- KICK-ASS 2
At the Kapow! Comic Convention, Jeff Wadlow, writer and director on Kick-Ass 2, has confirmed
that shooting would begin in September.
However, he added that Chloe Moretz had not officially signed on to
reprise her role as Hit-Girl, which is kind of a HUGE problem for Wadlow as
this film will be heavily focused on the young Kick-Ass Super-heroin.
Speaking to the audience at Kapow! this is what Wadlow had
to say:
“I think the most important thing that’s gonna change from
the Kick-Ass 2 comic to Kick-Ass 2 the movie was just really finding an
emotional story to tell. Because what I certainly loved about the first film,
and what I think elevated it above most comic book adaptations, is the heart
and the emotion in the film. It was sort of my challenge as the film maker and
storyteller to find something as emotional in the second film and I think we
have some stuff that people are gonna really respond to.”

Wadlow then went on to talk about how the Hit-Girl has a
much bigger role in his script than she does in the Comic book:
“If you’ve read the comic, you know, she gives up being
Hit-Girl, which was a brilliant idea I thought on Mark’s part. It’s something I
explore something quiet deeply in the movie because what happens in the comic
is she sort of steps away from the story in many ways and she’s sort of
sidelined while Dave is working with Justice Forever and Chris is becoming the
Mother[frick]er. But I was quite interested in what happens to her when she’s
not being Hit-Girl. Her story is a major, major part of the film and she’s
excited about the ideas and we’re in talks.”
Moretz is now set to lead the remake of Carrie, she might
play the title character in the zombie film Maggie, and this summer she’s
shooting a supporting role in the Dennis Wilson biopic The Drummer. Since Carrie already has a March 15, 2013
release date, that movie would have to shoot in late July-August if Moretz
wants to do Kick-Ass 2. So, if Wadlow is
really intent on getting Moretz back for Kick-Ass 2, then he would have to do
some rescheduling to work around the young actress.
One thing is for sure, Moretz has to come back!!!
