Christopher 'McLovin' Mintz-Plasse is in negotiations to join the movie Kick Ass, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is said to be super violent and Hollywood studios passed on making it.

However, the main producer had so much faith in the movie that he went indie and raised $30 million to finance it himself!

Kick-Ass follows a high school dweeb who attempts to reinvent himself as a real-world costumed superhero named Kick-Ass who seems doomed to failure because he's not athletic or coordinated until he runs into real bad guys with real weapons.

Kids will be shown kicking the asses of adults of all stripes. For example, a ferocious, potty-mouthed 11-year-old will be shown chopping down crime thugs with a ninja sword.

McLovin will play the Red Mist, the angry teen son of a mobster who tries to uncover Kick-Ass' identity.

He better kick some ass too!
