Kicking Up A Notch

Making the rounds after the premiere of Kick-Ass over the weekend at the SXSW Film Festival, stars Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse tell Coming Soon that comic author Mark Millar will soon start on the second volume of the story and director Matthew Vaughn will help shape it for sequel potential.

"Matthew and Mark have a lot of ideas, and I think they work quite tightly" says Johnson, while Mintz-Plasse adds "he [Millar] wants it to be very, very dark is what he's thinking."

"If you could get any more dark than 'Kick-Ass' is right now, then Mark had even darker ideas. Matthew went with absolutely everything but there were some things that were impossible to film. No one's going to see it because it's too disgusting" adds Johnson.

A 2nd pic depends on how well the first film does (Early buzz is good) when it opens wide on April 16th.
