With all the viral stuff Millar was doing prior to the comics release, you have to wonder if this isn't a further attempt at promoting the comic by making it look more important than it actually is (I like the series, so far, so I'm not saying it's bad). Millar just seems like an oddball guy.
Last week, Ain't-It-Cool-News said that Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake) will be co-writing (with Jane Goldman) and directing a big screen adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s "Kick-Ass." Now, Millar has addressed the rumor at Newsarama. Here's a clip:
I can't confirm or deny any director at this stage. Sure, Matthew and I are friends and I think Layer Cake and Stardust tie with 28 Days Later as the best British films of this decade so having him onboard would be amazing. But at this stage I can't even give you a little wink, except to say that the director is already in place and we're looking to rapidly go into production once we're finished a polish on the final script next month. Some casting has already been worked out too, but I can say nothing beyond this annoyingly vague statement.
