During a recent interview, Chloe Moretz
expressed her concern for online piracy, and
claims that it is the sole reason why we will
never see another Kick-Ass sequel. She also
reveals that she has no plans on returning if
Kick-Ass 3 comes to fruition.
Here is what she had to say.
"Sadly, I think I'm done with the character. Hit-
Girl was a very cool character, but I don't think
there will be any more movies. You make these
movies for the fanboys, but nowadays everyone
seems to pirate them rather than watch them in
the movie theater. Kick-Ass 2 was one of the
number one pirated movies of the year, but that
doesn't help us because we need box office
figures. We need to prove to the distributors
that we can make money from a third and a
fourth movie - but because it didn't do so well,
we can't make another one. If you want more
than one movie, everyone has to go and see
movies at the cinema. It's all about the
numbers in the theater."
This isn't the first time piracy has been blamed
for poor box office numbers, The Expendables 3
most recently felt the effects of the crime. The
film did poorly in theaters, presumably because
it was leaked a few weeks before it's official
release.
The actress went on to discussed how female
superheros are depicted in movies.
"Whenever there's a female superhero, it's
always a more sexual plotline rather than seeing
an actual character onscreen. I don't think
that's cool. I think it's rather sad. I would love
to change that. Hopefully, there will be some
cool female superhero movies in the future. I
hear there's a Wonder Woman movie coming
up. Hopefully they won't sexualize Wonder
Woman, too."
What do you think about a third Kick-Ass
project and did piracy have a role in killing it?
Kick-Ass was released April 16
