Kick-Ass 2 - The Sequel

[Kristian]

Thought I'd just post what I know about KA-2. Chloe has always said that she would want to play Mindy/Hit-Girl again, but the question is: will there be a sequel? I know there is an IMDB entry for the film but apparently that doesn't mean anything concrete.

Most of my information comes from reading Mark Millar's (the original graphic novels's co-creator) website forum and twitter. So here's what Mark has said:

- The original film is set to gross over 100 million dollars worldwide at the box office with the same again from DVD sales. Original production cost 28 million dollars.

- Matthew Vaughn, the director, has said he is ready to make KA-2 in 2011 after he's finished making X-Men 4.

- Mark has mapped out all the issues of the second comic series and he is now just filling in the detailed story with a comic release date this august.

- Mark has described Mindy Macready's story in the sequel as being like the plot of David Cronenburg's film 'A History of Violence' - Mindy becomes an everyday teen and tries to avoid becoming Hit-Girl again until circumstances force her to be the deadly assassin she really is. Red-Mist becomes the evil, and possibly gay, villain and gets a female sidekick (Mark thinks Miley Cyrus !! would be perfect for the role and would battle Hit-Girl to the death at the end).

- Chris Mintz-Plasse and Chloe's brother Trevor have said that Chris and Chloe haven't been officially approached about the sequel. Chris, Chloe and Aaron at sometime have all said they would like to be in the sequel.

And that's about all I know. I guess the big question is if a hollywood studio would back the film.

Hopefully there will be sequel!
But I hate Miley Cyrus!,they should choose like Sophia Bush or something..

[Kristian]

Well Miley was just a suggestion by Mark Millar. She might make a good villain though!

Hit Girl has to be and can only be Chloe Grace Moretz. Well that's what I think anyway. I don't see anyone else that can replace her really. And Kick-Ass 2 better have Hit-Girl in it too, I mean that's what made the first movie so great if you ask me.

[Kristian]

No, Miley was Mark Millar's suggestion to be Red-Mist's female sidekick - not to be Mindy.

[frogk04]

I know that u mean Miley is to be Red Mist's side kick. I'm just saying that they better have Hit Girl in the 2nd movie. And it better be Chloe that plays her too. Other wise thats just plain stupid.

[Kristian]

Sorry, I misunderstood your reply. Well I'm sure everybody feels there is only one true Hit-Girl and that's Chloe. I don't think Matthew Vaughn, Mark Millar or Jane Goldman would consider anyone else as long as Chloe wanted to do it and Chloe's always said she would want to.

I'm no film industry expert but I'm guessing that as soon as KA-2 gets finance from somewhere then negotiations with the actors will start.

BTW Mark Millar said today that he had seen the Kick-Ass DVD and it is full of interesting behind the scenes stuff. I think that will be out around August. He also said that the director's cut will be a different DVD that will feature 28 minutes of new scenes, most of which consists of 3 scenes of Hit-Girl in training which got left out of the original film.

OMG! I must have this dvd, and in bluray too NAO!

[Hit-Girlx]

Me too!
If I see it ,i'll be like,"MOMMMMMMMM PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!,OH C'MON IT'S MY FAVORITE MOVIE!,MOM!!!".
If she says no,then too bad,at least I already watched the whole movie.
Or i'll watch it on the internet.
