Nic Cage in Kick Ass

Kick-Ass, written by Mark Millar, tells the story of superheroes in the real world. To be precise... teenage kids, as superheroes in the real world. Meaning no superpowers, mutant abilities or uber geniuses. If this film stays faithful to the comic book, which I'm hearing it will be, I think audiences will be taken back by the amount of violence.

Originally, this movie was self funded. Movie studios weren't thrilled about teenage heroes being subject to adult violence. But when buzz about the story grew like wild fire because of the comics' success, Lionsgate was quick to jump on board. Kick-Ass stars Nicolas Cage, Mark Strong, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and will be directed by Matthew Vaughn. Kick-Ass hits theaters on April 16th 2010. Here's a sneak peak at Nic Cage gunning for the "father of the year award!"
