New KICK-ASS Poster Kicks a Little Ass

Another week.   Another piece of promotional material for Lionsgate’s upcoming movie, KICK-ASS.   Unfortunately, if you listened to our Golden Briefcase last week (and, if you haven’t, why the hell not?), you heard Don Lewis and myself agreeing that the time for KICK-ASS’ mega blockbuster opening may have already come and gone.   If anything, Lionsgate hyped the hell out of this movie too early, and, now, with three months left before the film debuts, the fizzle seems to be setting in.   Don even went so far as to say the film would tank, but I’m not sure if I agree with that wholeheartedly.

Nonetheless, with this new poster, courtesy of HitFix, the overkill and tedium of said marketing strategy is setting in.   It’s another poster featuring characters we’ve seen plenty of.   Bring on the movie, already.

You can check out HitFix‘s site for the hi-res version of the poster.   KICK-ASS hits theaters on April 16th, which already seems too late for fans frothing at the mouth to see this thing.
