"Kick-Ass 2" and "Secret Service" Shooting

Mark Millar, creator of the graphic novels "Kick-Ass" and "Wanted" has confirmed that producer Matthew Vaughn will shoot the feature film sequel "Kick-Ass 2" this year, followed by another feature film project "Secret Service", about a 'London rioter' hand-picked by 'MI6' to be a spy.

"We shoot 'Kick-Ass 2' this summer," Millar told the Scottish Daily Record.


"Then Matthew (Vaughn) and I have 'Secret Service', which is a nerdy 'James Bond'. We came up with this idea of a wee nerd who becomes a gentleman spy, ditching his trainers for suits and being taught how to speak properly. The reason he gets chosen is that a guy like that is disposable. I am a massive 'Bond' fan and 'Secret Service' is like 'My Fair Lady' meets 'James Bond'.

"Matthew and I are halfway through the script. There is a good role for a 50-something actor to play an older gentleman spy training this young kid. There are not a lot of tough actors in that age group but you would never believe Colin Firth or Hugh Grant in a fight scene. We are bouncing names around."
