Perhaps Carrey can beat them to the punch.
I think if Carrey continues on down this path, the studio should sue him and get a portion of his salary back. Perhaps a better analogy would’ve been movies in the ‘70s, where Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson are shooting everything in sight, but people then were merely protesting that the heavy metal albums were making kids do bad things. I think Millar’s quote is great, except for the Harry Potter bit. Our job as storytellers is to entertain and our toolbox can’t be sabotaged by curtailing the use of guns in an action-movie.”
This is his decision, but I’ve never quite bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life.
Jim carrey kick ass 2 movie#
Yes the body-count is very high, but a movie called Kick-Ass 2 really has to do what it says on the tin. Mark Millar, the executive producer of Kick-Ass 2, responded in a blog post stating: “As you may know, Jim is a passionate advocate of gun control and I respect both his politics and his opinion, but I’m baffled by this sudden announcement as nothing seen in this picture wasn’t in the screenplay 18 months ago. Kick-Ass was rather successful, and a second one is on track to be as well. After the following season, he was no longer with the show.Ĭarrey isn’t telling people not to see the movie, but what does he expect statements like this will do when it comes to how the film does at the box office? There is some speculation that this is all for publicity to help the movie. Jones quickly apologized a few days later. He said he was a Christian and the show went against his values. He went on a website and told people not to watch the show because it was garbage.

This all reminded me of actor Angus Jones, the kid from the TV show Two and a Half Men. Was Carrey not aware of these shootings? Is it just the Sandy Hook shooting that got to him? What about other violence in films, that don’t involve guns? Is he also against that? Is he going to speak out regarding the violence in video games, which surely desensitizes kids a lot more than movies probably do.Ĭarrey has been outspoken when it comes to gun control, and I recall near the end of March, a video he posted online where he sings a country style song called Cold Dead Hand. Not to mention the fact that other shootings have happened before he started shooting this (take the one in Colorado at the Batman movie Dark Knight Rises, for example). What perplexes me is the fact that the first Kick-Ass film (based on the comic book series) was rather violent. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.” That was followed by this tweet: I meant to say my apologies to others involve with the film. “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence. He claims he isn’t on board with the violence in the film, especially after the Sandy Hook shooting. The character is a born-again ex-mobster.Ĭarrey has said that he had a change of heart about the movie, which opens in mid-August. He apparently played a character named Colonel Stars and Stripes in the movie Kick-Ass 2. Movie stars often say stupid things often about politics or hot button issues.
