Ugo put a high res teaser poster of Nicholas Cage as Big Daddy in the upcoming Matthew Vaughn directed no holds barred superhero flick Kick Ass. Which is based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr.
The plot of Kick-Ass concerns a lonely teenage boy, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to become a real-life superhero after being inspired by the heroes of comic-books. He soon encounters a mysterious vigilante called Big-Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz), who are working to bring down the drug baron Frank D'Amico.
The rights to a film version of the comic book were sold before the first issue was published. When the film is released there will be less than twelve issues of the comic in print.The script for the film was reportedly written in May 2008, and filming occurred in late 2008 to early 2009. In an interview with Total Film, Aaron Johnson confirmed that the film will stay true to the adult nature of the comic series by featuring a large amount of profanity and graphic violence and that it had already received an R rating by the MPAA. Yancy Butler (of the television series Witchblade) also appears as Angie D'Amico, Frank's wife and the mother to the Red Mist. This is her first theatrical film since Drop Zone (1994).Filming locations include Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School.
It was announced on 17/08/09 that the film is going to be released by Lionsgate on April 16, 2010. A screening of the unfinished film was shown at the 11th Butt-Numb-A-Thon film festival on December 13, 2009, where it was received with wild enthusiasm by the event's attendees.
