k26758 260x195 Mark Millar wants to make a Scottish superhero movie


During an interview with STV this week, writer Mark Millar (responsible for "Wanted" and the upcoming "Kick-Ass") said that he wanted to make his filmmaking debut with a superhero movie, with a cast and a location in Scotland.

Mark says "I saw District 9, the South African alien movie. I thought that that was quite interesting to see something that people don't associate with South Africa, which is alien invasions, to juxtapose two things and make something quite interesting and quite odd, and I thought wouldn't it be cool to do a superhero movie in Scotland… Not a cheesy BBC Scotland comedy kind of thing, but to make it cool, as cool as X-Men 2 was or whatever"
