De geruchten gaan dat Jim Carrey de rol van Colonel Stars op zich neemt in Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall. Nu heeft regisseur Mark Millar hier voor het eerst op gereageerd:
Nic is really good friends with Jim Carrey and it’s well known to everyone that Jim loved the first movie. So we’ve been talking very informally about this for a little over two years now. We didn’t quite know what Jim was going to be doing in the sequel, but the entire team loves him to bits and I’ve been a fan since I first saw him. I remember reading an interview with Spielberg, a great one back in Empire for a Jaws anniversary, where he was saying that Jim would be his choice for Chief Brodie were he shooting Jaws now. He said he could see the brilliant dramatic range Jim had as well as the comedy people knew him for at that time. For all these reasons, combined with the conversation we had with him on the phone, I’m so genuinely excited about this. I can’t wait to see what he does once the cameras are on.Hij reageerde ook nog op de vraag van vele fan’s welke delen van de comics we terug gaan zien in deze film:
So as you can see from the online reports there’s a Hell of a cast shaping up here. The movie runs from Hit-Girl #1 to Kick-Ass 2 #7 and fans of the comic will know that the part of Uncle Ralphie is still to be announced. He’s the big-bad from the Hit-Girl series and you, my friends, are in for a treat.
De opnames van Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall beginnen vrijdag. Een exacte release datum is er helaas nog niet.
