Wanted 2

[xwolverine2]

well there seems to be no sequel forum even though there will be one


:yay:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Seems like its moving ahead, glad McAvoy and Bekmembatov are back, hope they cut the stupid bits out of this movie, like thousands dying on the train just so Wesley could get his so called 'revenge.'

[xwolverine2]

they're killers... people die lol

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

they're killers... people die lol

But they are meant to be killers who try and do the right thing, 100's of people dying just so Wesley can assasinate one guy makes him a mass murderer, and a very unlikable person.

[Star]

This is getting a sequel? I really wasn't that impressed by the first one

I still love McAvoy though

[xwolverine2]

But they are meant to be killers who try and do the right thing, 100's of people dying just so Wesley can assasinate one guy makes him a mass murderer, and a very unlikable person.

well they thought his father was threatening the whole fraternity... and if the fraternity no longer exists even more will die.
so yea, its worth a small train.lol

i cant even imagine what timur would do now that he has an actuall summer blockbuster budget:wow:

[Crazy Flakes]

Yeah, I wasn't really feelin' the first one. It was good for entertainment value, but quality-wise it was pretty bad. It had some good eye candy though...Jolie and McAvoy :up:

[Blackman]

I liked the movie except for "The Loom of Fate" I thought that was real stupid. I can take bending and clashing bullets but taking a Loom's orders was terrible.
I want them to do something where somebody says "Do you really took orders from a f***ing loom?"

you probably would of liked him even less if it was like the comics lol

for people who read comic books... this is not too crazy compared to other wierd ass comic book myth..:oldrazz::whatever:

[Gilpesh]

Yeah. But you're forgetting one key part of that 'weird ass comic book myth'.... it's usually interesting enough to allow for a huge suspension of disbelief.


A bunch of people taking orders from a loom though... is ****ing retarded.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

One or two dying, yeah, the whole train? Sorry, he was more of a villain than any of them after that.

you probably would of liked him even less if it was like the comics lol

The comic didnt really interest me enough to read it to be honest.

[Kahoot]

The movie Wanted was just rubbish why would they make a second movie? Wait 10 or 15 years and reboot it and do it right! Read the comics before you write a script next time.

[xwolverine2]

The movie Wanted was just rubbish why would they make a second movie?

because everyone loved it :cwink:
even critics which is insane for a movie like that...

it was also one of the underdog movies of that summer.. with a budget of 75mil... and it made more than triple that back.

[EVILNEON]

I liked it ! I think the game looks even beter.

[Kahoot]

because everyone loved it :cwink:
Everyone loved it? Sorry but I'm sure I'm someone and I hated it.

[xwolverine2]

and thats called a minority lol

[Kahoot]

and thats called a minority lol
Maybe so but the point is it still means that not everyone likes the movie. Everyone I've spoke hated it, and by that I do mean everyone.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

But they are meant to be killers who try and do the right thing, 100's of people dying just so Wesley can assasinate one guy makes him a mass murderer, and a very unlikable person.

Umm...in the comic he said he ****ed, raped, and killed a female celebrity he liked. All of them were a bunch of sadist/rapist assassins. There was no moral code or conduct; it was all askewed and ambiguous.

[xwolverine2]

Maybe so but the point is it still means that not everyone likes the movie. Everyone I've spoke hated it, and by that I do mean everyone.

not everyone will like every movie....

in this case... the majority of the people that saw it. loved it.

[xwolverine2]

HOLY CRAP wanted2 = 150$mil budget + angelina jolie is back!
Russian newsite RIA Novosti had a chance to talk to that country's biggest filmmaker Timur Bekmabetov recently, and he told them that he has started preparations on making the sequel to the 2008 summer hit Wanted and that they've found a way to bring Angelina Jolie's character back.

Talking about the tentatively-titled Wanted 2, Bekmambetov told them, "In July we will start preparation for the film. I think in the late autumn or winter shooting will be performed. The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia."

Besides Jolie's character, Fox, Bekmambetov hopes to bring back the character played by Kostya Khabenskiy, who also starred in Bekmambetov's breakout films Night Watch and Day Watch, as well as introducing new characters. The sequel reportedly has a $150 million budget, which is the biggest Hollywood production made by a Russian filmmaker, and Bekmambetov will once again have Russian crew involved in all aspects of production.

(Thanks to the English language site Russian InfoCentre for the translation.)



if timur can do these crazy movies with such a tiny budget imagine 150mil!!
this will be siiick!

[Gatchamanjp]

I am definitely looking forward to...Wanted 2 as I found the first to be a highly entertaining action film.

[louiebling$]

Bring on the sequel.. and please give wesley the suit like in Weapons of Fate.

[strikezone89]

I loved the first one even though it wasnt true to the comic... i cant wait for the sequel

[X-Maniac]

Interesting to see that news item on the fiont page about Wanted 2 and Jolie returning.

The source is stated as Russian InfoCentre, for which the link is here (http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/8375/)

That site says its source is Ria Novosti, which is here (http://en.rian.ru/).

When you click on that Russian news site, you can choose a language (including English) and I cannot find any mention of this story on Wanted 2 and Jolie returning at all.

Can anyone else see the original story?:huh::huh:

[The Ace of Knaves]

I liked the first one. It was just a completely over the top and ridiculous action movie. What's wrong with that? You know it might just be me, but sometimes when I go to the cinema I want to be astounded by ridiculous things that are not possible in real life. I must be crazy to think like that...

Kahoot why did you hate it?

[Nivek]

If they go in a different direction than Millers comic, I'm all for it.

[Retroman]

I just knew they'd find some way to bring Jolie back and certainly with a budget like that (150 mil:wow:).

One wonders though how they're going to find a plausible to resurrect her character without "cheating" the audience.:o
Bring on the sequel.. and please give wesley the suit like in Weapons of Fate.

I agree and that costume is almost the same as the comic's anyway.:cwink:

The story (http://www.rian.ru/culture/20090606/173469959.html) is there but it's only available in russian.

IMO they already did that.

[xwolverine2]

they could bring her back the same way they brought back Viktors character in the underworld series..

[The Ace of Knaves]

If they go in a different direction than Millers comic, I'm all for it.

It's Millar :cwink:

And the first one had absolutely nothing to do with the comic apart from in name.

I didn't mind the comic though to be honest. Pretty interesting take on the super hero mythos. But I understand it definitely isn't to everyones tastes.

[Blackman]

Hated the comic, regret buying it
But I dont regret buying the movie at all...any time I need mindless action its right there

[Joker8906]

you guys think that the movie will take place after the events of the game? or if they will even acknowledge the games story

[The Ace of Knaves]

Your English teacher rocks.

[Joker8906]

haha his class is the only one i never skipped

I enjoyed the movie alot, but it wasnt ridiculous. Over the top - yes, unrealistic - yes, but not ridiculous. A movie that was ridiculous was Rush Hour 3. It almost ruined the franchise for me, being a Jackie Chan fan and all. RH3 was over the top and ridiculous. Wanted was over the top cool.

Wanted was awesome, so I'm pumped for a sequel. How would Angelina Jolie's character return?

Ridiculous doesn't necessarily mean bad. It was ridiculous. Unrealistic and over the top=ridiculous :D

I have never read the comics or anything, just liked the movie though. My theroy is that Wesley throws her in the "bath" for awhile and she is all healed.

Just my $0.02.

Just saw this over on ComicVine & here's your answer. :o


Bekmambetov told MTV once again that he wants to bring her back and that they already have a plan to do so.

If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax. We know how to do this, but it's still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head.

But there has to be a reason for her to come back... and we know the reason. I think we found the reason for her to come back.

[Anti-Moderator]

Oh they found a reason all right....they need a big name for the sequel. I always wondered why they didn't give themselves more wiggle room for bringing the character back. Thank the almighty Loom of Fate for magic hot wax baths!

[VideoMaker]

its so nice 1^^
