Aaron Johnson Reviews, Interviews & More

If you're a young girl raised your entire life to fight crime and use guns and switchblades, is it going to be harder or easier to enter high school? That's the question for Chloe Grace Moretz's Hit Girl in Kick-Ass 2, where she not only continues to fight crime, but may be joining the cheerleading squad.

A few years ago, Chloe Moretz went from sweet little sister (of a very depressing Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to a foul-mouthed little ninja and total bad-ass. She was barely a teenager when she starred as Hit Girl in Kick-Ass, and this year, she's returning to the role looking a little more mature.

Shortly before production began on Kick-Ass 2, actor Jim Carrey showed off his love for the comic book series created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. He strut out on Conan wearing Kick-Ass's full outfit, pretty much shouting out much he would love to be in the upcoming sequel if given the chance. Months later we can now see Jim Carrey in full garb as...

We've been hearing all sorts of rumors about the upcoming Godzilla film, but one thing is for certain: casting is happening right now because shooting is set to commence in March. Though we've heard about a number of performers being considered for the project, it looks like Warner Brothers has their eye on a new leading man: Aaron Johnson.

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina has always attracted filmmakers. The romantic tragedy has been adapted unto the screen a great number of times – but that didn't stop director Joe Wright from giving the literary work another rendition, and here he casts Keira Knightley as his female lead for the third time (they also made Pride &...

In Hollywood, there's always a new crop of actors ready to blossom into super-stardom. A couple of the biggest names on the scene are Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson. When they're brought together alongside veteran actors and a seasoned director, it gives us Savages.

The journey to Kick-Ass 2 has been a long and arduous one.  First, the film was rumored to be in development, was then officially greenlit, and then quickly scurried into non-development as everyone involved appeared to be simply too busy to film the sequel to the 2010 cult hit.  Now, however, it seems that Universal is swooping in like a caped crusader to rescue the film from the...

Oliver Stone's Savages feels like a comeback. Maybe it is, in that it's a comeback into mainstream cinema. His last film was a sequel to Wall Street, and that film has already been lost to time. This is a big crime-filled ensemble drama/action movie, and it looks like a winner (mostly). The film is due out July 6, and features Benicio Del...

We've been hearing about Bryan Singer's latest film Jack the Giant Killer for a while now, but there's still no actor attached to play the lead. There have been plenty of rumors as to who the director would hire including I Am Number Four star Alex Pettyfer, but that connection was disregarded as a rumor. Over at THR, they seem to have some...

Sam Taylor-Wood undertakes the daunting task of capturing the formative teenage years of the legendary John Lennon in her feature-film directorial debut, Nowhere Boy. Without the slightest mention of The Beatles, Taylor-Wood focuses on the man behind the music, depicting Lennon just shy of 18. The film stars up and coming British actor Aaron Johnson, followed closely...

This week in theaters Aaron Johnson plays the young John Lennon in director Sam Taylor-Wood's film Nowhere Boy about the life of the legend before anyone knew who he was. The film was a huge hit at Sundance, I for one was blown away by the story and the sea of great performances which were lead by Johnson's. The film has been in the UK for some time,...

There's a new rumor regarding X-Men First Class and this time it has to do with the team's leader, Scott Summers aka Cyclops. According to AICN, director Matthew Vaughn may decide to keep it in the Kick-Ass family by bringing on British actor Aaron Johnson for the part. Johnson was previously rumored to be in contention for the role of...

Aaron Johnson lied to us! The Kick-Ass star was rumored to be a front runner to play Peter Parker in the rebooted Spider-Man franchise and when asked about it in an interview with Cinemablend he stated, "I would play another superhero, but not necessarily soon." Does 2012 seem that far away to you? The LA Times is reporting that...

As I said right after seeing this film at ShoWest, this film does what it says it will, it kick's ass. There are some things that I could pick at if I really wanted to but overall it's a darkly comedic film about fake superheros fighting crime and it's some of the most fun I've had in theaters all year. The tone, the dialogue and the comedic-violence are brilliantly well executed...I was sold...

Tonight is the night that Hollywood's elite comes out to watch a bunch of kids curse and kill criminals.

Now that April is officially here, the debut of Matthew Vaughn's comic adaptation Kick-Ass is on the horizon. The film's cult fanbase has grown significantly over the past year thanks to its unique marketing campaign and there's more to come. Today, we've got two clips from the film that show the title character Kick-Ass himself and the older, slightly insane Big...

Kick-Ass wants you to be their fan on FaceBook. As much as I hate having to become a fan or add my name to anything in order to get something, it's a pretty small price to pay in order to have access to new clips, live interviews with the director and more... And I have to say, this film is completely worth it (check out our ShoWest First Look). We have one of the...

Just yesterday we brought you the latest international character poster for Kick-Ass that featured Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl.

The end of 2009 is near, and a new batch of actors are gearing up to take over Hollywood. Next year you'll see plenty of big budget films and long awaited sequels headlined by unfamiliar faces. To keep you in the loop we've created a list of the top ten actors to watch in 2010. With stakes this high, 2010 will be the make or break year for everyone involved, so sit back,...

A few new posters have popped up online for the upcoming Matthew Vaughn comic adaptation, Kick-Ass.
