On the I-wonвЂ™t-do-promotions side, Edward Norton refused to promote The HulkВ in 2008, due to personal differences with the filmвЂ™s producers Sean Connery also refused to participate in 50th-anniversary celebrations for the James Bond franchise.В ThereвЂ™s a potential reason few actors follow in NortonвЂ™s footsteps:В many actor contracts require participation in publicity events if thatвЂ™s the case for Carrey, he may face legal repercussions if he follows through on his tweeted intent.Д¬arrey, however, isnвЂ™t saying that Kick-Ass 2 is bad-heвЂ™s saying itвЂ™s, according to his thinking, wrong.

Likewise, the New York Times review of 1990вЂ™s The Freshman includes Marlon BrandoвЂs public statement that the movie is вЂњhorribleвЂќ and вЂњgoing to be a flopвЂќ and вЂњa stinker.вЂќ ThereвЂ™s little incentive for actors to say something before a movie even has a chance to be a success, something they benefit from regardless of quality, unless they think itвЂ™s so bad that it will reflect badly on them-which is what happened when Brad Pitt said he tried to walk away from The DevilвЂ™s Own, just about a month before that 1997 movie was due in theaters. Christopher Plummer waited even longer: he apparently dissed what he called вЂњThe Sound of MucusвЂќ for the beloved musicalвЂ™s 40th anniversary. Mark Wahlberg, for example, made 2008вЂ™s The HappeningВ but then publicly said it was вЂњa bad movieвЂќ while promoting The Fighter about two years later. Most stars do it after the fact, and mostly because they think the movie in question just isnвЂ™t much good. (More on that in the video below.)Д¬arrey isnвЂ™t the first actor to back-pedal on a project-but heвЂ™s still bringing something new into the mix. Mark Millar, the creator of the comic on which Kick-Ass is based, wroteВ in response to the tweet that the movie is вЂњone of CarreyвЂ™s best-ever performancesвЂќ and heвЂ™s вЂњbaffledвЂќ by what Carrey said, because itвЂ™s: (a) a work of fiction, (b) less violent than superhero blockbusters, (c) a movie that spends time talking about the consequences of violence, and (d) about a vigilante, CarreyвЂ™s character, who refuses to carry a gun. вЂњI did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,вЂќ he wrote, following it up with an apology to his colleagues and the clarification that he was not ashamed of the film itself but, rather, had changed his position on on-screen violence.ДЄs Alyssa Rosenberg at ThinkProgress points out, Carrey has not elaborated on what exactly heвЂ™s bothered by and why-or even what he means by вЂњcannot support.вЂќ Some of his fans have suggested that he donate his earnings from the film to a cause related to violence prevention, but consensus seems to be that he will at least refrain from promoting the movie. On June 23, actor Jim Carrey (who plays mobster-cum-crimefighter Colonel Stars and Stripes) tweeted to his 10 million followers that he could not back the film, which is due in theaters Aug. At least one person involved in the production isnвЂ™t so happy about that. Follow you didnвЂ™t guess from the title, Kick-Ass 2 is-like its predecessor-pretty violent.
