Just got this from the guys at Totalfilm...

Matthew Vaughn had to turn to indie financing and production to get his adaptation of Mark Millar's brutally funny comic book made when none of the big Hollywood studios would back it.

Sony has originally struck a deal with Marv Films and the director, but demanded lots of changes, such as making the characters older...(Bloody Studios).



With a positive Comic-Con buzz on his side and healthy interest in the film, Vaughn has been screening the film for studios such as Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal.

And, according to The Risky Business Blog, one of them will likely end up buying and distributing the movie, which means we'll get to see it released properly.

Good news for fans of twisted takes on comic book lore and girls who beat up rooms full of men...

Hope this goes through soon as I can't wait for this movie......can't understand the delay as it is !!

Id say It will be Lionsgate too. Paramount and Universal are pussies!..at least according to Harvey Weinstein!

Lionsgate will most definately be the one to distribute this. I guarantee. Mark my words. There is no doubt in my mind. None whatsoever.

i just hope it doesn't have to go to some independent company, i want this thing all over the country, not in, like select cities or something. so in short, i hate the big studios, but at the same time i'd rather have them than Booty Sweat Pictures or something
