A fourth and probably final trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass has been released online. Unlike some others we’ve seen this one can be viewed by all. We don’t see any 12 year old girls shooting people in the forehead or chopping off grown men’s legs, but it’s still cool nonetheless.

Aaron Johnston plays Dave Lizewski, a lonely teen who decides to become a real-life superhero after being inspired by the heroes of comic-books. He soon encounters a mysterious vigilante called Big-Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz), who are working to bring down the drug baron, Frank D’Amico.

Kick-Ass will be released on April 16th in the US and March 26th in the UK. The film was recently screened at the South by Southwest Film Festival and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Lionsgate may have a hit on their hands, and a new franchise to boot.

Anyone care for a bit of violence, blood and profanity? If so cast your eyes down to the latest red band trailer for Kick-Ass.

Lionsgate has been doing quite well with the marketing for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass recently. The film is politically incorrect and that has been put across brilliantly with the restricted trailers that have been making their way online. It’s a shame Lionsgate can’t put these trailers in front of the masses. I’m sure everyone would be pre-ordering tickets if they saw a 12 year old girl informing a group of thugs that they are all Emily Blunts, before chopping off their legs.

Lionsgate has unleashed a new international red band trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, and it’s probably the best Kick-Ass trailer that’s been released so far. We get to see more of the story, along with some new footage including Hit Girl toying with a bloodied Mark Strong, and a girl destroying Kick-Ass’ retinas with hairspray.

A new trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass has appeared online over at Yahoo! This trailer provides us with a lot more footage and story, and we get to see nods to other superhero movies such as Spider-Man and Batman. Nicolas Cage actually wears a Batman suit. Unfortunately this trailer can be viewed by everyone, so we don’t get to see Hit Girl chopping people’s legs off (click here to see that), however it’s still cool.

Well well well, what do we have here? A foul mouthed young girl shooting people in the face? It must be a new red band trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass.

In Kick-Ass Hit Girl, played by Chloe Moretz, is a violence-prone assassin whose father (played by Nicolas Cage) has trained her to be a killing machine. She also has rather fragrant language, such as the ‘c’ word (the one that rhymes with Emily Blunt), so if you aren’t a fan of that sort of language do not watch this new trailer. Oh, it contains blood and violence too.

If you liked that, here’s a fun clip that was released a few weeks ago:

Kick-Ass will be released next April. Make sure everyone knows about it!

In August Lionsgate bought the rights to release Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass in the US, however not for anywhere else. Now according to THR Universal has nabbed the rights to release the film in the U.K., Germany, Australia, Latin America, Austria, Switzerland and New Zealand. As I live in the UK this is good news for me, although the French and other Europeans will have to hope another deal is stuck to release it there.

In related Kick-Ass news director Matthew Vaughn made a commentary on the teaser trailer that was released earlier this month. He didn’t know he was, however. French Premiere magazine had a phone interview with him and they placed his voice over the trailer.

Apparently that trailer countdown timer on the films official site meant nothing as the trailer for Kick-Ass has found it’s way online early. As it’s the teaser trailer it doesn’t show too much, and those who saw the bootleg trailer from Comic Con may be underwhelmed. However, from what we do see it looks great, and quite funny. It’s gonna be a badass R-rated superhero comedy!

In the film Nicolas Cage plays Big Daddy, Christopher Mintz-Plasse is Red Mist, and Chloe Moretz plays Hit Girl, a 11 year-old assassin.

Last week we saw Lionsgate’s first bit of marketing for Kick-Ass with the release of 4 new posters, and now the official website for the film iamkick-ass.com has been launched, revealing a countdown to when we will get our first glimpse at a trailer. According to the timer the trailer will debut on MySpace on November 15th at 1 AM EST. Make a mental note.

UPDATE: Watch the trailer here!

Back in August Matthew Vaughn brought his independently financed superhero movie Kick-Ass to Comic Con and the huge positive response to the footage provoked a bidding war between a few studios for distribution rights. Lionsgate eventually claimed victory after shelling out $50 million, and swiftly set a April 16th release date. Now we are starting to see the first bit of marketing for the film with IGN releasing 4 new posters.

In related Kick-Ass news AICN received a review for film after a test screening took place in London recently. Here’s a snippet (spoilers):

The comic sets out as a modern deconstruction of the superhero concept, with knowing nods to geekdom surrounding comics, and the film takes that idea and runs with. Littered with references to other superhero films from Batman, Superman and Spiderman (even the Spirit movie gets a hilarious nod), this feels like it is happening in our world, and will drive fellow geeks wild. The film veers ever more into outlandish areas as it goes on, but it always feel believable.

As far as the actors go, Brit Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass more than fills the lead role ably handling the accent, but I did feel that he lacked the vulnerability of the comic’s Dave Lizewski, never nerdy enough and definitely too buff, but that’s just nit-picking at a role that should catapult him into the big time. Christopher “McLovin” Mintz-Plasse proves that he has what it takes to hold his own in a comedic role as Red Mist, and he seems perfectly cast. Nic Cage, who I wasn’t really to impressed with when I heard he was cast as Big Daddy, proved me wrong by putting in a hilarious, Adam West-esque performance (although his final scenes did raise a few eyebrows for his scene-chewing, but again I won’t spoil it for you).

But the film truly belongs to Chloe Moretz who, as Hit Girl, tears through the film as the baddest pre-pubescent 4 foot badass ever committed to film. She totally owns every scene and provided the audience with at least three bandstanding crowd cheering moments. She’s funny, witty, knowing, hugely crude, and just massively ass-kicking, her Matrix lobby-esque scene at the film’s climax is just incredible, and again should propel her into the big time by just being one of the most incredibly cool characters in any comic book film ever. Badder than Wolverine, funnier than Deadpool, more athletic than Spiderman and cuter than that kid in Runaways. Just f**king awesome.

From the positive reaction to footage at comic con, to this recent review, it seems Matthew Vaughn may have made a rather unique and cool superhero movie. All we need now is a trailer!

Last month Lionsgate bought the rights to distribute Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass and they have now set a release date: April 16th 2010.

With the date set hopefully Lionsgate will begin the marketing machine and release a trailer in the upcoming weeks.

Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan with a few friends and who lives alone with his father. His life is not very difficult and his personal trials not that overwhelming. However, one day he makes the simple decision to become a super-hero even though he has no powers or training. Originally created by Mark Millar (Wanted), one of the world’s most successful comic book writers, KICK-ASS stars Nic Cage, Mark Strong, Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Lyndsy Fonseca, and Evan Peters.
