    Kick Ass 2 (film)

    http://www.aintitcool.com/node/57762

    According to Deadline, the role Carrey is being targeted for is the Colonel, who founds the superhero group Justice Forever, which eventually recruits the title hero (Aaron Johnson) as well as Donald Faison's Doctor Gravity and Robert Emms' Insect Man. Together, they all band together to take on Red Mist (a returning Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who changes his name along the way to the Mother Fucker.

    Carrey is said to be a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn's first film, but whether or not that will carry over into some participation in the sequel remains to be seen. Universal has their fingers crossed, and it'd definitely be a different type of role for Carrey to take at this point in his career, as a hard-R superhero flick is hardly the first project that you'd associate with him. I'm hoping where there's smoke, there's some fire on this front.

    I'd be much happier if they'd just have left the film as a successful one off.

    How can you say that without having seen a sequel? It might be as good?

    Of course there's a chance it will be good. There's also a better chance that it will be blah, as well as a pretty good chance it will not even live up to that tepid level of expectation. Cash-in follow ups more often than not see a deleterious effect on quality. Hollywood needs to start leaving things be sometimes.

    About freaking time. Finally a sequel I can go nuts waiting for, if it happens.
    What about Hit Girl? It doesn't say anything about her, the only thing I heard was on Wiki and they said Morris Chestnut was going to replace the other guy as her guardian.
    She's alot bigger than she was then. 5 years older at least already...

    Well, considering the COMIC launched a sequel & a "Hit Girl" spinoff I don't really see the objection...

    Now the COMIC PREquel to "Watchmen" launched sans Moore? Yeah, cash in. But since there is precedent here, why not?

    You're right, Moon. Just like there was a precedent for Aliens Vs. Predator.

    But they didn't stick to the source material. Thus,





    Now, if they don't in this one? Then yeah, screw 'em.

    Ugh, loved the first but after reading the second book no thanks.
    let me save you time:
     
    red mist kills his dad, violently rapes his girlfriend and mutilates some kids then kick ass breaks his legs and throws him off a building. all the rest is completely forgotten after the set up.


    dont waste your money on it. it blows.

    Shooting about to begin... And Carrey is onboard

    http://www.aintitcool.com/node/58090

    Jim Carrey has signed on for the supporting role in KICK-ASS 2 as confirmed by just about everyone involved with the production on Twitter in the last few days.

    It started with Wadlow tweeting, "6 days till we start shooting... and we officially have our Colonel. Alrighty f'n then!"
