‘X-Men: First Class’ Director Matthew Vaughn Presents ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Trailer Starring Colin Firth, Mark Strong, & Samuel L. Jackson!

After taking theaters by storm with X-Men: First Class, writer/director Matthew Vaughn returns to take another comic book into the big screen. Check out the action-packed trailer to Kingsman: The Secret Service, starring Colin Firth, Mark Strong, and Samuel L. Jackson.

After making the crime drama, Layer Cake, writer/director Matthew Vaughn kept the ball rolling with the butt-kicking, though controversial, comic book adaptation of Mark Miller and John Romita Jr.'s Kick-Ass. While staying faithful to the source, Vaughn put his own visual creative spin on the material and will continue with his latest project.

From Icon Comics, Marvel's imprint line, the action flick is based on The Secret Service: Kingsman, from writer Miller and artist Dave Gibbons. In a reinvention of the spy genre, British secret agent, Mr. James Arnold, feels guilty about his deadbeat sister and takes his teen delinquent nephew, Gary, under his wing. Arnold's super-secret spy organization, Kingsman, will refine the street kid in the agency's ultra-competitive training program. In the end, will Gary be able to stop a global threat from a twisted tech genius?

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Firth enthusiastically discusses being in his first action movie, "I don't think I've ever enjoyed myself so much in my life. I realized that I'd made assumptions about myself that meant I had probably been neglecting something that I might have enjoyed for years if I'd got to it earlier."

In the same interview, Vaughn came up with the espionage concept under a drunken binge with Miller, "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. With [Kingsman], we're subversing the spy movie genre as we know it."
