Kick-Ass Gets Worldwide Distribution

kick ass poster thumbGood news for those of us outside the US. Screen are reporting that Focus Features International have obtained distribution rights for Kick-Ass in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Latin America, while sister company Universal Pictures International will be releasing the film in New Zealand.

Although there is no release date set, Screen point to April as the debut date, at least for New Zealand. This would make sense, as the US release is due 16th April. We have contacted Universal for confirmation, but for now we’re assuming it’ll get a day-and-date release.

To celebrate the news that we won’t be waiting forever to see the film, why not watch the trailer? In fact better than that, watch the one below. It was found by FirstShowing, and features the excerpts of an interview with Matthew Vaughn.

About Ben Mortimer

In addition to scribbling barely comprehensible copy for HeyUGuys, Ben has spent several years working in low budget film. One might imagine this has given him an insight into the production process - instead it has made him bitter, twisted and convinced of his own superiority. His life ambition is to run Disney.
