Millar to direct superhero movie
Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar has announced that he is to direct a superhero film next year.

The comic scribe, who claimed that principal photography should begin in March, said that he plans to follow Matthew Vaughn’s directorial approach to Kick-Ass by making it outside the system with private investors.

He told fans through his website Millarworld.tv: "This is one of several big surprises planned for next year and you'll hear a bit more about this in February when we start to release details.

"What is it? Who is it about? Well, that's all a secret for now, but I learned a lot from Kick-Ass and love having the same creative freedom I have with comics when I work in cinema."

He added: "I couldn't be more excited. More as it happens, but this might just beat out War Heroes and American Jesus as my follow-ups to the Wanted and Kick-Ass movies.

"Have two other pictures about to go into development (and Wanted and Kick-Ass 2, of course), but I think you need to scare the hell out of yourself every once in a while, and something totally new like directing should do the trick."
