By FavaBeans | September 16, 2008
Clark Duke (”Superbad”) has joined the cast of the Matthew Vaughn-directed comic book adaptation “Kick-Ass” reports Access Hollywood. Backstage at the MTV VMAs, Clark says “I just saw Chris [Mintz-Plasse, co-star]. It’s the first time I saw him since I closed the deal, so I’m pretty excited. I’m leaving in a week or two.” The story follows a 15-year-old boy named Dave Lizewski who, despite living in the “real world”, decides to become a superhero. Duke will play Marty, a good and comedic comic book geek friend to the film’s lead character Dave. Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Chloe Moretz and Nicolas Cage also star. Source: DarkHorizons
Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson and Lyndsy Fonseca are set to star in Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of the violent Mark Millar comic book, says The Hollywood Reporter. Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics’ Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons. Johnson plays title character, while Fonseca plays the object of the teen’s infatuation who believes Dave is gay. Cage is a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is also in the cast. A fall shoot in London and Toronto is planned. Source: Superherohype
