Matthew Vaughn is moving ahead to direct "
Kick-Ass," an adaptation of a comic by Mark Millar, with key pieces of the cast starting to fall into place.
"
Kick-Ass," written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., follows a high school dweeb who attempts to reinvent himself as a real-world costumed superhero named
Kick-Ass who seems doomed to failure because he's not athletic or coordinated until he runs into real bad guys with real weapons.
