Looking forward to Kick Ass


You know things are slow in tinsel town when the big news of the day is that Winona Ryder might possibly be landing a gig in a Ron Howard movie, if it works out. You remember Winona? She had a promising career until she got caught shoplifting, and then things just weren’t the same.

Far more interesting is the upcoming release of Kick Ass, a comic book action picture about regular people who decide to become superheroes. You may have seen an ad or two. I’m excited about this movie; it’s got an interesting premise and Nicholas Cage (he plays Big Daddy). The film also has Chloe Moritz as Hit Girl; Chloe was the down to earth little sister in 500 Days of Summer, and she’s also slated to play a vampire in the American remake of Let the Right One In. (Now that’s a creepy movie.) Kick Ass comes out on April 16, the studio no doubt hoping to lure in a youthful pre-summer audience before Iron Man 2 hits the theaters in May. Have I mentioned that Iron Man opens on my birthday? I’m looking forward to that one too.
