Carrey says 'Kick-Ass 2' too violent after Newtown

FILE - This March 11, 2013 file photo shows actor Jim Carrey at the world premiere of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. Carrey says that he “cannot support” the violence in his upcoming superhero action flick “Kick-Ass 2” in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The actor tweeted Sunday, June 23, that, after shooting the film last year before the Connecticut tragedy, “now in good conscience I cannot support that level of violence.” Carrey added that he wasn't ashamed of the film “but recent events have caused a change in my heart.” “Kick-Ass 2” is a sequel to the 2010 action comedy whose breakout star was the 11-year-old vigilante Hit-Girl, played by Chloe Grace Moretz. She reprises the role in the sequel, which Universal Pictures will release August 16. Carrey plays an upstart, superhero-costume wearing vigilante named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
