Over on Blockbuster Buzz Owen Vaughan talks to Mark Millar and John Romita Jr about their comic Kick-Ass and the forthcoming movie, being directed by Stardust’s Matthew Vaughn and independently financed as most studios, as Millar puts it, simply didn’t get it, at least until they saw some footage.
“This makes Wanted look like the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. We had a screening last week and we showed about 40 minutes of it to the marketing people and they had huge grins on their faces. Our sales pitch is it’s Superbad meets Spider-man: when it’s funny, it’s genuinely funny and when it’s exciting, it’s genuinely exciting. It’s unlike any other superhero film — it will make a fortune,” Mark Millar.
