If you haven’t heard, Mathew Vaughn’s (Layer Cake) adaptation of Mark Millar’s (Wanted) comic book Kick-Ass is building up to be a major hit in 2010. Those lucky enough to have seen the film (which made a major splash at this year’s Comic Con) are already calling it (in some cases) “the most entertaining comic book movie of all time.”
That’s a big statement! And large part of what viewers have liked about Kick-Ass have clearly been the performances of Nicolas Cage and young Chloe Moretz, who play the daddy/daughter duo known as Big Daddy and Hit-Girl.
Moretz as Hit-Girl has been a particular crowd favorite, some even ranking her amongst the top echelon of onscreen comic book characters.
Courtesy of UGO, we have a clip of the young actress opposite Nic Cage in a hilarious clip from the film. In this scene, Cage’s character Damon Macready tries to “educate” his daughter Mindy (Moretz) on how to properly take a bullet to the chest while wearing her bulletproof vest.
Yes, you read that correctly. Welcome to the world of Kick-Ass. Check out the clip:

Now, check out this poster of Cage’s character in full custom as Big Daddy:

Man, I missed out on Kick-Ass the comic book but this movie looks like it’s going to be straight up cult-classic. The teaser trailer definitely got peoples attention, and when the full trailer hits (especially the red-band version) people are going to lose their minds. Mark my words.
So far I’m digging what little bits I’m seeing of the film, but I worry the buzz on this is going to build too fast and we’re going to ultimately get the over-saturation of promotional material that we’re all currently drowning in, thanks to Avatar. Other than that, I can’t wait to get in and get a look at this film. Cult-classic, I’m telling you.
What did you think of the clip (no pun) and poster?

It does seems faithful to the source material although nick cage wouldnt have been my first choice for big daddy he can still act well when he wants to
lets just hope he dosnt take away from the story
I really hope that they keep the big reveal about Big Daddy intact. I won’t spoil it for anyone (unless you ask) but it would make an eerie kind of sense for him to be played by Cage if they kept that part of the character
I’m still not sold on the movie.
The comic book is good but there’s only been like 8 issues and the story has not developed enough for a full movie. Am I missing something? I know they’re coming out with new issues in January. Will the movie be based on those issues as well?
Wait a minute; the character in the dark knight-looking outfit is a girl? Or is that the Nic Cage character in the past? Anyway, I thought the video was pretty funny.
haha that was amazing i really cant wait for this movie
=D
i want that poster
cage can act again?
The Batman outfit is not the girl.
And that was just one of the clips they showed at Comic-Con which had me LMAO.
This movie is going to be CRAZY.
Vic
Cage can really do some rolls well. Others its painful to watch. He looks comfortable in this one and from what i saw from the comic con footage this movie is gonna be KICK ASS! hehe
Lots of violence and guns and swords
Although the clip was entertaining,I have to kinda agree with ogb about not being sold on this film.
I don’t think it will be as big of a hit as some of us would like,or expect.I just think that it’s really going to appeal to a very niche crowd,and that’s not necessarily a bad thing,but it is as far as box office numbers go.
Or I could be totally wrong and this ends up being the top grossing movie of the year.
