It seems that Mathew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) is hoping to use this month’s Comic Con to build the buzz for his upcoming comic book adapatation, Kick-Ass. /Film is reporting that the first footage from the movie will screen at the convention. The movie is the biggest non-studio produced comic book movie of all time, and from the just released new images it looks like it could be very cool.
The film itself is about a comic book obsessed kid called Dave Lizewski, who gets fed up with being mugged and decides to become a superhero. However life fighting crime is tough, and he comes up against all sort of strange foes, including Mindy Macready, also known as the ruthless 11-year-old vigilante named Hit Girl.
The brand new image of Mindy below is truly kick ass and certainly makes the movie look a lot more interesting than the images of Dave wearing his slightly naff superhero costume. (if you’re on the main news page, click Read More to see the pics).
