Comic Books Resources is reporting the following:

I can confirm that “Kick-Ass” has gone into preproduction. The script, based on Mark Millar and John Romita Jr’s “Kick-Ass” creator-owned comic from Marvel, is written by Stardust team Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn. Directed by Vaughn, it’s been fully financed from his MARV Films company. All that’s currently needed is a studio to distribute the finished movie, which won’t exactly be too hard to find when “Wanted” hits. And when news breaks on a certain actor they have lined up…

And look forward to other movies from Mark Millar’s canon from MARV Films in the near future.

This is good news for robot nerds like us across the board. I really liked what Vaughn did with Gaiman’s Stardust. Since it seems as though he’s not doing Thor (which is a little disappointing) this is like the next best thing.
