Mark Millar, the man behind "Wanted (2008)" and "Kick-Ass", eyes to direct a yet-named superhero movie in 2010. On Saturday, October 31, the comic book writer unraveled his plan through his website Millarworld.tv, writing "...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."
Although the 39-year-old mentioned that principal photography will start in March 2010, he kept other details under tight lid. "What is it? Who is it about?" his post continued to read. "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."
"I never want to be a studio bitch and go in there pitching for them to love me," Millar went on explaining. "The closest I came to this was a couple of calls regarding Superman, but pretty much none of my plans ever revealed as I didn't like the idea of anyone nicking them." He added that he will develop the project "with private investors".
On the reason why he has the directing idea, he stated, "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." As for the project, he gushed, "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."
