Mumbai, India (PressExposure) April 06, 2010 -- Ever dreamed of being the ultimate superhero? One ordinary boy dared to act upon his dream with remarkable consequences...
The hotly anticipated 2010 superhero action movie KICK-ASS, adapted from Mark Millar's best-selling comic book series of the same name, tells the story of an average teenager who is inspired by his favourite comic books and decides to become a real-life superhero himself. However, the self-titled 'Kick-Ass' is devoid of one important thing... superpowers! Young Brit star Aaron Johnson plays the lead role of Dave Lizewski/ Kick-Ass, but no superhero is complete without a sidekick. Nicholas Cage (a.k.a. Big Daddy) plays a former cop who, in his quest to bring down an evil drug lord, has trained his 11-year-old daughter to be a ruthless sword-wielding vigilante Hit Girl.
The film's script was written by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, who previously wrote the smash hit Stardust together. Vaughn directed the film, and produced it with Brad Pitt (among others), cementing its Hollywood cool credentials.
The film's superhero costumes strike just the right balance between looking ridiculous and kind of cool - they are accessible enough for you to aspire to trying this at least once for yourself! But if you're not brave enough to venture out in a head-to-toe suit, we've got the next best thing. As Executive Producer of the film, Stephen Marks continues to build on French Connection's firmly established collections of retro film inspired apparel, with the launch of an exclusive range of Kick Ass tees and sweats. Tops come in dark and sinister black and greys, or alter-egos can shine in Kick Ass' signature colours of jade and yellow. Featuring iconic empowering catchphrases, film logos, and original comic book illustrations, show your allegiance to all that is good and right in the world of style.
