World Exclusive: Kick-Ass video

In the run-up to the release of the magnificent Kick-Ass on Blu-ray and DVD on Monday, we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes video to share with you.

Detailing the costume designer Sammy Sheldon’s thinking behind the movie’s instantly recognisable Kick-Ass outfit, it explains the subtle differences between the design seen in John Romita’s comic book artwork and Michael Vaughn’s film.

It provides a taste of the DVD and Blu-ray’s making-of documentary, which charts in considerable detail Kick-Ass’ journey from writer Mark Millar’s mind to the big screen, and proves just what a labour of love the film was for all involved.

And that’s not the end of our Kick-Ass coverage. Next week, we’ll be bringing you interviews with artist John Romita and writer Mark Millar, and you’ll be able to find out what happened when Den Of Geek managed to get its hands on the original Kick-Ass costume for one glorious afternoon.

Just to pique your interest, here’s a brief sample of our very own Anthony Enticknap, kitted up and looking for some crime to fight on the mean streets of London. Sadly, Kick-Ass’ iron bars were not included…

Kick-Ass is released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on 6 September.
