'Kick-Ass' will 'mimic' superhero films
Scenes in Kick-Ass will duplicate those in popular comic book features, according to director Matthew Vaughn
He confirmed to ScifiWire that some memorable moments from the picture were attempted shot-for-shot.
"Spider-Man we tried to do shot-by-shot, but we couldn't afford to put a crane up there," Vaughn said.
The helmer also borrowed from sci-fi projects like the Star Wars trilogy.
"Literally every scene we were taking things from movies we'd seen before. The Mist-mobile is literally from the Tim Burton Batman. The jetpack is actually meant to be the X-wing fighter shooting the Death Star," he added.
"Brian K. Vaughan, who does Runaways, is a good pal of mine, and Mike Mignola is a guy that we've known for years. It was funny, in that comic store, all the books that were up front were all the people we like, and all the guys we hate, we put them in the back."
