I am forever weary of anything Mark Miller related after the train wreck that was Wanted. So, I'm suspicious of this one, but will probably end up seeing it anyway.

Haha, train wreck.

Meh I thought Wanted was a decent popcorn actioner, in my opinion this looks a FAR better though.  The Comicon buzz has been insane.

I love the book, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the movie handles the material. Especially Hit-Girl.

Well when you have all these people:

QuoteMichael Brandt       (screenplay) &
Derek Haas       (screenplay) and
Chris Morgan       (screenplay)

Michael Brandt       (story) &
Derek Haas       (story)

re-writing what Millar wrote in the original comics of course it is going to be a train wreck.  Wanted the movie is nothing like the graphic novel.


It seems with Kick-Ass they are trying to be true to the book. I just wish there was more actual Kick-Ass comics out before they made a movie. They have barely scraped the surface in the book.

I'd agree, but I'm none too fond of the Wanted comic either :-\

Very cool...



...and I'm an unabashed fan of the film adaptation of Wanted. It's fun...the Loom of Fate!  :D

*never read the source material to Wanted*

However, looking forward to this very much, and the books are super!

Nice use of the Dickies version of the Banana Splits theme!
