Remember THE MATRIX? How about STAR WARS? Or SIN CITY? Or MINORITY REPORT?

Yes, everything you have heard about plot-borrowing in the new film WANTED is exactly right. We have a cubicle-numb hero and a secret society from THE MATRIX, replete with that film's physics-defying stuntwork. We have the father of the hero who was betrayed and murdered (but left his son his secret weapon) straight from the yellow pages of George Lucas' STAR WARS notebooks.

We also have a fate-determining device that propels the plot, much like MINORITY REPORT. And we have the gritty, hardboiled dialogue and voiceovers from the SIN CITY comic book adaptation. Writers MARK MILLAR and J.G. JONES - as well as screenwriters MICHAEL BRANDT and DEREK HAAS - obviously spent a lot of time rummaging through their DVD collection in preparation for this.

JAMES MCAVOY stars as Wesley Gibson, a chronically depressed office worker who lives with an unloving girlfriend in a rented hovel. He yearns to understand his place in the world. That wish is granted when ANGELINA JOLIE shows up and whisks him off to The Fraternity, as secret group of assassins led by MORGAN FREEMAN. You see, young Wesley is destined to become one of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ From the director of NIGHTWATCH and DAYWATCH comes a stylised, action-packed graphic novel adaptation that has everything you could wish for from the genre.

Awesome shots of the surreal, massive car chases, unbelievable stunts, expensive CGI and Angelina Jolie naked. It's also everything you'd expect though... well, except maybe for the casting of former Mr. Tumnus, onetime (fictional) associate of Idi Amin and period drama luvvie James McEvoy in the title role whose every aspect seems to be the antithesis of his previous roles.

Wesley Gibson is a nobody, a boring accounts manager in an insignificant office in the US. He's prone to panic attacks, his girlfriend is sleeping with his best mate and he is generally deeply unhappy. However, when Angelina Jolie crops up shooting bullets round corners and stuff, his life goes a bit crazy. It turns out he is the sun of an elite assassin who was part of a secret society who undertook killings on the basis of prophesies churned out by a loom (I kid you not) and his untimely death has necessitated the initiation of formerly insignificant Wesley Gibson into their ranks.

The set up is silly, over-the-top and basically totally crazy: but this actually works in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If we were living in Russia, the upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar's comic book Wanted starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman would be as hotly anticipated by geeks just as much as some of the other big films of the summer.

Sadly we don't and it isn't. We are stuck with some uber lame trailers, whilst all the good stuff from the movie goes into foreign trailers that the MPAA would never pass.

How bad-ass does this movie look from this trailer? Yeah it still feels gimmicky to the 10th degree but it oddly kinda works. Maybe it's because of the dialogue being missing (well not missing but in a different language) and there's no doubt this Timbor Bekmambetov is one hell of a visual genius.

BETTER IN HD
Finally McAvoy feels like he is leading the movie and not just observing it like a sidekick to a poor Angelina Jolie film. Less of the curvy bullets = more enjoyment from me.
I'm oddly finding myself looking forward to the movie now and all it took was a change of trailer.
Wanted opens June 27th worldwide. Still too many nods to The Matrix but let's hope it can stand on it's own.

		<description><![CDATA[Morgan Freeman is back with another narration, trying to seduce us into seeing another one of his movies.

Has their been actor so over-used, especially vocally in the last fifteen years?

I'm sick of him. His name means nothing to me now and doesn't get me anywhere near the movie if I know he is going to star in it. His voice would make a pretty cool addition to a car advert though...
EMBEDDING SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DISABLED ON VID, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!!!
Wanted opens worldwide at the end of next month starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann and Common for Russian director Timbur Bekmambetov (Night Watch).

		<description><![CDATA[Wanted looks to me like a movie full of special effects gimmicks that won't carry or do justice to the heart and sole of Mark Millar's story.

And don't get me wrong for one second, I love some of the things that are going on in the movie's many trailers so far but remember, not every film is as cleverly made as the first Matrix movie and can sustain new cinematic devices and some superb storytelling for the whole running time of a feature.

Today, Empire are running an exclusvie behind-the-scenes featurette which is mostly the comic book creator Mark Millar gushing over his first piece of work adapted for film.

YOU CAN FIND THAT HERE.

The film opens worldwide at the end of next month starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann and Common for Russian director Timbur Bekmambetov (Night Watch)

The time is rapidly approaching when you have to decide whether you are wanting to see the movie or not. At the moment, I'm 30/70 in favour of NOT seeing it with only strong word of mouth possibly being it's saviour.

How about you?

		<description><![CDATA[Although I would have highly advised Universal to wait on a sequel to see how well the first movie performs, the word has come today that the haphazard studio have hired Derek Haas and Michael Brandt once again to scribe a follow-up to Wanted, what we presume is now being setup as a franchise.

The big cast adaptation of the Mark Millar graphic novel will open on June 27th worldwide and despite muted anticipation - at best - across the web, Universal can't see it under-performing...
“We’re just finishing up a book adaptation for Universal of the James Siegel novel Deceit. We’ve been hired to write the sequel to Wanted by the same studio,” Derek Haas revealed to Pajiba. “And we’ve got a few more things in the hopper that it’s a little premature to talk about.”
James McAvoy leads (despite Angelina Jolie's bigger presence in the posters) as a guy who finds out his long lost father is an assassin and is soon recruited by his father's organisation to follow in his footsteps.

Morgan Freeman, Common and Terrence Stamp co-star for Russian director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch).

The film is reportedly budgeted at $65 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Everytime I see James McAvoy or Angelina Jolie trying to curve the bullet in the trailer for the comic book adaptation of Wanted all I seem to be reminded off is imagining them playing table tennis on the Nintendo Wii.

I don't think I'm going to like this movie. Reminds me an awful lot of the cartoon action movie that was Shoot Em' Up but with better looking people, and the boring actor that Morgan Freeman has truly turned into.

Feels a decade too late after The Matrix and it might just be one notch above Jumper in the glossy CGI stakes...

Wanted Exclusive Trailer

Add to My Profile &#124; More VideosI don't think McAvoy is right for this material at all and I'm struggling to take him seriously as an action star. Maybe this should have been the action movie that Brad Pitt starred in with Jolie instead of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

This screams WAIT FOR DVD but for those interested the movie opens on June 27th from acclaimed Russian director Timur Bekmambetov.
