The title international intelligence agency that’s featured in the hit 2014 action spy movie, ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service,’ isn’t using any discretion in its latest tactic to promote the film’s upcoming sequel, ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle.’ In what is being called “The Greatest Movie Promo Ever,” 20th Century Fox has playfully teased that it has orchestrated the anticipated solar eclipse that’s set to happen this Monday, August 21, to promote the follow-up.
The studio has also created a special set of sunglasses that feature Colin Firth‘s character, Harry Hart, so that audiences can properly view the eclipse on Monday, which it’s calling Golden Circle Day. 20th Century Fox has also released a behind-the-scenes video that look into the process behind the visionary stunt. The sunglasses and clip are drawing attention to ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’s official release in theaters on September 22.
Like it’s predecessor, ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ was directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn. The filmmaker also reunited with his ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service‘ co-scribe, Jane Goldman, to write the script for the upcoming adventure comedy, which is based on the comic book, ‘The Secret Service,’ by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. In addition to Firth, the next big screen adaptation in the series also stars Julianne Moore, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Sir Elton John, Channing Tatum and Jeff Bridges.
20th Century Fox has released the following synopsis for ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’:
‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ introduced the world to Kingsman – an independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe. In ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle,’ our heroes face a new challenge.
When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy (Egerton).
