On his website, Millar explains that he's a huge fan of Carrey, and "made a mental note" to work with him after the actor demonstrated his own fandom for "Kick-Ass." In Millar's eyes, Carrey's turn in the sequel is some of the actor's best work, making his withdrawal of support "all the more surprising." Nonetheless, Carrey's remarks have left creator Millar "baffled." ( You can watch the redband trailer here.)Ĭarrey said in his tweeted statement on Sunday that he's not "ashamed" of "Kick-Ass 2," but that "recent events have caused a change in my heart." When a Twitter follower asked Carrey why his change of heart didn't occur after the shootings at Columbine or Virginia Tech, the actor explained that "it did, over time." The sequel sees Taylor-Johnson and Moretz reprise their roles of Kick-Ass and Hit Girl, with Carrey signed on to play fellow crime-fighter Colonel Stars and Stripes. The story doesn't at all shy away from violence, featuring two teens (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz) who decide that they don't need special powers to fight crime and develop their own superhero personas. "(M)y apologies to others involve(d) with the film."ĭirected by Jeff Wadlow, "Kick-Ass 2" is the follow-up to 2010's initial installment, which was adapted from Mark Millar's comic books. "I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence," Carrey tweeted on Sunday. The 51-year-old actor has said that in light of that event and those like it, he can't stand behind the violence in his upcoming movie, "Kick-Ass 2." The tragedy that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary in December has left its mark on Jim Carrey.
