“I wanted to do something different,” explains Matthew Vaughn on the set of The King’s Man. “When I was a kid, films like Lawrence of Arabia filled the screen and were epic but not boring. And I was thinking that I want to bring back that genre.”
It’s April 2019, and Vaughn is in an office at a soundstage on the outskirts of Turin, somewhat frazzled as it’s Day 67 of a 75-day shoot. But the writer-director is also excited to share details of the new direction in which the Kingsman franchise is going. Because where 2014’s Secret Service and 2017’s Golden Circle were contemporary stories – featuring cutting edge action and futuristic technology – this new installment journeys back more than a century, to detail the origins of the world’s first independent spy organization.
