The folks at IGN have debuted for new character posters from the upcoming Lionsgate release Kick-Ass, from director Matthew Vaughn and the mind of Wanted writer Mark Millar.

Comic creator and writer Mark Millar, whose property Wanted became one of the break-out hits of last year, is getting ready to take on something new: directing.

Kick-Ass is still in post production but director Matthew Vaughn is chomping at the bit to work with creator Mark Millar all over again.

Another week gone by and another round of $35 DVD purchases await with the Blu-ray Report. Last week was a soft one, but the Blu-ray format comes roaring back this week with a few cool releases and some others with potential.

The folks over at Newsarama have scored some first look images from the upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass, which is currently in production in Toronto.

So because Wanted turned out to be pretty good. Does this mean that Hollywood should take its liberties with the strengths and tone of ‘The Boys’?

No.

Comic book writer and creator Mark Millar has big plans for Superman on the big screen. How big? Try The Godfather big.

There has been all sorts of hustlin’ and bustlin’ on the set of Stardust director Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, which is currently shooting in Toronto.

Our compadres over at Slashfilm have posted a few new set photos from the upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass.

Next year’s release of Kick-Ass will mean different things to different people. For fans, it will be fun, cinematic escapism. For creator Mark Millar, it’ll be “the greatest movie of 2009.”

Mark Millar spills some of the proverbial beans on his vision of a proposed Superman Trilogy of films.

While I know that all of you would rather talk about the cutesy, animated bliss that flows from the mind of Pixar’s Andrew Stanton, I feel that it is only fair that we give Mark Millar and his eccentricities proper coverage.

Millar’s next film will be very Kick-Ass, in a Kick-Ass fashion. And his follow-up to that will undoubtedly be the solemn, heady drama “Take Names.”

One of the latest trends in movie marketing is to release big, long clips that show us more and more of a film before it is released. In the case of Wanted, we are okay with that…

As if we needed any more inclinations as to whether or not the upcoming graphic novel adaptation Wanted is going to kick serious ass…

We all know that Wanted is going to rock (I think), but as you will see in this new international trailer, this film brings the heat when translated to Russian.

Yes, you read that right. We’ve got a lot to talk about this week when it comes to the upcoming Universal actioner Wanted.

All I can say is that James McAvoy looks weird with a gun. Angelina Jolie looks like she’s at home—tattoos, firearms, fierce looks galore—in this one-sheet, but Scottish actor McAvoy kinda looks like a Nancy.

Beware, Angelina Jolie will steam up your commercial breaks.

Was Mark Millar knocked out by technicality? In a whirlwind of news that traveled faster than a speeding bullet, the Superman writers were out, Millar was in, and Millar went right back out.
