My Take Radio

With the pop­u­lar­ity of comic movies and lack of cre­ativ­ity from hol­ly­wood a new trend is start­ing. That trend is movies based on niche char­ac­ters. From Spawn to Con­stan­tine to Wanted to the upcom­ing Jonah Hex and Preacher niche comics are becom­ing the new “it” thing to make movies from. While I can give hol­ly­wood shit for the what they are doing I actu­ally have enjoyed these films because the char­ac­ters they are based on have more adult con­tent and most direc­tors stick to the story for the most part.

In the same vein as Wanted I present Kick-Ass( Based on the pop­u­lar Icon comic of the same name) a movie about a kid who wants to be hero and has no idea what he’s got­ten him­self into. Mark Mil­lar who cre­ated Wanted brought his own brand of humor and social awk­ward­ness to Kick-Ass that was so preva­lent in Wanted.

Based on the trailer I see a ton of poten­tial for another comic book to trans­late well into film. Do you agree/disagree?
