Jim Carrey is kicking his own upcoming movie Kick-Ass 2 to the curb, condemning the flick for its violence after what took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School last year.

Carrey took to his Twitter account to let his 10,863,000+ followers know that he no longer supports the movie he stars in. “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence.” The 51-year-old actor added, “I meant to say my apologies to others involve[d] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.”

Kick-Ass 2 and its predecessor are based on the Mark Millar comic book series about a teen superhero named Kick-Ass. Millar who also executive produced the film obviously had to respond to Carrey’s Tweets and he did so as a blog post on Millar World:

“As you may know, Jim is a passionate advocate of gun-control and I respect both his politics and his opinion, but I’m baffled by this sudden announcement as nothing seen in this picture wasn’t in the screenplay eighteen months ago.

“Yes, the body-count is very high, but a movie called Kick-Ass 2 really has to do what it says on the tin. A sequel to the picture that gave us HIT-GIRL was always going to have some blood on the floor and this should have been no shock to a guy who enjoyed the first movie so much.

“Ultimately, this is his decision, but I’ve never quite bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life. Our job as storytellers is to entertain and our toolbox can’t be sabotaged by curtailing the use of guns in an action-movie.”
