Good news, British readers: Kick-Ass, the really exciting, very funny and slightly twisted new film from Matthew Vaughn, has found a UK distributor. Yes, Universal will be bringing us the tale of superheroes minus superpowers, which is good news for audiences still waiting more than a month after it found a US distributor.
The film is based, of course, on the Mark Millar comics about a boy who decides to become a superhero without the benefit of superpowers, super-suits or super-anything else. Except for maybe super-ability-to-get-his-ass-kicked.
It stars Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Moretz, Nicolas Cage and Mark Strong. We suspect that the UK release date will closely mirror the planned US release on April 16, but we'll bring you confirmation of that as soon as we have it.
