'Kingsman: The Secret Service', the second trailer has been released...

The film adaptation of Mark Millar's The Secret Service series of comic books has been delayed severely, despite completing production a few months ago, and it was originally set to be released later this year, until it was finally pushed back to February 2015. But, a few hours ago, the second trailer has made its debut, as well, showing more scenes from the film than the first one.

Online advertisement for the trailer before its release, featuring Harry Hart in the mannerism of The Ipcress File's Palmer along with a vibe of Classic James Bond thrown in.

It is, indeed, diverted a lot from the source material, and adopted the fantasy-oriented elements in a more massive manner than the comic book itself, with the trained spy carrying an almost superhuman strength during a combat or a firefight, impossible to be captured in a crossfire, while the comic book had more down-to-earth physics.

We finally, even though briefly, get to see the trainee operative, Gary Unwin in his full transformation into a gentleman secret agent, having left the thug life behind, thanks to his mentor, and veteran Kingsman agent, Harry Hart. Even though, there are many significant changes, as in altering character names, replacing a scene with another, while keeping the true basis of the storyline intact, there are sequences to be found in common with the source material.

Unbelievable athletic and physical combats are also part of the upcoming entertainment.

The film stars Colin Firth as the veteran agent, Harry Hart; Taron Egerton as the young protege and trainee operative, Gary Unwin; Samuel L. Jackson as the psychotic main villain, Valentine; Sofia Boutella as the henchwoman, Gazelle; Michael Caine as the head of Kingsman, Arthur; Mark Strong as the chief training officer, Merlin; Jack Davenport as a fellow gentleman secret agent, Lancelot; and finally the legendary Mark Hamill as the victim scientist, Professor James Arnold (which was the main villain's name in the graphic novel, but was altered for some reason). Mark Millar did act as a consultant for the screenwriters, Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn, who has also co-produced and directed the film itself, having participated in setting the basic plot for the comic book. The film will be released world-wide on 12th (and 13th) of February 2015, to be disturbed by 20th Century Fox.
