Kick-Ass 2 arrives in cinemas in the UK on July 19th before making its US debut on August 16th, and now the first trailer is here, complete with a red band so you know it’s a bit rude. Plus take a look at the new poster above.
Jeff Wadlow is directing this time around. Here’s the synopsis: ‘After Kick-Ass’ insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist — reborn as The Mother F%&*^r — only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave.
‘With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
‘Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.’

The Bling Ring sounds like it could be an interesting one, although this first teaser emphasises the young things partying rather than telling us about the plot. Emma Watson, Leslie Mann and Paris Hilton (as herself) all star, while Kirsten Dunst and Gavin Rossdale have cameos. There’s also a bunch of newcomers, including Georgia Rock, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Katie Chang, and Claire Pfister.
The second that Avatar hit it big, everyone in Hollywood was on the lookout for new sci-fi projects. However it always takes a long time to get a huge, effects filled movie into cinemas, so it’s only now that we’re seeing the wave of new sci-fi Avatar inspired, with the likes of Oblivion and M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth. The latter looks like it’s going to be pretty good – at least if this trailer is anything to go by.
