Stop, or Angelina Jolie will shoot

This week the trailer and stills from Angelina Jolie’s new action flick Wanted hit the web. And when I say hit, I mean sped into like a bullet. Make that a lot of bullets.

The film, costarring Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, involves a secret society of assassins and a lot of shooting. While I can’t say I’m overly impressed with the dialogue, you really can’t beat the visuals. Angie and guns. So simple, yet so satisfying. (I recommend taking a look in hi-def here, too.)



It looks kind of like a glossy mashup of The Matrix and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The sage teacher, the veteran fighter, the unwitting everyman and a hail of bullets. Even Angie is like, hey, haven’t I seen this movie before?

Now, admittedly, I’m a sucker for a woman with a big gun. Or, better yet, a lot of big guns. Like this.

Or this.

Or this.

Or this.

So I'll probably see this film based on Angelina’s hotness alone. How about you? Will you take the blue pill or the red pill? Wait, wrong movie. Oh, who cares, close enough.

YYYEEEAAAHHH !!!!!!!!!

I'm so freaking eeeeeexxxxxxxcccccccccciiiiiiiiiiittttteeeeeddddd.

Angie alone makes me wanna see this on. Angie + gun, think i'll be running to the theater.

Have to say that I luv Morgan Freeman, he's a great actor. It sure going to be very intersting.

thanks for the post

Not like the comic

The comic was gritty and fantastic.  This looks like that Vin Diesel movie about the spies which is NOTHING like the way they have adapted the comic this is based on.  Despite Jolie something tells me this early media blitz is because the studio is freaked it's going to open big and then bomb in week two.

 Why does Hollywood option things only to mess them up?

I Agree

it's nothing like the comic book, but perhaps that's a good thing considering how truly wretched most comic book movies turn out : Hulk, Punisher, Daredevil, Electra, Fantastic Four just to name a few with obvious exceptions like: Road to Perdition(based on a graphic novel), 300 and Sin City...

I'm disappointed they swapped out the super villain concept in favour of assasins - this should definitely be bought up in the next "What were they thinking Vlog?!!", that said I'll probably be first in line when it opens...

'cause...well...it's Mrs. Smith for christsakes!, it'd be blasphemy not to!!.

*throws hands up* ..do whatever you want!..

i just thought of a corny pickup line..

"She doesn't need a gun to take my breath away".."She's not just Taking Lives.." ..annnnd scene. oh my. err okay. -10 cool points.

anyways..i saw this trailer a few days ago and i was just telling a friend earlier how i literally jumped out of my chair when she shot that look at the assassin..ooooh if looks could kill..

i can't wait to see this movie..

Out of the mouths of babes

My six year old asked "Is that Angelina Jolie in real life or in a movie?"

 

"In a movie," I told her.

 

"Then why'd they make her that skinny?"

 

I do <3 Angie, but she needs to eat!

Hmmm..

I'm impressed. Action sequences look really good, ...and so does Angie. I'm definitely considering seeing this when it comes out. Gotta start rounding up the women!! LOL

Don't be a slave to the unavailable!

Nice...

Love Angie with a gun. Love Angie period but I really love Angie in action movies. I think the movie looks pretty good. I'm in but would I see it if Angie were not in it? Probably not, unless the chick was equally as hot as her.

not like the comic THANKS GOD FOR THAT !!!

 

Since i read about this movie i try to read the comic but i cant finish is to F....ed up to sadistic.

 

 

 

 

SPOILER ALERT ...

 

 

 

 

 

In the comic THE WORLD IS RULED BY SUPERVILLAINS they had kill and defiled all the superheroes and the dead are the lucky ones, and the world have been brainwashed to erase any trace of their existense. all the participants in this are amoral and the people in the street are like ants to then, in their first escene in the drugstore THE FOX (thats the name of angeline character) kill more or less 10 people (women and kids to) just to show that she can do it.

 

So, not like the comic thats for sure.

 

PD: the movie was filmed before the comics see the light of day!!!

this is the link to wikipedia with more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanted_%28comics%29

Wow, that's pretty cool. The Fox seems like the perfect codename for Angelina.

thematic

First Jodie with a gun and now Angie with a gun...

Bang! Bang!

imthey's picture

Oh Yeah!

Oh Yeah... that's pretty much all I need to say Oh Yeah!

Angie with a gun should hopefully bring the people back to the theaters to see her after the disappointing box office of her previous couple of movies (although I thought she was fantastic in A Mighty Heart, and hope she gets an Oscar nomination).

I agree that Angie needs to put on a bit of weight and if she does that she'll be back to her fighting form, the one that got us all hooked to begin with.

Jolie

She is looking skinny but fine as HELL!!! She dont need guns. but, I do understand why she is skinny cause when she was filiming her mom was sick and /or passed away. Angie cant save movies though. Studios suck now. Instead of going for the story they try to go for money. Maybe, they will get the hint since ticket sales are low and probaly getting lower.
ElizaRuin's picture

I probably will go and see

I probably will go and see this just because of the hotness that is the Jolie.

Saying that, I think that every film which Freeman is in, he should play God. This film might disappoint me. Meh.

She's hot indeed!! Unreal

She's hot indeed!! Unreal and hot.

Especially when guns are involved.

Wanted: Angelina Jolie

Can't wait to see the movie.  Yeah, she does look too skinny. Still smokin  though .  I looooove her eyes in this movie.  I don't care if the movie is a repeat of something else.  Jolie makes it all the worthwhile just to go see.  Nobody complains when Tom Cruise plays the same character in a different movie.

smokin' hot

...Angelina with guns is about the sexiest damn thing I could imagine...

Bridget McManus

I first saw this trailer on the myspace blog of out comedian Bridget McManus. She suggested that she worked on the movie during filming, but she isn't listed on imdb, yet (it doesn't appear to be a full listing of the cast anyways).

Angelina and a HOT lesbian comedian?

Yes, I think I will see this movie.

Morgan Freeman

That man has such a cool voice he can pretty much convince me into watching any film. Though a film with Angelina Jolie and big guns its not like I'm gonna need much convicing. I just hope it has a better ending than Mr and Mrs Smith.
