I want to hear it,infact im going to comicon whenever theres a panel on this just to hear it,WHY? WHY would you take a story written and drawn like and re write it to the point where its almost unrecognizable????? and i wont leave without and answer unless security drags me out.I couldent wait after i heard about it getting green lit and now,who the f cares,its not the same story at all and most of the characters are missing.

If you could tape that please do so. I also want an answer to how you can mess up a book as simple as Wanted. I mean that book was not that hard to follow hell the comic was a movie script it self. So how on Gods green earth can you mess that up? I mean Wesley is not a hero nor was he by the end of the book nor did he have Super-Powers. But yet they are making him all these things just so kids can say he is cool. He was the **** before you made all these changes. Hell that speech he gives while killing all those people was just classic. Then the ending with him deflecting a bullet with his knife. I mean they had a picture of Superman beaten and in a wheelchair for crying out loud. I mean come on now. I want answers on how they ****ed this up and I better get some. This Catwoman will not happen again not if I have something to do about it. Please let me know which Comic-Con they will be at because I will ask these questions myself if I can make it.

Is this the earliest the fans have known that a comic book adaptation was going to be ****ed over?

 

[Chaos Bringer]

I wouldn't want to be sitting on that panel at the comic con !

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

The one question I want to ask them is has anyone even picked up the comic and read it? Because from what it looks like they are pulling a Catwoman and just making up things as they go.

 

[Chaos Bringer]

or why call it 'Wanted' ?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

So has this been put on the backburner?? Haven't heard **** about lately I hope so.

According to the interview with McAvoy in a recent Empire it's being prepped and looks to shoot this summer around June

 

[Silvermoth]

This movie would have to be rated R18+. And even then it would have to be heavily censored and written differently to the graphic novel

 

[Fenryr]

Director Timur Bekmambetov said his taking away the superpower stuff cause he don't like it

Is this accurate? If it is, then does he hate Night Watch? Day Watch? Dusk Watch? Why would you write, produce, and direct an entire series based around glorifying people with superhuman abilities if you don't like people with superhuman abilities?

Oh silly me. I actually thought they started listening to the fans and people who want to see this movie done right.

Last i checked hell hadn't frozen over and money was still the goal of movies

But still...I understand the point of people reading this and saying lets just change up everything that makes it what it is. I mean why even bother if your just gonna think up your own **** to do anyway? Just reminds me so much of Peters and Superman. And Hunter since your mod now I stopped getting e-mail notifications a couple of days ago what do I need to do to get those back?

I agree with you but what i think has happened is they looked at how cool the character looks and saw a marketing opportunity and built something PG-13 around that look

E-mail notifications about threads ?

Well I mean I thought I thought Catwoman should have given a strong example to everyone but the **** do I know I am just a loser movie watcher.

Yes. I always get them and a few days ago they just stopped.

Well being an unfaithful adaption and being CINO are two different things

Weird,i'm not sure why that would happem,is you Mailbox full maybe ? if not I'll ass them that knows

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

I just bought the Wanted TPB and it´s one of the best comics i´ve read in a long time.
So, in the words of the mighty Wesley Gibson, to all of the people working of this movie...


F**K YOU

 

[Chaos Bringer]

may this film burn to the ground from the fires of hell !

Mwuh-ha-ha

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

How the heck is this different then CINO??? I mean the only thing staying the same is the name of the people. They are really going to kill this movie and then when kids go and ask their parents for the book they are going to be shocked in what they read.

How do you feel Wes?

Like I just ****ed Marylin Monroe


They cut out *****head because of his name


I mean come on now Wanted IMO is a classic Modern Day comic and they really are going to piss all over it. Hell this movie might give Batman and Robin, CINO, and Superman III a run for its money.

Being INO doesn't make a movie bad,those movies you mention aren't bad b/c they are unfaithful to the source they are bad because they are badly made movies

I think it is related because they taking away the gritty hardcore stuff to make it more "audience friendly". I think I remember there being something about the first draft of Catwoman being completely different and darker but somewhere down the line it got Hollywooded up and we got the bomb known as CINO. I don't see a huge difference in the situations. This adaptation is looking like it is going through the same Hollywood treatment just because the studioheads feel it has a better chance of reaching a bigger audience therefore making more money. And yes I know it is a business but this is just another desperate attempt because they are running out of ideas to make some money...not make a quality film.

They could make a great PG-13 movie in the vein of BB,changing it from the unfilmable book doesn't make it bad it makes it unfaithful

From what I know and have heard about this it sounds awesome. But PG-13?? Sounds like it would hit the INO mark. Batman is nowhere near as violent and adult themed as Wanted sounds.

The book or movie ? and i don't know it may be R but certainly not NC-17 which is what it would need to create a faithful version

And yes i am certain it will be INO but it could still be a good movie just not really a Wanted movie

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

The book. It sounds hardcore and unafraid to go too far. It sounds like if they are going for a PG-13 rating it is going to blow hard but we will see I guess. It is very hard for me to optimistic when the majority of these adaptations these days are ****.

So, for an outsider who has never read the comic, what is wrong with this film so far...
