Filming for THE SECRET SERVICE should start sometime next month, which means director Matthew Vaughn is neck deep in pre-production work. The only confirmed casting is Colin Firth as Uncle Jack but there's a chance Leonardo DiCaprio will sign on as the villain and they are looking at actors like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Boyega to play Gary.
Creator Mark Millar has seen some of the pre-production work for THE SECRET SERVICE and he is very excited about Vaughn's take on the graphic novel. In fact, he was so thrilled about THE SECRET SERVICE that he took to Twitter praising Vaughn and company for their work. Millar also teased that a new "Millarworld" movie is in the works and we should be hearing something about that adaptation in the next few weeks.
In London on other biz, but Matthew Vaughn just gave me a peek at production models for The Secret Service movie sets. So, so exciting!
