According to Ain’t it Cool News, Matthew Vaughn was said to be co-writing and directing the adaptation film of the new comic series, Kick Ass, which is written by Mark Miller. Newsarama was able to talk to Mark Miller about this rumor and much more. Here’s a clip of the interview.

“I can’t confirm or deny any director at this stage. Sure, Matthew and I are friends and I think Layer Cake and Stardust tie with 28 Days Later as the best British films of this decade so having him onboard would be amazing. But at this stage I can’t even give you a little wink, except to say that the director is already in place and we’re looking to rapidly go into production once we’re finished a polish on the final script next month. Some casting has already been worked out too, but I can say nothing beyond this annoyingly vague statement.”
