A. Clay Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) HERE's the trailer . . . [YOUTUBE]y6SSzRIZQJI[/YOUTUBE] And posters for the primary characters . . . http://www.starburstmagazine.com/movie-news/4778-movie-news-kick-ass-2 I really liked the song MIKA did for the first film. Beyond me how they used it. I asked MIKA 'bout doing a song for the 2ND film on Twitter, but you know how that goes. Edited March 25, 2013 by A.

C. Tyler Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It was actually very curious to me that he mentioned having a new song "for an american film" and then maybe a day later the Kick Ass 2 trailer came out. It sure is awfully coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw the movie because my friends told me not to bother but I hope he can write another song. I love "kick - ass" (the song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is awfully coincidental. I hope it's a coincidence, but if it is true we'll all have to go onto the site and tell them, in no uncertain terms, what we think of how badly they treated the song and Mika, in the first film, and tell them we want the song IN the movie, not at the bum-end of the credits, and that the video needs to be part of the bonus features on the DVD, and that the whole thing with Mika needs better advertising and publicity this time around. But I'm hoping it's a different movie he's written a song for and that he'll get treated right by whoever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've commented anyway. I said there was a rumour and I know it might not be true, but it gave me a chance to say how badly Mika and his song were treated last time. It might make people listen to We Are Young if they didn't realise it was there. I'm hoping it is a different film though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love "kick - ass" (the song) I went to the movie just because of MIKA's song. It's a great song, I think and it sounded great in the theater, BUT very few heard it. It was only played at the very last of the end credits. So that was a big disappointment. PS: My son loved the movie and can't wait for KA-II. Edited March 25, 2013 by A.

My friends saw the movie and they knew about the MIKA song and then when I spoke to them and I asked about the song they told me that it was not on the movie and they only saw a bit of the credits to see if the song was there, but nothing. So, I understand the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiam Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Agreed But lots of movies are coming out! We are approaching a very good time for blockbusters, so it could be anything! It's a real shame how "Kick-Ass" was treated - Such a fantastic song, which could have been a huge hit!! But what happened?! Only MIKAs fans got to know it - it should not be possible ... I'm really excited about this new song - but I do hope it's for another movie Love,love me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon my experiences, unfortunately movie makers only collaborate with singers to advertise the movie with the song and its video on music televisions. They rarely put the song into the movie, they keep it for the credits... I don't understand it but it seems like that's how it works. For example, Adam Lambert recorded a song for 2012 and Leona Lewis for Avatar but neither of the songs were played during the movies. If Mika's making a song for a new movie, then I really hope that it's gonna be for something bigger than Kick-Ass II so he can get more spotlight this time.

Indeed, I think the only time songs get any major spotlight at all in films, is if it's in a Quentin Tarantino film,or if it's the theme to a Bond movie. Otherwise it's quick clips of songs between/during scenes or at the end when the credits are rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame no one can comment on your vid, and Mika's Kick-Ass song goes really well with it. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omdeliom Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks so much for posting the video itself on the forum A. Clay! And Marilyn -- so happy that you enjoyed it! As I was watching all the footage they were showing here on tv, and getting emails and phone calls from well-meaning friends in who knew I lived in Boston, I realized there was so much focus on the terror and tragedy... And in fact there were SO many extraordinary beings who ran TO the explosion to help in any way they could... doctors and nurses who completed the marathon, THEN immediately ran to help the victims and went on to care for them in the hospitals... runners who also completed the marathon, then ran another 2 miles to donate blood... and the AMAZING positive, grateful, hate-free attitudes of those who were injured - even losing limbs... What a beautiful teaching that is! I also thought our mayor and governor handled everything beautifully... Angels were everywhere!!! There was SO much positive and supportive energy in the air -- and I love putting images to Mika's songs... And to me, Kick Ass was absolutely perfect for conveying the 'Boston Strong!' heart and message that I wanted to celebrate... Big Boston Love to the both of you!!!
