“Would the world accept this? It makes Kick-Ass look like Finding Nemo. Matthew and I have chatted about it in the pub, and it’s fine in the pub, but when we’re being interviewed two years later, is it going to be terrifying?”

And the final words: “So I don’t know, it seems a fun thing, though. It’s funny, because Hit Girl was slightly pre-dated by about a year, before those kick-ass action heroine characters like The Hunger Games and Hanna and those kinds of things came along. And now I feel is a great time for her, so it could be really interesting”.

So, basically, Hit Girl could or could not happen. Though Millar seems to support the idea.

And a word about Kindergarten Heroes

“That’s over at Fox, I’m executive producing. About two, three weeks ago, Carter Blanchard, the screenwriter, handed in a new draft of it, so that’s just up to Fox now. That’s going to be interesting, because my stuff is generally R-rated, and I do love the idea of mixing it up a little”.

“So I love the idea of something like Starlight, or Chrononauts, something that’s a big family-friendly adventure, and Kindergarten Heroes would be the most overt of those. I’ve got all these children, and I can never take them to any of my movies, I feel terrible, I feel like the worst dad in the world! [Laughs] At least with Kindergarten Heroes, they could probably play parts in the movie, you know?”

So, there you have it: Millar seems pretty wrapped up in a lot of work, but what titles would you like to see next adapted for the big screen?
