Publisher's Synopsis
A four-volume set of action movies. In 'Wanted' (2008), a mundane office worker is transformed into a lethal assassin. Trapped in a dead-end office job, unappreciated by his boss, and cheated on by his girlfriend, Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) has accepted that he's never going to amount to much in life. But all that changes one day when he meets the enigmatic Fox (Angelina Jolie), a member of a secret society of assassins named The Fraternity who want to recruit Wes into their ranks. In 'Kick-Ass' (2010), Aaron Johnson stars as run-of-the-mill high school student Dave Lizewski, who, disillusioned with his humdrum existence, is inspired by the heroes of the comic books he loves to become a real-life superhero called 'Kick-Ass'. His first attempts to fight evil-doers meet with little success, but undeterred by his various setbacks Dave perseveres and eventually joins forces with mysterious vigilante Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter, Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz), to bring down local crime boss Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong). In 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World' (2010), Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a 22-year-old slacker who plays bass for garage band Sex Bob-omb and is casually dating a pretty but vacuous high school girl. When the drop-dead gorgeous Ramona V. Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) rollerblades into his life, Scott falls head over heels for her, but there's a major catch: Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends stand in his way, each one more violent and malicious than the last and all equally intent on obliterating her new love interest... Finally, in the superhero sequel 'Hellboy 2' (2008), the mythical world starts an uprising against humanity in a bid to take over the Earth, and Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and his team are all that stand in their way. Can the superheroic red-faced demon prevent the destruction of mankind once again? Guillermo del Toro writes and directs, and Selma Blair reprises her role as Hellboy's love interest, Liz Sherman.
