Millar nous vend son film, déjà Watchmen c'est de la gnognotte face à son Kick-ass. Il aurait du faire VRP ce mec.

...this thing is going to make four hundred million dollars!!

I was up at the Kick-Ass offices on Tuesday, the morning after the Watchmen premiere, and it was really weird seeing one movie after the other. They both ostensibly deal with people in the real world dressing up as superheroes, but everything about these flicks are just so completely different. I loved Watchmen, I think it's as good as you could possibly make a three hour version (though still feel movies are the wrong format for the actual story), but I'm absolutely convinced Kick-Ass is going to be the biggest comic-based movie this year.

The insane sales on the book suggest we've stumbled onto something here, tapped into an idea people wanted to see, and I think that same madness is going to carry over into the mainstream audience for the movie. Matthew sent me eight minutes of the picture last week and the energy in this thing, stuff I'd just never seen in cinema before, literally made me lose Tuesday and Wednesday at work. I just watched the clips over and over and this same feeling hit me like a juggernaut when I saw vast chunks of the picture in the editing suite. NOTHING can prepare you for Hit-Girl in particular. People are going to lose their shit when this comes out. I knew it was going to be good, but this is about four hundred times better than I even imagined and I can't wait until you guys see the first trailer in a short while.

What made it especially fun is that I watched a chunk of it with the marketing people drafted in later in the afternoon. These were three industry people who have worked on everything from Hulk and Wanted to romantic comedies for the various studios and their reaction was hilarious. Their eyes went wide, their jaws dropped and they kept looking at us, giggling and looking as excited as twelve year olds. I'm telling you, boys and girls, we are ONTO something here.

I. Cannot. Bloody. Wait.

Brad Pitt was over two weeks back and also lost his mind when he saw this. Buzz around the studios is great, Matthew releasing 40 mins to several if these guys in the last few weeks and studio heads losing their minds. After EVERYBODY turning it down (unless we heavily edited the scripts) we now have these suckas exactly where we want them. We've remained resolute, making exactly the kind of film we WANTED to make and I could not be more happy with the finished result. Big props to Matthew, Jane and Tarquin for making this all real and not buckling to the studio system.

PS A couple of readers asked about when the new issues are appearing and the good news is that JRJR has started back on the comic after his work on the movie. He's fast as Hell so no further delays coming. The hardcover is coming out in July so issues six, seven and eight MUST be out before the end of June. Johnny's just going to do six and seven back to back over the next six weeks so all looking cool.
