Colin Firth Is Dressed To Kill In New SECRET SERVICE Stills

 

The Secret Service is an upcoming spy film directed by Matthew Vaughn ("X-Men: First Class"), based on a comic created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. Hit the jump to see some new images that include Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson and newcomer Taron Egerton.

 

Colin Firth talks action movie debut in 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' -- FIRST LOOK

 

Colin Firth plays a suave intelligence agent who grooms a teen delinquent (British newcomer Taron Egerton) into a superspy in Kingsman: The Secret Service (out Oct. 24). The film — co-starring Michael Caine and a villainous Samuel L. Jackson — is based on the beloved comic book by Kick- creator Mark Millar, itself a riff on Millar and director Matthew Vaughn’s mutual love of old espionage flicks.

 

“We missed all the spy movies we loved as kids, whether it was Bond or ‘In Like Flint.’ They had a sense of humor as well as being a thriller,” says Vaughn, who dreamed up the idea of Kingsman with Millar over what he calls a “few drunken conversations at the pub.” “With [Kingsman], we’re subversing the spy movie genre as we know it.”

This one may slip under the radar for now due to all the superhero films this year.

Maybe I'm just forgetting something from the story, but why are they adding Kingsman to the title?

 

There was a movie held up by the studio that owns the James Bond film rights because it could lead to people assuming it ties back to Ian Fleming's creation. Maybe this was that movie, and part of what they had to do was change the name.

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE Release Date Pushed Back

 

----------------------------

It could be a bloody Valentine's Day for 20th Century Fox's Kingsman: The Secret Service as the film will now be released during the holiday weekend (February 13, 2015). It will now face off against the uber-sexy, Fifty Shades of Grey. The Matthew Vaughn-directed film was supposed to open October 24. According to Collider some "additional photography" may have been the cause for the delay.
