He’s not even finished in the editing booth for ‘X-Men: First Class,’ but director Matthew Vaughn(‘Layer Cake,’ ‘Kick-Ass’) has let it be known that he’s got his eye on a very intriguing superhero project … one that sounds a little like ‘Watchmen’ meets ‘Red,’ truth be told. The filmmaker’s wonderfully cool idea is to cast the likes of Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and **Clint Eastwood **as retired superheroes who must help their grandkids save the world – because their parents have screwed everything up.
The concept actually comes from UK television pundit Jonathan Ross, who is as sharp, smart and amusing as he is a gigantic comic book nerd. Deadline indicates that Mr. Ross’ book, entitled ‘The Golden Age,’ has yet to be published, but already this idea sounds like a big, fat winner. That’s all the early info we have so far, but given that Mr. Vaughn went off and bankrolled ‘Kick-Ass’ outside the Hollywood system, we’re betting the man has enough passion to pull this project off as well. (Fingers crossed.)
