Welcome... to the Fraternity. This gun you're holding belonged to your father, he could conduct a symphony orchestra with it.

Wanted’s Fox won’t be black? There’s been some consternation regarding the choice of Angelina Jolie playing the Fox in the upcoming Wanted Movie.
Some bloggers have expressed their opinions that the Fox should be black (or at least Puerto Rican according to one blogger), because the character is dark-skinned in the comic book.
Do I agree? While I see their point and agree totally that the character should have been kept true to the comic book…I like Angelina Jolie and think she can fill the role nicely.

The latest news from Angelina herself?
“Back to work on the set of wanted. I kind of like being away from my whole mini soccer team of a family. Nice break for me.”
or how about…
“Getting in the bath naked!”

This comes from the National Ledger web site:
“Brad Pitt had to know when he took up with Angelina Jolie that she would at some point be involved in some pretty intense sex scenes in movies. Her chain link lesbian scene with Elizabeth Mitchell (yes she is the same blonde heating up what’s left of the ABC series ‘Lost’) in the 1998 film ‘Gia‘ is legendary and many still consider her a red hot big screen vixen. She may be a mom of four but she still is smoking hot. Now a report from Life & Style Weekly claims that family man Brad, may be having some trouble with the love scenes in the film.
According to a report - Angie and actor and Scottish hunk James McAvoy have some very serious and steamy scenes in the upcoming thriller Wanted. The report also notes that Jolie is already talking with her handsome new co-star by phone off-camera. Brad is also reportedly upset with the violence in the film. A short plot summary at IMDb gives this: A young man (McAvoy) finds out his long lost father is an assassin. And when his father is murdered, the son is recruited into his father’s old organization and trained by a man named Sloan (Morgan Freeman) to follow in his dad’s footsteps.
The report from the weekly entertainment magazine claims that Brad has sworn off what is called in the item ‘ultra-violent’ movies since he is now a dad to four very young kids. An insider says the film is slated to be ‘very bloody.’ Is this all a bit much for Brad piled onto everything else?”
I can understand how he might feel - but hey, wouldn’t it be hypocritical for him to complain? After all, Angelina stole him from his first wife. So what if someone steals her from him - what goes around comes around. (Karma, ya know.)
Besides…she is smokin’ hot after all.

In the opinion of many genre-film fans, the most visually arresting images of the past half-decade didn’t come from the works of Spielberg, Fincher, Aronofsky or Tarantino. Instead, they were conceived by Timur Bekmambetov, the affable Russian whose “Night Watch”/”Day Watch” series has captured the razzle-dazzle of Hollywood’s blockbusters for mere pennies on the dollar.
His loyal fanbase has long wondered what it would be like if Bekmambetov ever got his hands on an American production. In nine months, they’ll have their answer.
” ‘Wanted’ is an embracement of a new reality,” said Bekmambetov, admitting that his tenuous grip on the English language is less of a liability given the international language of the action flick. “I’m just trying to be myself. It’s understood that [my American cast and I] are the same, and the same things make us tick.”
Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Common and James McAvoy are just a few of the high-powered stars who hunted down Bekmambetov when they heard he was making “Wanted,” a slick comic book thriller that’s been called a “Watchmen” for supervillains (see “Common Exclusive: MC To Act Alongside Angelina Jolie In Ultra-Violent ‘Wanted’ “). Calling in from the Prague set to promote his currently in-theaters “Day Watch,” the director gave us an exclusive preview of the next world he’s creating.
” ‘Wanted’ is the story of a young boy who discovers that his father is a member of an evil organization that controls the world - when he gets killed, the boy wants revenge,” the director said of the “Bourne Identity”-like setup, which casts “Last King of Scotland” star McAvoy as the villainous protagonist. “It’s a comic book movie, but it looks real. For me, it’s the same experience as ‘Night Watch’ and ‘Day Watch’ because what we are trying to do is tell a fantasy story with real drama and without conventions. Every time, we are undercutting it with reality.”
Based on Mark Millar’s stunning graphic-novel series, “Wanted” gives us an angst-ridden, 25-year-old cubicle slave (think “Fight Club”) laid low by a disloyal girlfriend and a domineering boss. After discovering that his late dad was a member of the Fraternity - a secret league of assassins - he realizes he’s been blessed with extraordinary powers that make him a perfect recruit. With help from some atypical tutors, he soon finds himself carrying out the death orders of the Fates, literal weavers of every human’s lifeline.
“This is ‘Night Watch’ and ‘Day Watch’ but four times together,” Bekmambetov said of the film’s scope. “It’s much, much bigger. We built a huge textile factory in Prague. … The production designer, John Myhre, made ‘X-Men,’ ‘Chicago’ and ‘Memoirs of a Geisha.’ He’s built this huge set, and we’ve created a mythology in this world of weavers.”
Although the violent/sexy, reality/fantasy mix would seem to play to the strengths of Jolie in particular, Bekmambetov is quick to insist that the film won’t be “Tomb Raider 3.”
“Angelina had seen ‘Night Watch,’ and she liked it,” he said, referring to the trippy flick that broke Russian box-office records before its successful run in the States last year. ” ‘Wanted’ is something new for her; she just wants to do something new every time, and I like that. She understands what it means to be with our team.
“Young people will like [McAvoy’s Wesley Gibson] because he is very sarcastic, very smart, very provocative and very solid as a character,” the filmmaker continued. “Angelina has a lot of interesting dramatic moments with James. They will love each other, and they will hate each other. She’s a teacher who will bring James into this world and teach him how to be different, be a killer.”
Along the way, Wesley will also encounter the Gunsmith, a tough-guy character played by actor/rapper Common. “We shot him today, in a scene with a gun,” Bekmambetov said excitedly. “He teaches people how to use guns. He’s a professional gunman.”
Finally, Bekmambetov revealed one more piece of casting, saying he wanted to keep an old friend around for his new gig: “We have Konstantin Khabensky, Anton from ‘Night Watch.’ He’s playing in this movie, too, and he has a very funny character.”
The director said he plans to once again create a reality brimming with visual revelations - and then take it all apart. “We will create a world, and then we will destroy this world,” he laughed. “The hero will discover the whole world. It looks ordinary, but it’s not. It’s an industrial world filled with weaving machines, lots of traps, lot of looms flying back and forth and predicting the future. The looms weave these fabrics, and the fabrics have a pattern, like a binary code, that has information. The weavers can read the fabric - they see the structure of it and they can read its messages. Then they know who has to be killed to keep the balance of the world.”
Sure, it seems hard to explain - but then again, try describing “Day Watch” or “Night Watch” to someone who can’t simply sit back and soak in the visual feasts.
When all is said and done, there’s only one more thing that Bekmambetov wants us to know about the flick. “We’re on track for next March,” he said.
