Quick, rush your parents, grandparents and any children out of the room. Then watch this video of a 12-year old girl with a gun. It’s not exactly what you think it is weirdo — it’s far better.

Behold, a new red band trailer for the upcoming masked hero flick Kick-Ass, from director Matthew Vaughn and the insane mind of writer Mark Millar (Wanted). It follows the story of a bunch of real-world kids who dress up in costumes and take on the criminal underground, bumps, bruises, gun shot wounds and all. Chief among these bloody-thirsty little rascals is Hit-Girl, played by Chloe Moretz. She’s 12, she likes ice cream and she wants one thing for her birthday…

Absolutely perfect, if you’re sensibilities for tastelessness and humor are anything like mine. It’s a niche film that’s blowing up its niche, sending audiences that usually love violence and mayhem through the proverbial roof. It brought down the house during Butt-Numb-a-Thon, Austinite Harry Knowles’ annual marathon for movie geeks, upstaging Avatar with its amped up violence and ridiculous premise. For some of us, this is as good as it gets.

For the rest of you, I don’t know what to say — perhaps its just not your bag.

For now, we have this new red band trailer, courtesy of Lionsgate and Empire. And we’ve got a Kick-Ass release date, April 16, 2010.

    God, yes. There is so much wrong with all of this, but that's the way I like it. Can't wait to see this one. So far, looks like a pretty spirited adaptation of the comic. Good stuff.

    kids will probably end up watching this anyway because soon as this kick ass movie comes out on DVD older brother or sister or mom or dad will go out and buy it and show it in the privacy of their own home when i was a kid i watched R rated movies with my parents the fact that no-one takes any notice of ratings on DVD's anyway movies are generally given the R rating (18 in the UK) is because of its violent content well the violence in movies isn't real but the violence in the real world is real and children are intelligent enough to know the difference in a movie IE violence not being real and actual real violence in the real world the movie could have done with a better sound track the theme from the banana splits oh please there are more violent films than kick ass i saw myself when i was a kid i let my kids watch R rated i don't mean porn films i mean R rated horror because like i said kids today are very intelligent and can separate fantasy from real life also there is this Hit Girl character who is what 11 year old i heard that this film nearly didn't get picked up because they were told to use an older actress as hit girl most horror and action movies get a 15 rating in Britain nowadays only the odd one or two take Orphan for example it says contains strong sex strong language and strong bloody violence and its been given a 15 rating wow
