This show is a great departure from what is considered traditional entertainment in Vegas. From the moment you step into the theater, you’re handed a roll of crepe paper and told to decorate yourself with it – and if this doesn’t prepare you for what is one of the most unique shows on the Las Vegas Strip, nothing will. Throughout the entire show, no member of the Blue Man Group says a word, but their expressions and antics make their purpose and intent as clear as if they had shouted across the stage. Their performance is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before – a mix of performance art and comedy. If you’ve never seen a performance of the Blue Man Group, you should most definitely check out a show while you are in Vegas. Even if you’ve never heard of the name before it’s likely that you’d recognize the performers – they’re the ones who are painted entirely blue, from their hands to the tips of their ears, and otherwise dressed in black. So we just shoot and get it done.Are you looking for some entertainment that is unique, wacky, and at the same time extraordinarily clever? Perhaps you should check out the famous Blue Man Group. Matthew Vaughn: Our schedules are non-existent anyway. Q: What does that do to your schedule, when you’re shooting stuff in camera? I use it when I have to, but I just think it’s fake. It’s like, for me, CGI is for when you really can’t do it in camera. Matthew Vaughn: He has the sh*t kicked out of him but there might be some moron out there who thinks that’s a good idea. Q: Isn’t the point that he gets beat up, and it doesn’t work? So, the comic has inspired copy cats, not the film. But at the same time, I know there already have been copycats from the comic already. Q: Do you think this film could inspire any copycats? And he realizes that a real hero is someone who, even with something to lose, still does, takes a risk. And he realizes that the reason it stops most people from helping people in danger is that they’ve got to lose. At the beginning of the movie, he says, “Why does nobody help people?” Then he falls in love with someone, so he stops helping people.

What Dave learns is, he goes on a big journey.

Q: Does the movie have a message? Does Dave learn something through his experience? But I think it’s important that the fans are happy. Don’t take it to heart, I just think if there’s a good idea, I’ll listen. Q: For movies like this, that have such a fan following before it even comes out, are you the type to pay attention to the fan buzz on the internet? If I have to think too hard, then I know it’s not the right movie for me because either I just see it in my head and go off and make it, or I don’t. My rule is, if there’s a story I want to tell, then I’ll do it. Matthew Vaughn: Well, I’ve managed I think, from Layer Cake, Stardust, to Kick-Ass. Q: Do you want to do something different after this? Probably an original stunt is hard to film, something that people haven’t seen before. With modern technology, you can do anything nowadays. I mean, dangerous ones as well, probably are. Q: What kind of stunt is the hardest to film? Matthew Vaughn: Full-on, but it’s got a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, so it’s not gratuitous. So I’ve tried to put a narrative story into every action sequence. I mean, I’m very bored of the way most of the big movies shoot action, all this shaky camera, handheld, close cutting, quick cutting. Matthew Vaughn: Well, it’s 11-year-old girls slicing and dicing people, and getting shot. Q: What sort of crazy action can we look forward to? Literally, we sent him the script and he read it and said, “I’m in.” So it was a very easy process. You know, Nic wants to do good work, and he was very cool. Matthew Vaughn: Nic is a big comic book fan, and he just read the script and went, “This is cool. Q: Out of all these outrageous characters, did one become kind of like your favorite child? I think the studio movies… Well, The Dark Knight showed that you can, and Iron Man in a way, showed that you can mix it up a bit. Matthew Vaughn: I’d like to do a big studio franchise in this style, but yeah. Q: Is this more your sensibility than some big studio, big franchise, well-known comic book?
