Originally, Millar sent Vaughn his comic American Jesus as a potential collaboration. Vaughn responded positively to American Jesus , but something inside Millar told him he should mention his idea for Kick-Ass. Millar delivered the first three issues and issue six to Vaughn.
From there, the decision was clear to the filmmaker. That just got me even more excited, because it seemed so obvious to me. Millar went off to finish the comic with artist John Romita Jr. Vaughn brought Brad Pitt onto the project as a producer. Pitt was out as an actor. Nicolas Cage was in. While Vaughn had no problem dreaming big and thinking of specific actors see: Brad Pitt while writing the script, that was not true for Goldman, who as a rule does not write with actors in mind.
The actor had broken out as the overly confident geek McLovin in Superbad , and Goldman liked the movie so much that she took the entire office of a TV project she was working on to see it. For his part, Mintz-Plasse was among the hundreds of young men who read for the role of Kick-Ass. He recalls passing Lyndsy Fonseca Katie Deauxma on the way into his audition.
Production soon began in London, doubling for New York. He and Taylor-Johnson soon formed a close bond. They hung out and sometimes got drunk together on the weekends.
They also made choices about their characters together. Vaughn was on the hook for the production budget and he wryly reminded Mintz-Plasse about this when he had to drive the Mystmobile, a task that required the American actor to navigate the opposite side of the road while using a stick shift for the first time.
I have to drive it going like 40 miles per hour, turning a corner. The car was definitely worth more than he was making on the movie. Moretz spent half a year training to play Hit-Girl. She studied with famed stunt house 87Eleven in L. Talila Craig doubled for Hit-Girl. After the film came out, Hit-Girl would become a cultural touchstone, a symbol of female badassery. She would also be a lightning rod for critics offended that an year-old would be put in such violence situations or use such bad language.
This time around, Cage plays both human and demonic hero. With Mark and Brian, this will go into the wonderful bliss of the nightmare imagination. More information at tiff.

The guy can turn in some pretty incredible performances when he chooses the right scripts and directors. Cage told me once in an interview that he works just to get out of his own head.
