The first trailer for the Mathew Vaughn film adaptation of Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons’ The Secret Service, now titled Kingsman: The Secret Service, has arrived. Much like its predecessor, Kick-Ass, there is a lot of emphasis on action.
It looks very much like a mash-up of XXX and Men In Black, and not only for the dark horse-as-surprisingly-adept-secret-agent aspects, but also for the presence of Samuel L. Jackson , though in this one, he’s cast as a villain (see "Sophie Cookson Gets Lead in 'The Secret Service'"). Sadly, there is no appearance in the trailer by either female lead (see "'The Secret Service' Casts Femme Fatale").
