“Kick-Ass” International Red Band Trailer

It seems like another one of these comes out every week. Actually, now that I think about it, that estimate isn’t far off. I’m quite fine with that as long as it keeps me sated until the film comes out. So far the response for it has been excellent, and as long as it delivers as well as it does in these trailers we’ll have a nice little breakout hit on our hands. I wouldn’t expect a huge Avatar style gross, but it will cross the $100,000,000 mark.

Synopsis:

A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings KICK-ASS to the big screen. KICK-ASS tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes — including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) — and forges a friendship with another fledgling superhero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test.
