5. POST PRODUCTION
During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on
how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain
changes were made prior to submission
This film was originally seen for advice in an unfinished version. The
company was informed the film was likely to be classified 18, but that
their requested 15 could be achieved by making some reductions in
scenes of violence. When the finished version was submitted for formal
classification, reductions had been made and the film was passed 15.
6. MARKETING
The trade paperback collecting the comics miniseries was released in
January. Vaughn teamed up with luxury retailer Mr Porter to create a
60-piece clothing line based on the film.
Mr Porter worked with the film's costume designer, Arianne Phillips, to
design the bespoke suiting, while everything from the ties and shirts to
eyewear, umbrellas, shoes and watches were designed by heritage
brands such as Cutler and Gross, George Cleverley, Mackintosh and
Bremont.
The collaboration is the first of its kind, making Kingsman: The Secret
Service the first film from which customers can buy all of the outfits
they see. The film includes product placement for Adidas Originals.
