Matthew Vaughn Tackling Elderly Superheroes in The Golden Age

With the experience of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class behind him, Matthew Vaughn is apparently ready to develop The Golden Age, described as a film about a superhero retirement home.

Offers Deadline, "It's based on the yet-to-be-published comic book written by Brit TV chat show host Jonathan Ross, who’s a huge comics buff. Vaughn is currently in LA editing X-Men: First Class for Fox, but tells me he wants to get actors attached to the new project before the script is written. His wish list is Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Warren Beatty to play the retired superheroes who help out their grandchildren when their middle-aged parents screw up the world. Vaughn believes the success of The Expendables and Red shows that audiences are open to the idea of older action heroes. 'You have these great star names and they’re mainly playing supporting roles now. I want to give them the lead again and let them have some fun.'"

Vaughn wasn't clear what his role would be in terms of writing and directing, and whether he would be involved with either. He will, though, be producing.
