He can't fly, but he does have the hair of Three's Company's Larry Dallas.
Aug 12 2009 More 'Kick-Ass' Con Clips: Still Sort of Kicking Ass
Maybe I'm just a sucker for seeing a man in a bird suit fall to his death and an 11-year-old girl get shot in the chest and murder a room full of men, but these new clips from Kick-Ass are looking so good I might have to eventually give a ticket vendor monetary compensation in exchange for viewing rights to this moving picture. That's the highest compliment I've given a film containing Nicolas Cage in years.

Dec 10 2008 Red Mist from 'Kick-Ass' Shops at Halloween USA
Over at Ain't It Cool News, Moriarty has a lengthy report from the set of Kick-Ass that includes the above first look at Christopher Mintz-Plasse's villainous character, Red Mist. I can't help but be reminded of another popular comic book character: Kid in a $52 Robin Costume.
Oct 6 2008 'Kick-Ass' Costumes Look Faithful
Someone on the YouTube has posted some videos from the set of Kick-Ass (via /Film), where you can see a hint of Aaron Johnson in-costume as the titular hero. It's pathetic that Hollywood has beaten me down to a point that just this accurate recreation of the costume has given me a huge jump in expectations for the project. The act of simply not completely fucking something up should not be as laudable as it is.
Aug 22 2008 Nic Cage is 'Kick-Ass', as if You Didn't Know That
The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Nicolas Cage, Aaaron Johnson, and Lyndsy Fonseca have joined McLovin in the cast of Kick-Ass:
Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics' Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.Johnson plays the dweeb and title character, while Fonseca plays the object of the teen's infatuation who believes Dave is gay. Cage is a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.
Man, Nic Cage? I hear the comic is supposed to be pretty solid, but going in with Cage is like boxing with one arm behind your back, and that arm is held by wig glue and Wicker Man reviews.
Then again, I've got a good feeling Bangkok Dangerous will redeem him.
