Kick-Ass Premiere Report
Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass received its European premiere last night, and suffice to say it… well, we won’t finish that sentence, but you can probably guess, can’t you?
Word on Vaughn’s hilarious and vibrant superhero flick has been building steadily for some time, hundreds of fans lining along the red carpet outside the Empire Leicester Square - Brad Pitt wowed crowds by making an appearance at the European premiere of Kick-Ass. The Hollywood megastar, who is currently residing in Venice with Angelina and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt clan, jetted over to the UK especially to support the film, for which he is a producer.
If anything, Pitt’s presence only added to the air of giddy anticipation in and around the cinema, as the film’s stars – Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Mark Strong and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, plus Vaughn and his co-writer, Jane Goldman – mingled with fans dressed as superheroes (including more than a few Kick-Ass wannabes).
Vaughn made a brief speech before the film began – on calling Chloe to the stage, he mentioned the Daily Mail shitstorm surrounding her character, the eleven year-old killer, Hit-Girl, before saying, “it’s not her fault. I’ll take all the blame!” – but quickly vacated the stage, letting the film speak for itself. Which it did, and then some.
Our Fan Reviews for Kick-Ass will go live in the next couple of Days.
