Mark Millar promises a new ‘Secret Service’ film ‘every two or three years’

Mark Millar seems to have hit a groove at this time that is sort of amazing to watch unfold. For some time, he was the guy with many different development deals, the guy whose work was kind of inching its way towards the giant screen, and then that Russian madman and Hollywood vets Brandt and Haas determined how to pull off “Wanted,” and Matthew Vaughn sort of lost his mind for “Kick-Ass” and pushed it through before anyone realized that which was going on, and suddenly everything’s approaching roses.

His recently announced cope with Fox where he’s consulting with them on their own Marvel titles is a great gig, and we’ll observe how much they follow his lead. We’ll find out if they can pull off something fun using their next wave of movies, and when they finally get to make a move of the crazier stuff they have the rights to complete, like that “Deadpool” movie. I have no clue what his plans are, and that’s the best thing. I know that the creative team on “Fantastic Four” is amazing (Josh Trank direting and Jeremy Slater writing) which “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” sounds like an encouraging direction for the series with Singer returning the very first time since “X-Men 2.” That’s actually sort of an enormous deal based on how badly that relationship ended as he left to do “Superman Returns,” and I’m curious to ascertain if we see Sentinels right away at the start of the film because the giant extended middle finger to Rothman on his way to avoid it the door.

“Kick-Ass 2? is in production at this time in London, and I think it’s winding up soon over time to finish everything for its summer release date. I’m intensely interested in what they’re doing, and Millar’s been just like a kid who can’t keep a secret throughout the production so far, really happy with what he’s seeing. I don’t even need to be a fan of Millar’s try to enjoy seeing someone get a chance to understand so many creative efforts previously. “Supercrooks” is another one that is on its way towards the theaters soon, and again… it’s a thrilling combination of elements, with Nacho Vigalondo directing what's basically an “Ocean’s 11? style heist movie with super-powered criminals in Spain. “Wanted 2? is evidently working its way through the process and appears to be a priority for Universal.

And fresh from the near-miss of “X-Men: Days Of Future Past,” Matthew Vaughn is evidently preparing to make “Secret Service,” which is in line with the comic Millar’s been doing with artist Dave Gibbons. That’s an enormous deal for Millar, and the publicity prior to the release of the book was about how Millar had sent Gibbons instructions when he was 17 asking him to attract one of his stories, and today, in 2012, that’s finally going to happen. Gibbons is completely crushing it on the book to date based on the two I’ve seen, and also the book reads like a completely different tone than “Kick-Ass,” although it’s kind of a spy genre parallel towards the sort of thing Millar’s doing to superheroes.
