My point would be.....why reinvent something that's never been brought to the screen before? If it'd been done before, I'd understand them reinventing it....but, at this point.....they should simply called it "Inspired by Wanted" and not "Wanted".

That is so true.

My god man what has being a Mod done to you??? I remember back when CINO was coming out you stood with us now...well now your defending a movie that is on the same path.

Firstly i never stood with you or anyone when CINO came out as A i stand alone and B i wasn't even a member here

Secondly why is it so hard to grasp that what i'm saying is that the film will be unfaithful but it could still be a good movie in it's own right,being faithful to the book only makes it a good adaption of Wanted but even ignoring a lot of the book it can be a good movie as it's own entity

The reason they are reinventing it is b/c the book is unfilmable but i agree calling it inspired by would be a good move

James Cameron made Piranha 2



Has Nothing to do with it being good




Neither has that

1. It was his debut movie, so right after this one he changed situation with such cult movie as Terminator. What about Timur Bekmambetov, he made about 4 movies, and they all sucked.

2. Wow, and what about too unfaithful Catwoman, which was lately called CINO by fans?

3. The Incredibles, Spider-man, Batman ('89 & Begins) and also Superman movies have this aspect.

1.I haven;t seen them to judge but he has made 2 movies and he wrote them both,here he is not writing

2 and 3-So ? does that make them good ? B89 is pretty unfaithful and so is Batman Returns,X2 and so is BB but they are still good films,respecting the source material only matters to fans it doesn't make something a good film

1. Still he is director and so he can change everything in his movie what he wants to be changed. Script is one of the earliest stages in movie making.

2. BB was unfaithful? How? Nolan made the most faithful comic book movie (except SIn City, which was not about superheroes). And still, B'89, BR and even X2 had some superhero stuff. After what I heard, in The Wanted we won't see it.

1.He could in Russia not in the US

2.The made up Batman origin,the change of play,the Rachel Dawes character,the whole of Scarecrow.RA's being a white man
BR was not a superhero movie at all it was a carnival of the weird
Wanted isn't a superhero book to begin with.

1. You really think Universal is worried about the potential of movie as great adaptation. I think they need only money and good pop-corn blockbuster without making any sense.

2. Nolan explained Batman's origin, showed his learning skills, gave characters origin look (except Scarecrow and Ras), did a great work with Gotham and finally, his film made sense. Still, Wanted has some superhero issues, which are very important to be put in the movie.

Shouldn't this thread be in the misc comic movie forum?

1.I don't know what Universal want but im sure they will keep a leash on him

2.They were still all totally made up and Wanted will have the guys sklills but they are taking out stuff like rape for fun and him murdering ppl for kicks

1. Sure they will, but it's not a guarantee of quality.

2. I don't care about the violence as much as I care about the script and faith in comics. If he wants to make it look realistic, I am fine with this. But I don't want all main details to get changed. And as i think they will be changed since.

No because it stopped being about the comic.

2.Do you know what they are changing ? some of the stuff from the book was simply impossible

Like what stuff?

Like what stuff?

The lead character Wes commits rape and murders ppl for kicks

 

[Cinemaman]

The lead character Wes commits rape and murders ppl for kicks

Yep, but it has no connection with superhero stuff, which is going to be cut in story of the movie.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

The lead character Wes murders ppl for kicks

That could be put into the movie. The way I see it is if you have to pull a Catwoman just for a movie to be put onto the big screen then it doesn't need to be there.

You can take a concept and mould it into something different but good and tell me how you get the mainstream audience to get behind a rapist ?
There has to be some changes of his character

 

[Cinemaman]

Check out the synopsis of the film, there is no superhero stuff in it (and as I remember it was in comics).

He doesn't have to be a rapist. They could cut the rape stuff out and still be true to the book. What they are doing though is changing the whole story. Thats what I have a problem with. He is now more or less a Punisher/Batman rip-off. Really IMO this movie should have been a DTV because that why they could have stayed true to the story as well as cut the budget.
