Matthew Vaughn says Kick-Ass earned him an apology from an unnamed person in Hollywood.
New York Comic Con is currently in full swing, and while actors in attendance are unable to discuss their projects due to the SAG strike, some directors are there are sharing insights into their past and future films. During a panel, Matthew Vaughn confirmed he's working on a Kick-Ass reboot as well as Kingsman 3, and also discussed his time working in the X-Men franchise. Vaughn is known for helming X-Men: First Class, but he almost directed X-Men: The Last Stand.
"Yeah, that was bizarre because I went from Layer Cake, a tiny 3 million pound movie, and suddenly I got Hollywood calling up saying, 'Would you like to make an X-Men movie?' And I was like, 'Yes.' And I thought X-2 is a masterpiece. So I was worried about trying to step into Bryan Singer's shoes, and it was a dream come true. I storyboarded the movie. The end of the movie was not the movie I was gonna make.
"The way I produce films was, 'Here's a budget and a schedule, stick to it.' And Hollywood doesn't work that way. They go, 'Here's the budget. Here's a schedule. We're going to pretend we're going to do it for that and then we'll make it all up,' and I didn't know that. I didn't know that back then. so I was naive to walk out.
"The man who said you'll never work in this town again, watched Kick-Ass. And to his credit, he rang me up and said, 'You know what, I didn't mean it when I said that,'" Vaughn added. "We will be doing a reboot of Kick-Ass next year, but it's a total… it's like… it's as brave as the first one but totally different and more reflective of the times we're in," Vaughn told ComicBook.com.
