New photo from ‘Kick Ass’ and footage to be shown at Comic Con

My main homie Pete over at SlashFilm was given the exclusive for this new photo from ‘Kick-Ass’ which features Chloe Moretz as Mindy Macready aka the ruthless 11-year-old vigilante named Hit Girl.

Pete also announced the news that the first footage from the film will be shown at Comic Con this year, here is what he had to say about that:

The panel will take place on Thursday, July 23 towards the end of the day. Vaughn will be in attendance, along with some of the film’s cast members (to be announced later). This is the biggest non-studio produced comic book movie of all time

For those of you not in the know, ‘Kick-Ass’ is a comic book adaptation and here is the synopsis:

Dave Lizewski is a kid growing up in a rundown suburb of America, he isn’t a gamer, he isn’t a jock, he isn’t a mathlete, he’s just a regular kid. When he is not hanging out at the local comic store with his friends Todd and Marty, he is fantasising about his school teacher and Katie Deauxma, the class hottie. The only thing that is unusual about Dave is that about a year ago his Mother died. But somehow through this blend of normality, teenage angst and irritation at being continually mugged, Dave makes the decision to become a superhero’ KICK ASS! Dave’s first foray into being a Superhero results in him being stabbed and run over. When Dave recovers he realises he can’t walk away from being a hero, and when he successfully steps in on a mugging he brings himself to the attention of the US media and Frank D’Amico could this be the guy who knicked his coke? As Dave gets sucked into the dark world of vigilante crime fighting he gains a sidekick named ‘Red Mist’.

If you haven’t read the comic books then do yourself a favor and go pick them up. Here is another photo that was revealed last year for your viewing pleasure:
