Matthew Vaughn discusses how his new film Argylle was influenced by Romancing the Stone and the desire to make a movie his daughters would enjoy.
The Big Picture Next year, Kingsman and X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn will release his next feature, Argylle.

He shared that he watched the film with his daughters in a quest to convince them to watch something they wouldn't typically watch.
"So, I just thought 'Kingsman' was to 'Bond' and 'Kick-Ass' to superheroes. What about me doing my sort of Romancing the Stone-style, it’s not an adventure movie, but it’s more spy. But what I realized is we had pure escapism. You know, we’re all in lockdown, the world was a scary place, and for two hours of Romancing the Stone, we’ve all gone on this journey.
