Credit all to Just Jared - thanks!

if you don't know about this movie:

Quote:

Angelina Jolie will star next alongside James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman in Wanted, reports Variety.

Wanted is an action film from Universal Pictures based on a graphic novel that Timur Bekmambetov will direct.

Angelina accepted the role after the script was rewritten by Dean Georgaris (Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life) to tailor the character for her (script was originated by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas).

Angelina, 31, will play an assassin who trains a wanna killer (McAvoy) and will travel to Eastern Europe in May to begin shooting.

Sounds hawt

I still don't care for the way this movie is heading, the man behind Cradle of Life is hardly who I'd choose to write it, if they tone it down to PG-13 I'll be pissed.

But, if they do have Angie wear the Fox's catsuits I'm game no matter what.

Anyway, thanks for the pics, Keri, she looks good, even those nasty tags can't take away from that.

Some more information on "Wanted"
Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie Are "Wanted" for Graphic Novel Adaptation

Scott Weinberg writes: "Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy seem to be locked up for "Wanted," an assassination thriller based on a graphic novel by J.G. Jones and Mark Millar.

Timur Bekmambetov, of the "Night Watch" series, will be behind the helm when "Wanted" begins production this May in Eastern Europe. The screenplay adaptation comes from screenwriters Michael Brandt ("2 Fast 2 Furious") and Derek Haas ("Catch That Kid"), with a re-write by Jolie's "Tomb Raider 2" pal Dean Georgaris.

The story's about a guy who follows in his hitman father's footsteps after the old man is, you guessed it, assassinated. McAvoy will be the killer-in-training; Jolie his mentor. Apparently Ms. Jolie's character was a guy in the source material, but guys aren't sexy. Angelina Jolie ... is sexy.

Jolie 'Wanted' for Universal film
Actress to star with Freeman, McAvoy
By MICHAEL FLEMING, DIANE GARRETT
Variety Posted: Mon., Mar. 19, 2007, 8:00pm PT

Universal Pictures has set Angelina Jolie to star alongside James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman in "Wanted," an action film based on a graphic novel that Timur Bekmambetov will direct.
Pic will be Jolie's next, with shooting to begin in Eastern Europe in May.

McAvoy will play a young man who discovers his father is an assassin, only to learn shortly thereafter that his dad has been murdered. The youth is drafted to follow in his father's footsteps. Jolie will play an assassin who teaches the ropes to the wannabe killer.

Script was originated by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, and Jolie took the role after a rewrite by Dean Georgaris ("Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life") to tailor the character for her.
Marc Platt, Jim Lemley, Jason Netter and Iain Smith will produce.

Deal marks the second recent U commitment for Jolie, who'll star this fall for director Clint Eastwood in drama "The Changeling," to be produced by Imagine Entertainment partners Brian Grazer and Ron Howard and Malpaso's Rob Lorenz.

She will next be seen starring as Mariane Pearl in "A Mighty Heart," produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and opening June 22 via Paramount Vantage. She then stars in the Robert Zemeckis-directed "Beowulf," which opens in the fall. Jolie is also booked to star in "Atlas Shrugged," a Randall Wallace-scripted adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel for Lionsgate.
Jolie is repped by Media Talent Group topper Geyer Kosinski.

Okay, now I'm really confused. His mentor was a chick, I mean the whole group kinda showed him the ropes but his one-on-one teacher of sorts was female.

I don't know the comic at all, from what I have read the movie is going to be very, very different. I'm sure this will enflame fans of the comics, but for moviegoers like me this sounds like a cool project. Plus I was in Prague last year so I'm looking forward to seeing what locations they use

Surely that can't be confusing you though BW

BlackWolf · 07-08-2007, 10:19 PM

^No, no, that part I'm crystal clear on, I'm just wondering why they're f*cking with things to give her a role that was always there.
