More New Wanted Pictures Emerge
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 series -- 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.
Wanted was released June 27th, 2008 and stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Terence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann, Common, Kristen Hager, Marc Warren. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov.

Well, if only they stayed true to the comic book. It was really good. The more and more clips or pics from the film show up the more I see how much it really differs from the book.

I actually agree annoying. With the sleeper portion, not the angelina spitting out baby's portion.

Wanted is going to be a badass, edgy action movie. Great cast, subversive tone and action spectacle.
I've been waiting a while to see this movie. Every summer, there is at least one sleeper hit movie...this looks to be it.
Footnote: Angelina Jolie is absolutely beautiful, but would someone remind her to eat an extra sandwich or two? I could pick my teeth with her bony arms...And...the third world baby adoptions are so early 2007. I get the feeling she has been overcompensating for her bizzare youth acting out phase by feeding into an Uber Mother complex. We get it, you're very maternal.
