Matthew Vaughn's Secret Service Gets A Title Change
UPDATE: The trailer has landed.
20 May 2014 | Written by Phil de Semlyen | Source: Entertainment Weekly
Like all good espionage types, Matthew Vaughn's upcoming action-thriller has dipped into its big box of disguises, pulling out a couple of forged passports, a stick-on moustache and a whole new identity. No longer just 'The Secret Service', Vaughn's take on Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' comic book is now going by Kingsman: The Secret Service. The first trailer for the film is now online via Yahoo.

In addition to the first footage from the film, there are also some stills that show off its star Colin Firth in all his suave, John Steed-like glory, and the teaser poster, which takes its cue from Firth's nifty armory.
Kingsman: The Secret Service combines old-school Bond type (Firth) and his street-smart nephew (Taron Egerton), brought under the older man's wing for training in the family business. First mission: foiling a celebrity kidnap that’s part of a master plan by Samuel L. Jackson. Michael Caine is also aboard, adding to the spy pedigree. Yes, Bill Haydon, Nick Fury and Harry Palmer: together at last
And Vaughn is promising a movie that will tip a lead-lined bowler hat to that kind of spy movie history. “We missed all the spy movies we loved as kids, whether it was Bond or In Like Flint," he told Entertainment Weekly. "They had a sense of humour as well as being a thriller. With [Kingsman], we’re subversing the spy movie genre as we know it.”
Head to Entertainment Weekly for more pictures from the movie.
Co-written by Vaughn and his Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Stardust, X-Men: First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service also stars Mark Strong, Sofia Boutella, Sophie Cookson, Tom Prior and Jordan Long. It will be stealing into UK cinemas on October 17.
