Jim Carrey Takes Colonel Role In ‘Kick-Ass 2′
By MIKE FLEMING Tuesday September 4, 2012 @ 10:53am PDT

BREAKING: Jim Carrey has been set to play the role of The Colonel in the Jeff Wadlow-directed sequel Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall. Deadline broke this August 20 when Carrey had the offer to play a guy who helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil. Wadlow just tweeted the news. The sequel brings back Chloe Moretz, Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Nicolas Cage. Carrey is a big fan of Matthew Vaughn and his original Kick-Ass film.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first one. I'll pony up for #2.

Yea ill definitely be checking this movie also.

I've heard from people that hated the first one, and I can't believe it. I loved it. Certainly much better than Scott Pilgrim.

Didn't like the first one. Hated Scott Pilgrim too.

:shrug:

this first one was KICK ASS!

looking forward to this

First one was Billy Badass. I'll definitely see number 2.

Nick Cage is back?

How will that work

Im guessing he'll be scarred all to hell. It never actually showed him die did it? I cant remember, its been over a year.

EDIT: Never mind, looked it up...apparently its just going to be a cameo...probably Hitgirl having a flashback or something.

Always up for a Nick Cage movie, all 2,747 of them.

I'm with you. I didn't like either of them.
"Scott Pilgrim" was visually awesome though.

You guys are nuts. Both Kick Ass and Scott Pilgrim were very good.

The idea of SP was cool, but the film itself was meh.
Kick Ass was...well...just another film.

Hit Girl ( I t hink that was the name of that character) was awesome. So awesome.

Hm. I worry that this will now become The Jim Carrey Show, rather than a Kick-Ass sequel.

I felt like they totally overdid that character. They tried way to hard to make her cool by cursing and acting tough. It came off as unbelievable and annoying.

Carrey needs a career boost it seems! This might help him.

First one was awesome. Who doesn't like a 12 year old girl straight ****in people up!

Cant wait.

Nicely done. I was worried Jim Carey would over act and ruin the movie. Looks like he's playing this one like a real actor rather than a human whoopy cushion.

Hopefully Jim Carey gets shot a couple of times, you know because he loves guns so much.

Jeez, that dude got ripped

Chloe completely stole the show in the first film. Terrific young actress.

They nabbed a director with an absolute poop track record for this. I'm hoping it exceeds my expectations.

meh. I wish the first director was still on board. I'll probably wait until its streaming on Netflix.

Saw the trailer before This is the End.

Looks pretty bad ass.

Carrey is disavowing this film because he's against gun violence after Sandy Hook. He filmed this before that happened.

http://badassdigest.com/2013/06/23/j...ws-kick-ass-2/

Jim will have to be prepared for the legal onslaught for breach of contract concerning the promotion of the film.

What a dope.

Jim Carrey finally gets a role that could restart his dwindling career and he does some stupid shit like this. I get it was a tragedy, but are we suppose to censor everything now?

Some of Carrey's personal beliefs are rather, uh.. "out there"

doesn't say he isn't doing publicity, just that he will no longer consider violent movies, and wishes he hadn't done this one.

He's going to get hit with some serious lawsuits for not publicizing and citing a negative opinion on the film.

the article may say that, but his tweets don't.

Lighten up Jim...

if he doesn't do the media runs then that statement is validated.

She's been great in a number of things. Her child vampire is a top 10 creepy kids of all time performance...

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/EkG5HtAx-e8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Pretty much.

Shit, just rescind any future payments of the movie for breach and sue for some they already paid.. it looks great..

Jim Carrey apologizes to gun owners for offensive comments


Jim Carrey is saying he's sorry.
The comedic actor sent out a series of tweets on Sunday apologizing for comments he's made in the past about gun owners.
"[Assault] rifle fans, I do not agree [with] u, nor do I fear u but I do love u and I'm sorry [that] in my outrage I called you names.That was wrong," he wrote. "[By the way] I don't need a crisis [manager], just a conscience. Calling [people] names is inappropriate but my position on assault weapons hasn't changed."
The apology comes just a few weeks after Carrey withdrew his support for his upcoming film “Kick-Ass 2,” explaining that he can’t stand behind the movie’s violent themes.
“I did Kickass [sic] a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence," he tweeted in June, referring to the shootings that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school last December.

"My apologies… to others involve[d] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.”
Carrey also addressed his opinion on guns back in March when he starred in a Funny or Die online video about gun control.
In the skit, the “Ace Ventura” star mocked Charlton Heston, the former “Planet of the Apes” actor who later became the president of the NRA. Heston died in 2008 at the age of 84.

Carrey can shove his apology up his liberal bitch ass.

Exactly. **** the d-bag.

another reason why Jim apologized

Can't he just type the word, "you"?

Ban all the things. Jim carrey can have my gun when they take it out of my cold dead hands

If Carrey can't support the film anymore, I assume he won't be cashing the paychecks fron it.

I would have sworn Jim Carrey was HRG of Heroes if all I had to go on is that picture.

I thought it was solid but at some parts the movie really deviates from the comic.

27% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. Among the "Top Critics", that drops to 17%, but ask the audience and you get an 80. So, that's the kind of movie it is.

At least it isn't Paranoia, which is right now garnering a 2. Ouch.

Overall it's a fun shoot'em up movie

This is a comic? Who knew?

I doubt they'll make a third. This has been fizzling at the box office thus far.

Hit Girl is the best. She is a cool character. The first one was good. I will see #2.

They have the "Jim Carrey ****ed us over" excuse, and DVD sales will be critical.

It looks like it did not do bad. It did go up against oprahs movie which would bring in her watchers.

No, it did poorly. It finished in fourth, behind We're the Millers and Elysium. It was a sequel that only did about 2/3 of the original. And it got savaged by the critics. I doubt we see a third, especially since the breakout character is growing up quickly and will certainly ask for more money, if she wants to film it at all.

The fans will probably do a "Dredd" movement and buy the DVDs like crazy, and start up petition websites that'll be backed by the producers and stars of the movie

**** the critics, I cant wait to see this

And? It is following the first movie formula.

Cost 28mil to make

13mil US, almost 7mil UK, has not opened everywhere else. So only 8mil to go to break even after the first week.

But here is the kicker. Kickass makes all of its money on dvds. It will get close to 100mil or break it with world wide, again.

Which is great for small films..

No idea why people keep saying it flopped. It is almost like the critics want shit to flop so we can keep getting transformers.

It'll need to make about 56 million to break even, if you factor in promotional costs.

This movie was pretty reeruned. The script was awful, the plot outright sucked. It was lifeless and barely entertaining. Running strictly on the evaporating fumes of success the first movie had. Kick-Ass turned into a wimpy douche, and Hit Girl was conflicted and inconsistent and couldn't carry the role. Jim Carrey had about 3 minutes of total screen time.

If you read the comic that's pretty much the longevity of character to the story, and in the comic mindy was conflicted untill the very end.

It doesn't matter if the comic was any good. Their goal (ostensibly) was to make a good movie, not to make a faithful retelling of a comic book. If they couldn't change the story enough to make the movie work any better - which movies do all the time - they should've told a different story.

It had a couple of bright spots, but it really wasn't very good. The best superhero movie of the year so far (as far as I'm concerned) is still The Wolverine, which is hardly a ringing endorsement of the genre.

You say it like that's a bad thing. That was the best part...not having to watch that douche for very long. This movie fell flat, I didn't think it was horrible but it was nowhere near as good as the first. Pretty disappointed to say the least.

I wholeheartedly disagree, because the comic was good and so was the movie. They changed a bunch of shit to make it more tame for the general public too.

I usually hate sequels, but found this one to be fantastic.
