ScreenRant.com is reporting that director Matthew Vaughn is in talks with 'someone' to take over writing and directorial duties for ‘Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall'. This means a sequel to one of my favorite movies of 2010 is finally going to be made...I hope!

Featured Trailers:
This week's trailers are a little bit different than the usual blockbuster debuts that I have been giving you. The first is a look at how the host of this year's Oscar telecast was found and the second is a mash-up of an all time classic Disney movie with what will most likely be the biggest movie of 2012.
Wow...do you have enough here?? On that note...I've adored Alan Rickman since I first watched "Sense and Sensibility" in junior high.
