Oct 29 2007'Wanted' Shots Indulge Male Fantasies
If there's one thing beer advertisements have taught us--besides to drink beer--it's that nothing sells better than indulging the fantasies of the adolescent male mind, better known as the testicle.
This can be seen above in this new shot from Wanted, where Angelina Jolie hanging out of a sports car shooting a giant gun hammers home the typical male fantasy more than a subscription to FHM.
Based on the comic, the film stars James McAvoy as the regular, identifiable guy who joins a secret assassin agency that trains him to unlock his hidden powers. Jolie play the hot, badass babe.

The only thing this movie took from the comic book was the name "Wanted" . Skip this one.

I don't know, I think the suits would look pretty goofy on the big screen. Mark Millar said that the beginning of the movie follows the first 5 or 6 pages of the plot exactly, so that's pretty neat.

It's Angelina Jolie. I don't give a sweet christ if she's reading a Dr Seuss book to a group of children. I'd still watch. Of course at the end of that movie she'd adopt them all. Rather, only the black ones.

If you give it a chance, I'm betting this will actually be a pretty cool movie. They just should have not used the name "Wanted" and paid Mark Millar some cash for the concept. Then just throw in one of those stupid disclaimers, "based in part on the comic, "Wanted" by Mark Millar." Then you don't piss off all the fanboys and still draw in the typical audience for this sort of movie.
Anyhow, it's not going to be very much like the comic at all aside from the initial concept and major elements (I hear they even fucked up the ending... which was probably the best part of the series). I'll probably still go see it...
