Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray director Matthew Vaughn's action comedy Kick-Ass (2010), starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Garrett M. Brown, Clark Duke, and Lyndsy Fonseca. The release will be available for purchase on October 3.
Synopsis: Dave Lizewski (Taylor-Johnson) is an ordinary teenager who goes unnoticed in high school until he takes a chance to "do something" and dons a mask and becomes "Kick-Ass" to fight real-life crime. Bruised and beaten and without any real super powers, he is saved by a father-daughter duo (Cage as "Big Daddy," Moretz as "Hit-Girl") who know all the right moves and have a vendetta against a vicious crime lord, D'Amico (Mark Strong). After a fiery internet storm of publicity for Kick-Ass, D'Amico wants to meet the masked man, and his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) dons a costume of his own and becomes "Red Mist" to befriend him and get in his father's good graces. The story comes to a head when D'Amico succeeds in luring the crime fighters to his home and ass-kicking destruction ensues.
