To promote the release of upcoming comedy Kick-Ass, Universal are asking you to create your own superhero with the chance of winning a unique full-sized movie poster of your character, along with a host of other prizes. Simply think of a name, make a costume and upload a video of yourself in character to the film's Youtube page (10 random subscribers to the channel will also bag a FCUK Kick-Ass t-shirt). Competition closes on April 9th.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) and based on Mark Millar's comic book series, Kick-Ass tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.
His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) - and forges a friendship with another fledging super hero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test.
