Lionsgate has released the teaser trailer for Kick-Ass over at MySpace. The film is based on Mark Millar’s comics series of the same name and follows a teenager who attempts to become a costumed superhero, minus the powers, and the copycats he inspires. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) directs and co-wrote the script with Jane Goldman. The movie stars Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Nicolas Cage, Mark Strong, Clark Duke and Xander Berkeley. While the teaser does a poor job of illustrating it, the final film will be have a definite R-rating with no shortage of violence.
Kick-Ass will be released on April 16th, 2010.
