I’m not a big fan of watching a clip with commentary, it’s always been part of the DVD special features that I’d always skip but if you’re into this style, Premiere In France has this KICK-ASS trailer with commentary by director Matthew Vaughn. Pretty much using the same teaser that we saw recently but Vaughn briefly talked about what drove him into this project. Frankly, it’s not as informative as IGN’s new trailer segment featuring Prince Of Persia. Watch the trailer after this jump…
“Kick-Ass” tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (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 (Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Cage).
KICK-ASS opens April 16th, 2010
