MCT:March 27, 2008Plot: Based upon Mark Millar?s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov?creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch se...( read more )ries?Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody?s transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson.
25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut.
Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).
After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad?s death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself.
With wickedly brilliant tutors?including the Fraternity?s enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)?Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny. -
MCT:March 24, 2008--Oh Christ! Angelina Jolie? Seriously? This sounded like the best premise for a movie until I see her name.. ah well. I won't write it off... just yet.

The Mark Millar graphic novel off which this is based is spectacular, and while the trailer(s) seem to take at least the spirit of it, I hope that this movie doesnt turn into a simple (albeit blindingly awesome) action movie, devoid of any coherent/meaningful narrative.

The premise of Wanted is that all the world's super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world's superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image; prior to this the world was a brighter, more hopeful place (a clear reference to the end of the Silver Age). Superheroes are remembered as fiction (as they are in the real world), and behind the scenes a cabal of the leading super-villains run the entire world.
Mama's boy Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently-assassinated father was a super-criminal called The Killer, and that Wesley has inherited his perfect aim and uncanny skill with any weapon. Wesley enters a new life, and must deal with the most dangerous and evil people in the world — whose ranks now include Wesley himself.
The trailer looks bad ass but I wish they wouldn't call this movie wanted cause the movie plot is nothing like the above comic plot. Lame.posted 186 days ago -
