Here's a quote from Shadowrush.com

Mark Millar, the comic book creator of Kick-*** was a guest at a BBC Five Live radio show yesterday and has revealed that the sequel to the superhero film has been officially greenlit. Here’s a quote from a transcript from BleedingCool:

Quote:
The estimate is [Kick-***] will do 100 to 150 million on DVD based on the American sales, you know, so it’ll end up making a quarter of a billion on a 28 million investment. So It should be okay. So the sequel’s greenlit, we can go ahead and do the follow up now, you know. The first made so much compared to what it cost it would be crazy not to.
The film sequel is currently titled Kick-*** 2: Balls to the Wall and won’t go into production for at least nine months from now, reports MTV, as Matthew Vaughn (the director of the first movie) is working on X-Men: First Class at the moment. Here’s another quote from Millar:

Quote:
We’re probably about nine months away from production starting, at the earliest, because Matthew [Vaughn]’s got to do ‘X-Men: First Class. Matthew just wants to get ‘X-Men’ done next year then hopefully we’ll just go straight into ‘Kick-*** 2,’ that’s the plan.
The stars of the first film, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse have expressed interest to return.
Here's the link to my article, which also has links to the BleedingCool and MTV references.

I really liked the first film, and can't wait to see the next one, so I'm pretty excited about this. Although, half of me is raising an eyebrow on the sequel title... while the other half is laughing out loud.

EDIT: Oh and yeah, frikkin forum censor. >_< (Fixed the article link)

Yeah. The forum censored the link because of the film title. I've fixed it by pointing it differently. It should work now.
