Brian in Mesa

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Matthew Vaughn will direct the big screen adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s comic.

Kick-Ass, written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., follows a high school dweeb who attempts to reinvent himself as a real-world costumed superhero named Kick-Ass who seems doomed to failure because he's not athletic or coordinated until he runs into real bad guys with real weapons.

Cast so far: Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloe Moretz.

Moretz's character is a ferocious, potty-mouthed 11-year-old who chops down crime thugs with a ninja sword. Mintz-Plasse will play the Red Mist, the angry teen son of a mobster who tries to find uncover Kick-Ass' identity.

According to BreaktheFourthWall.com, the main character, Dave Lizewski, has been cast and will be played by "an unknown actor in America."

Several high-profile stars will likely be cast to play parents or mobsters.
