"We actually used same lenses 'Lawrence of Arabia' was shot on. Which was good and b, y kept falling out of focus and falling apart, but we didn't have to colour gre it. We shot as much as possible in camera. I love CG, but I think re's a little too much of it at moment," he said.
Having alrey tried his hand at directing a prequel with X-Men: First Class, Vaughn said he used this experience for King's Man.
"I did a movie called 'X-Men: First Class', and what I learned from that film is that, when you're using characters that are kwn, it's hard to do plot twists. "I wanted to do an origin movie that h hardly anything to do with 'Kingsmen', apart from re is a tailor shop... I think people who hates Kingsman might reluctantly like this one," he said.
