lar, the author, pitched it to me at the premiere of Stardust. He hadn’t even written the comic, but I said, ‘You know what? You write the comic and I’ll write the screenplay.’ We did it at the same time. I just felt good about it—my spidey sense told me it was a film I would enjoy to make and e...

KICK-ASS SNEAK PEAK Matthew Vaughn on set fl anked by star Aaron Johnson and comic relief co-star Clark Duke off. It’s a very, very tough role for a ten year old girl to do. Luckily, I found Chloe Moretz, who did it as well as anyone could have. How did you direct her? I’ve read in real ...

time, he’s spreading his wings and he’ll continue to do so—there’s more to him than just playing the nerd. Although he is a nerd, so it will be hard for him to get rid of it. How do you like to shoot action? My approach is quite simple. Make sure that there’s a story in it, a narrative, an emo...
