STRAIGHT FROM THE SET OF 'KICK-ASS'

Last week, Wizard got a chance to take a peek at one of the critical scenes from the production of upcoming Kick-Ass flick, directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring newcomer Aaron Johnson as the titular hero.
Fans will be incredibly pleased to note that most every detail of the film seems to be lovingly rendered and crafted, from the lines of dialogue to Kick-Ass's teal-and-yellow scuba suit. Every minutia of the scene had Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn's careful attention to detail all over it.
The filmed scene should be familiar one to fans: Kick-Ass defends a helpless man from getting completely beat-up by a gang of ruffians. As he collapses, out of breath, someone runs up to him with a cellphone camera saying, "That was f---ing awesome! Who are you?" The vigilante responds with a wry smile, "I'm Kick-Ass."
