Mark Millar is best known for creating Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2, as well as Wanted, and it looks like The Secret Service will be his biggest film yet, with the likes of Colin Firth, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Caine already on board.
Read on for more.
Matthew Vaughn most recently directed X-Men: First Class, as well as the first Kick-Ass, so the cast is right and the director is right, but what about the story?
Here’s Amazon’s synopsis of the Comic:
The world’s greatest secret agent is on the most exciting case of his career. But will the end of the world as we know it take a back seat to training his street-punk nephew to be the next James Bond? Meanwhile, what’s the secret link between a series of kidnapped sci-fi stars, the murder of an entire town, and a dark secret from inside Mount Everest? Under Uncle Jack’s supervision, Gary’s spy skills and confidence blossom–but when the duo learn what’s behind the celebrity kidnappings, the knowledge comes at a price. The conspiracy begins to unravel, but who can be trusted when so many prominent figures seem to be involved? It’s a must-be-seen-to-be-believed action spectacle!
Well, I’m sold. The Secret Service is set to hit theaters November 14th, 2014.
