SDCC13: Here’s the New NSFW ‘Kick-Ass 2’ Trailer

by Joe Gillis, Jul 19 2013 // 8:00 PM

kick-ass-2-trailer-redband-2

Let’s just say right off the bat we were big fans of the first Kick-Ass movie. In short, it was great and a fitting companion to the comic, even if it was a bit different.

Kick-Ass 2 promises to be more of the same and maybe even better. How can we tell? There’s a new redband trailer that debuted at Comic-Con and has just dropped and in it there’s all the profanity, violence, blood, gore and more you could possibly want.

“We put (these characters) through a meat grinder in this one,” director Jeff Wadlow said during the panel at the Con. If you watch the trailer, you’ll see exactly what he meant.

Jim Carrey, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse star. Look for Kick-Ass 2 to arrive on August 16th.

Get the redband after the break.

The Latest ‘Kick-Ass 2’ Trailer Is Here

by Joe Gillis, Jun 19 2013 // 9:15 AM

kick-ass-2-carrey-1

After reading Kick-Ass 2, we waited for the firs trailer to come out for the movie to see if it lived up to the first one. While no one agreed with all of the changes made to the original Kick-Ass movie, Matthew Vaughn still did a great job working with the source material and made an entertaining adaptation.

How do you take something like Kick-Ass and make it more profane and obscene than having a little girl spewing expletives and hacking guys to death? Kick-Ass 2 apparently plans on doing it with even worse language and a horde of new costumed vigilantes.

This latest trailer gives a look at Jim Carrey in action as Colonel Stars and Stripes as well as his “wonderful pet.” We also get a further look at Red Myst who has reinvented himself with a very un-PG new name. We’re not sure if it all works or will end up a giant mess. Still, we’re interested enough to go see it.

Kick-Ass 2 returns Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Jeff Wadlow takes over for Vaughn as director.

Check out the trailer after the break.

Box Office Report: ‘Oz’ Continues to Impress as ‘Wonderstone’ Bombs

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Mar 18 2013 // 9:45 AM

BoxOfficeBannenewComing as a surprise to no one, Oz: The Great and Powerful has come in first in the weekend box office for a second weekend in a row. The film is performing strong as the first blockbuster of the year, even if it is not reaching Alice in Wonderland or Hunger Games heights.  Still the film should get well over $200 Million domestically and exist as another nice win for Raimi and Disney.

In second place, the Halle Berry thriller The Call had a surprisingly strong debut. The film brought in just over $17 Million and is one of the stronger Halle Berry starring openings in quite a long time. The movie was cheap to make and easy to market so this is a really solid early year win for all of the people involved.

The winning stops at number two as the opening of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is anything but incredible or wonderful. Apparently the film is less funny than my word play and connected with audiences thusly. Comparing the film to other high concept comedies it falls fall below its peers. In fact it barely made 2/3rds of what the Will Ferrell bomb Semi-Pro made a few years ago.

First ‘Kick-Ass 2’ Red Band Trailer Arrives

by John Carle, Mar 14 2013 // 8:00 AM

Kick-Ass 2

After reading Kick-Ass 2, it was on baited breath that we waited for the Kick-Ass 2 movie trailer to come out. While no one agreed with all of the changes made to the original Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn did a great job working alongside the source material. How do you take something like Kick-Ass and make it more profane and obscene than having a little girl spewing explatives? Kick-Ass 2 plans on doing so with even worse language and a horde of new costumed vigilantes.

This first trailer gives a peek at Jim Carrey in action as Colonel Stars and Stripes as well as his “wonderful pet”. We also get a glimpse as Red Myst reinvents himself with a very un-PG new name. Fans of the comic will especially enjoy the fan service being played out referencing some of the comics most memorable scenes already.

Remember, since this is a Red Band trailer, discretion is advised! Check out Kick-Ass 2 after the jump.

First Image of Hit-Girl from ‘Kick-Ass 2’

by John Carle, Jan 29 2013 // 8:00 AM

Hit-Girl Kick-Ass 2 Image Cover

Last summer, the violent and foul mouth antics of Chloe Moretz stole the show and our hearts (and ticked off a lot of parents and church groups) as Hit-Girl in the first Kick-Ass. Chloe will be reprising the role in the sequel to the film that her parents wouldn’t even allow her to watch in the upcoming Kick-Ass 2. Alongside Chloe will be the returning Aaron Johnson as the film’s title character and the addition of Jim Carrey as Colonel Star and Stripes.

Jim Carrey Is Ready To ‘Kick-Ass’ Too

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Sep 5 2012 // 10:00 AM

One of the major highlights of the original Kick-Ass was the spot on performance by Nicolas Cage. His presence and manic energy brought something to the table the helped tie the film together. Unfortunately, spoiler warning, Nic Cage’s Big Daddy had to die and now the sequel needs to find some one to replace the hole he left.

Nic Cage is one mighty hole to fill, sure there are bigger and better actors, but so few can fill a void left by Cage at his finest. Well the casting gods have worked their magic and found someone who might just be up for the task, Jim Carrey. Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar recently took to his website to share his thoughts on the news:

…the energy Jim’s going to bring to Colonel Stars has me buzzing as much as Nic Cage with Big Daddy. You have to remember that Big Daddy’s role before Cage came on was a much more straightforward bad-ass. It was Nic who gave him that Adam West delivery and brought this incredible warmth to the character, especially with regard to Mindy.

Kick-Ass was a favorite for a lot of us here at The Flickcast, so this casting has caused a great deal of excitement. Which the film needs more of because even though they are bringing almost everyone else back for the film, director Matthew Vaughn will not be back. He will be to busy shooting X-Men: Days of Future Past, a statement that in and of itself also causes great excitement ’round these parts.

Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis & More Join New Comedy ‘Relanxious’

by Sebastian Suchecki, Mar 14 2012 // 11:30 AM

Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Brie Larson and Fred Armisen will star in a relationship comedy that marks the directorial debut of writer Christopher Storer, Relanxious.

Other than being a fairly obnoxious combination of words, Relanxious follows Barrett, played by Wilde, an anxiety-ridden woman who meets and is smitten with George, played by Sudeikis. George is agoraphobic and so their courtship is limited to phone conversations in which they discuss the dates they would go on if their phobias didn’t stand in the way. As the fantasies develop, the two must decide if they can put aside their fears in order to find real-life romance. Larsen plays Barrett’s sister, and Armisen plays George’s friend and only contact with the outside world.

Wilde recently wrapped her work Steve Carell – Jim Carrey comedy Burt Wonderstone. Sudeikis is still appearing on Saturday Night Live and last appeared on the big screen in Horrible Bosses. Larsen will be seen in this month’s 21 Jump Street remake and Sudeikis’ fellow SNL castmember Armisen has been working on his IFC series Portlandia, which just got picked up for a third season.

The film will be produced by Daniel Dubiecki, who recently launched The Allegiance Theater, and Lorene Scafaria, writer/director of the upcoming Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Relanxious will shoot this summer in Chicago.

Film Review: ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’

by Nat Almirall, Jun 17 2011 // 9:00 AM

Okay, okay, there aren’t many summer movies that you’re willing to take the younger kids to, and something has to fill that void, so Mr. Popper’s Penguins is pretty much your only non-animated choice.

It’s odd, because I don’t think of Jim Carrey as being much of an attraction for kids, but it’s likely intended as a draw for the 30-something parents looking for a non-panda-centric film to placate their brood. Or for those who loved the 1938 book as kids themselves, though I never read it, and, from what I gather, it’s vastly different.

Carrey plays Popper, a semi-weasel (would that make him a ferret?) of a real estate agent with a golden tongue and flair for convincing hard cases to sell their property to his high-risin’ New York firm. In this, he’s ably aided by his alliterative assistant Pippi (Ophelia Lovibond), an adorably saucy little Brit with an impediment that causes her to pepper her speech with a proliferation of p’s. One day Popper receives a crate from his recently deceased father, a world-renowned explorer who never had time for his son, and in it is a penguin, which proceeds to destroy Popper’s apartment and provide the first in a series of unnervingly graphic defecations.
