Mark Millar Reveals THE RAID Director Was Interested In A HIT-GIRL Solo Film
While chatting with IGN, comic book writer Mark Millar revealed that at one time Gareth Evans, the director of The Raid films, had discussed a Hit-Girl spinoff film, but due to his busy schedule it never happened. Hit the jump to check it out.
Last year, Chloë Grace Moretz said she was done playing Hit-Girl. I wonder if she would change her mind if Gareth Evans, who is best known for directing the action-packed movies The Raid and The Raid 2: Berandal, helmed a Hit-Girl solo film. In a recent interview Mark Millar revealed that at one time he had discussion with Evans about such a project.
“Before Kick-Ass 2 came out we’d been talking about a Hit-Girl spin-off movie” Mark Millar told IGN. “We’d even talked to a director – we had a couple of calls with Gareth Evans, who I absolutely love. He’s an amazing director. But Gareth’s now busy. ”
Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010's irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass' (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.
KICK-ASS 2 directed & written by Jeff Wadlow; based on the comic book created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.. The cast: Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Moretz, Jim Carrey, Lyndsy Fonseca, Donald Faison, John Leguizamo, Lindy Booth and Olga Kurkulina.
