? wtf lol
-
I want to go to there! All the posters and the teaser have piqued my interest...i guess i should should read the comic first though...
-
this is cool and all, but can we get a Hit-Girl poster...?! Kick Ass!
-
WTF happened to that? Could have been the movie to make Michael Rapaport the comic genius we all know him to be ;D
-
You fucking peadophiles. seriously. Think about why you think this character is cool, you sick fucks. Then lock Mark Millar up and get him on that register, ASAFP.
-
Although you may all be perverts who get off by writhing in a bath full of peas, I dunno...
This Hit Girl thing is beyond cool or funny. It's Natalie Portman in LEON all over again. And it's not some cool thing you can keep to yourself, and it makes you edgy or real - it's a crush on a little girl. Every one of you who thinks Hit Girl is cool - think about WHY... -
ba-ba-ba-ba-BAH- I'm McLovin it!
-
Read SAVIOUR or CHOSEN for his limited, PREACHER-obssessed view of religion - which means, he hates religion for all the usual asinine, badly-thought-out reasons, but none deeper than his fan-worship of Garth Ennis' PREACHER. SAVIOUR is just shit (and uses Jonathan ross as the visual for the Antichrist - dear oh dear...), and CHOSEN is the tale of the Second Coming, with the most obvious twist ending in comics history and even less decent writing than SAVIOUR. I can't even get into WANTED, which most twelve-year old comics geeks would find childish and patronising, and KICK-ASS will appeal to the likes of those who lie awake wanking over the idea of a movie called MILEY CYRUS: ZOMBIE KILLER.
In short, Millar is a childish, unimaginative hack, and his work is too pathetic for words. When even Angelina Jolie as an assassin can't make your story look cool, maybe it's time to admit you're shit. -
Man, he's one fuckin' annoying kid. I saw SUPERBAD once on the big screen, laughed a couple of times, wondered what the fuss was about. Rewatched it on DVD this weekend for the first time since the cinema, didn't laugh once. Fucking awful, and McLovin' is the least funny comic creation in ages. The best thing about that movie is that Emma Stone got noticed and ended up playing Wichita in ZOMBIELAND. Otherwise, fuck SUPERBAD and fuck McLovin'.
-
on a lazy weekend afternoon, I will catch Kick-Ass 20 minutes in on Showtime. I will find it amusing.
-
anyone who has read the comic knows that this is NOT mystery men. this will be amazing!
-
Otherwise this looks just like mystery men with a mildly offensive title. Watch this will do worse than ninja azzazzin, and I actually wanna see ninja azzazzin.

i dont see why some saying they arent...they just redirect you to http://kickass-themovie.com/
-
...reminds me of HOT ROD!...nannerpuss that was funny... sizzle on!
-
and he said it exceeded his expectations by far...definitely said he would see it again... i dont see why some of you are hating so hard on mclovin... maybe just a jealousy thing?
-
saw the comicon footage and can safely say, this will live up to the film's name

grantthegamer -a friend that saw the screener? ok I'll bite..
by wickedjester
How? Don't say it's out there because it's not.By the way, screener implies it's VHS. Unless you mean DVD Screener, and than I'll respond with a firm 'fat fucking chance.'
-
irony alert
-
I said "decent writing" and "SAVIOUR" in the same sentence. I hereby revoke some of my own geek cred for being so dumb. Cheers for calling me out on this ;D
-
http://bit.ly/4oNx88
-
and a bit repetitive,and definitely not the anarchist guy,he implies to be in his interview.i was laughing with his attempt of political criticism in his second volume of The Ultimates,which turned out to be political propaganda.
but regardless,i do think the movie will be good.it has a good director,i think he will deliver. -
for the first time in my life the phrase "shitting white hot razor blades" is no longer a funny comment. seriously felt like i was getting fisted by a very large handed proctologist that decided to use glue and broken glass instead of gloves....burrito was pretty good though. wonder if Neosporin is meant fer internal use
-
I imagine it felt like the chojin ;)
-
Shocker! every comment of his is "packed" with 'em.
It's like listening to Larry Craig scream how he's not gay.
Other than that TehCreepyThinMan- how's life treating you princess? -
Dec 04, 2009 5:44:13 PM CST
Most anticipated by whom outside of the comic readers?
by glory_fades_immaxfischer
no one
-
Well sign me the fuck up! And I thought what's his name (Not gonna use the Mc-Word) was pretty awesome in Role Models. I'd say he looks pretty goofy in the Red Mist outfit, but I'm still pretty stoked for this movie.
-
but that's kind of the point. KickAss himself wears a fucking scuba-diving suit for a costume! I know the comic is goofy and far from great literature, but it's hyperviolent and makes me laugh. And while at first I wasnt thrilled with Nicholas Cage being cast as Big Daddy, after reading the latest issue I now know he'll be great for the part.
Could be worse, they could be making a movie of Frank Miller's All Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder. -
Could be the meh.
-
Yeah, yeah...and I'm sure Superman could kick Robin's ass, and maybe Galactus could kick Superman's ass, etc.
I think you're on the wrong TB, fanboy...Kick-Ass is for people who laugh at that kind of weary comic book bullshit. -

Giant boner? I can't be the first to notice that the belt ...
by flickapoo
...buckle looks like his red joystick is slipping out of the waistband of his pants morning wood style...
-
A friend who used to go to the comic store with me every Wednesday in high school is currently one of the lead camera guys on this movie. To me that just feels cool.
-
looks like he flipped his dong up into his waistband.
-
I smell disaster.
-
Very, very, upbeat. When the redband hits, if it's at all well cut, it ought to go viral. This is gleefully hard R material and even more importantly, the kind of film that does make money. It's almost impossible to cut a decent green-band for it if they filmed the draft I read. I'm amazed there were two words to give Hit-Girl. Very, very filthy character. And unique use of profanity too! Right now, buzz is minimal but man, when accurate ads hit...
-
...so prob'ly won't get used.
-
niiiice....dude, if i coulda made a reference more people would have gotten i prolly woulda. Legend of the O-Fiend is one of those flicks not heard much about these days
-
Yours is a critique that says much more about the viewer than the subject themselves. WTF.
-
than he is in the U.K.?
-
haha, see what I did there?
-
that usually the studio does not know where to target at,their movie.Which leads to a misplaced advertisement,which means the non comic-readers moviegoers will get the wrong impression about the comic-movie and the final result is that the film fails in the BO.
the same thing happened with Watchmen.it failed not because it was not well-made but because the average moviegoer didnt know what the movie was really about.And that was purely the fault of the studio.
now kick-ass is an r-rated comic-movie which deconstructions the super-hero comic genre in a comedic way.essentially something like watchmen but less serious and more funny.which means that the chance for the studio to make the same mistake is not minimal.they should be careful on how they are going to promote this movie to the audience who doesnt know anything about the comic. -
...say that. I work in the picture making world (books mostly) and you always have to watch out for that stuff...you can leave it in or even design it on purpose if you want to, but it sucks when you don't catch it before it goes out into the world...once people notice it they can never unsee it...
-
It was picked up by Lionsgate for distribution.
-
what "AMERICAN" is. Now give me my guns and free market health care.
-
I love them movies, I still wait for the day when the worlds finally ready to witness them in a big budget hollywood live action form.
-
for a series remake on Showtime or something like that as well. the way Japanese cinema is going with some of these recent releases like Machinegun Girl and Tokyo Gore Police it is ssooo not out of the realm of possibility. ultimate X-mas gift would be the 9 disc set of The Fiend. more demon penises, nazi death-rape machines, and multiple double penetration demon/human/beast orgies than a whole asian video store in 9 lovely discs

Hard to read some of these pompous talkbackers
by liesandpicturesofalsolies
This looks like a fun movie, though.
-
I know that japan made some live action versions of La Blue Girl and some other tentacle rapeage movie, but there not very good sadly, (and not nearly as sexy). But a $150 million budget hollywood version would skull fuck everyone and is possibly the only place left to go in western cinema I think.
-
is jonathan ross. so he will like it. coz his wife wrote it.
-
Snakes on a Plane/Watchmen/Grindhouse/Serenity familiar. Just sayin.
