Tres estudios ahora se pelean por "Kick-Ass"
Martes 11 de agosto 2009

La película del director Matthew Vaughn fue un gran éxito durante la presentación de la Comic-Con 2009. Fanáticos y no fanáticos gritaros y se sorprendieron con las pocas escenas mostradas, y no es una gran sorpresa. Kick-Ass comenzó siendo una película totalmente independiente a cualquier estudio, cosa que ayudó a que esta se rodará de forma absolutamente libre, sin presión de tiempo, ni recortes de presupuesto ni menos la constante censura que hacen los estudios.

Sin embargo, ahora luego de haber sido un gran éxito en el panel de la convención y además los buenos comentarios que han salido a propósito del teaser y los clips que se filtraron a Internet, son tres los estudios que se están peleando la distribución de la película. Lionsgate, Paramount y Universal, son los que están sacando cuentas y enterándose que Kick-Ass podría ser un éxito de taquilla a la hora de su estreno.

Antes de comenzar a rodar, se había ofrecido a Sony Pictures la distribución, estos aceptarían si es que se le hacían un par de cambios a la historia escrita por Mark Millar, ya que la consideraban muy violenta y sexual. A lo que los realizadores respondieron con una gran negativa y decidieron trabajar de forma independiente. Ahora cuando se dieron cuenta del éxito que han tenido los avances, los estudios quieren quedarse con una parte de las ganancias y quizás con un contrato que asegure un par de secuelas.

LIONSGATE(R) Set To KICK-ASS With Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn's Hotly Anticipated Superhero Action Comedy

Studio Acquires U.S. And Canadian Rights To Comic Book Adaptation From Director of LAYER CAKE and STARDUST

Buzz Sensation At 2009 Comic-Con, It Stars Nicolas Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Breakout Stars Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LIONSGATE((R)) (NYSE: LGF), the leading next generation studio, announced today that it has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to KICK-ASS, the hotly anticipated action-comedy from writer/director Matthew Vaughn (LAYER CAKE, STARDUST). Based on the groundbreaking, best-selling comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., KICK-ASS stars Nicolas Cage (the upcoming SEASON OF THE WITCH, KNOWING, NATIONAL TREASURE), rising star Aaron Johnson (the upcoming NOWHERE BOY), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (SUPERBAD) and Chloe Moretz ((500) DAYS OF SUMMER). The screenplay is written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman. The producers are Matthew Vaughn, Brad Pitt, Tarquin Pack and Kris Thykier; Millar and Romita Jr. are co-producers. The announcement was made today by Joe Drake, Lionsgate President, Motion Picture Group, and Co-Chief Operating Officer, and Jason Constantine, Lionsgate President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions.


KICK-ASS was the buzz sensation of the July Comic-Con in San Diego, where early footage was shown to wildly appreciative fans. The film is a privately financed independent production from Vaughn's Marv Films and Plan B Entertainment, and is currently in post-production. Lionsgate anticipates a wide release in 2010.


Said Constantine, "Matthew Vaughn is an amazing talent and a true original, and he has brought a whole new mindset to the action genre with KICK-ASS. KICK-ASS redefines the boundaries in terms of humor, action, story, character and tone -- it's the kind of movie that reminds us of why we go to the movies in the first place. Lionsgate is thrilled to bring KICK-ASS home to give it the next-generation launching pad it deserves."


Said Vaughn, "Making and financing KICK-ASS has been an amazing experience, and we've had two important goals from the start: make a singularly entertaining film and find the right studio to release it. With Lionsgate, I know that I've got a supportive and fearless team behind me. It's going to be fun working together to bring the film to audiences and those who are already fans of the comic book."


Said Pack, "The massive response we received at Comic-Con has been hugely important in launching the next wave of momentum for the film, and Lionsgate's marketing and distribution talents are a perfect fit for us. Lionsgate is a studio that is not afraid to do things differently, and that is the attitude that has characterized KICK-ASS from the very start."


The deal was negotiated for Lionsgate by Constantine, Eda Kowan, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions, Wendy Jaffe, Executive Vice President Business & Legal Affairs, Acquisitions and Co-Productions; and by WME and Matthew Johnson of Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman, Cook, Johnson, Lande & Wolf LLP, on behalf of the filmmakers.
