Someone Fill Me In

[Neto Magnus]

I'm not too familiar with the GN's so I need some ideas for teaser poster concepts.

 

[xwolverine2]

according recent reports its nothing at all like the GN


so ur safe.......

 

[bored]

I read that ****head won't be in it. That makes me sad.

 

[Tempest19]

Everything about this film makes me sad, the director and writer raped one of the greatest graphic novels out there.

 

[TheVileOne]

What the hell, when did this happen?

Is that IMDB listing all legit?

I'm so confused.

 

[Cinemaman]

If anybody is intersted, Beckmambetov already worked on Hollywood movie (though it had very very low budget and was released only on VHS), which was produced by Roger Corman. So he has some experience in talking to movie studios' bosses (at least I hope so).

It's also my opinion...

 

[The Lizard]

Something tells me this forum isn't going to get a huge amount of traffic.

What is extremely saddening is.....equating the most vile attack upon a person with the making of a movie.

Let's not continue to write things like that people......it has no place here.

 

[Tempest19]

This is the only case where it's true though. This guy (the director) is the next Joel Shoemacker of the superhero genre.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Strange how everyone is so upset about the changes but Mark Millar, who read the script and saw the designs for sets and costumes and the animatics.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Btw, Millar is flying to Prague to meet director and cast.

What is this novel?

 

[Cristo]

Ohh...just noticed this.

What is it?

Oughta be fun...

The premise of Wanted is that all the world's super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world's superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image; prior to this the world was a brighter, more hopeful place (a clear reference to the end of the Silver Age). Superheroes are remembered as fiction (as they are in the real world), and behind the scenes a cabal of the leading super-villains run the entire world.

Mama's boy Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently-assassinated father was a super-criminal called The Killer, and that Wesley has inherited his perfect aim and uncanny skill with any weapon. Wesley enters a new life, and must deal with the most dangerous and evil people in the world — whose ranks now include Wesley himself.

Dude, chances are they deleted all that... in a recent quote by Millar stating, more or less, that everything in and revoling around a superhero costume is GONE.

Those who haven't read the graphic novel, like xWolverine, for example don't realize how big of a change this is. At least, imo.

It's Wino, because without all the super hero stuff, it loses it's entire point...

 

[Spider-Bat]

It's a shame from what I'm hearing that once again a graphic novel/comic gets ruined by Hollywood.

 

[chesslover]

Sounds like it should be named Unwanted.

 

[3dman27]

i concur ithink i'll take a pass on this movie

 

[shinlyle]

Exactly.

It may be a good film in it's own right, but "WANTED" is my favorite graphic novel of ALL TIME...and it's because of the way it handled superheroes and villians.

No $hithead and no &*^%wit and a PG-13 rating...? Screw that.

This isn't Wanted.


Looks like, after years or dormancy, I now have anew film on which I can hate...and it's the one I most wanted to love....

It's like you read my very soul.

WINO it is.

 

[shinlyle]

I remember hearing this movie announced, and cheering gleefully...

Then it was announced that it would be PG-13, and I died a little inside...

Then it was announced that it wouldn't involve superheroes at all, and I gave up on it...

Angelina Jolie's luscious lips can't even save this sinking ship.

 

[Spider-Bat]

I don't know anything anout this GN, but from what I've heard you guys saying it is a shame, my condolences to you fans.

These filmmakers that ruin these movies are going to destroy comic book movies to the point where no ones going to make them any more, the moron filmakers with no imagination should not make them for other people, make them for the fans, and don't do your own thing, do the comic as it is, if those idiots wanna' do their own thing then they should write theior own thing and leave our beloved books out of this!!!!!!!

 

[Spider-Bat]

I found out what this comic's about, and what the hell is the point of taking all that stuff out, why even do these things anymore?

I have had it with, we'll make a movie of this comic but we won't put anything in from the comic and make it all different and take out all the superhero comic book stuff, WTF! If you have no imagination then don't make a comic book movie.

Man, I'd like to find out one of these idiot director's favorite books or something then make a movie of it and totally ruin it and take out everything they cared about in it in the first place and see how they feel.

I think I'll make a movie about Santa Claus but he won't be called Santa claus, and he won't have elves, and he won't drive a flying sleigh, and he shouldn't wear a white beard, that's not realistic, and I wanna' take away all the hopes and dreams of children and the adults who even can still feel that magic, and cherish those memories of Santa from when they were children.

Then I'll make a movie about Elvis, but he'll be played by a really tall mexican guy, and he won't sing, he'll play the tombone, and he'll be gay, and he won't be called Elvis, he'll be called Elvin, yeah that is more realistic.
