Kick-Ass Teaser Trailer and Poster

Published by Jeff Leins on: November 11th, 2009

Lionsgate has officially release the teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, an adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book series.

This is the first footage from the comic comedy outside of Comic-Con’s Hall H and it looks great.  Most of the clips come from the very beginning of the film, aside from the various introductions.

I love that they didn’t even bother introducing Nicolas Cage’s superhero character, Big Daddy.  Perhaps that’s for a later date and probably in a red band trailer if they want to do his best scene justice.

In case you missed it, last week we showed you a few character poster and now the movie’s official website is also live, though there’s not much to it yet. Plus I added a brand new poster below from MySpace.

There’s a lot of excitement about this movie, which Vaughn made independently and started a bidding war once studios got a glimpse of it.  A test screening review at AICN from an excited audience member called it one of the “best comic films I’ve ever seen” and other hyperbolic phrases.

Kick-Ass is out April 16, 2010.
