New WANTED Trailer is up!

Hey folks, Harry here... WANTED is the monkey on the back of Summer 2008 for me. It's the movie that I want to have blow peoples' minds... none moreso than my own. We've got a pretty charming summer going so far... Word on the HULK is... incredible (sorry), WALL*E is going to be a golden god, HELLBOY 2 is apparently an ass whipping waiting to be unleashed and then there's THE DARK KNIGHT - which nobody has seen, but we all know is gonna steamroll us. We hear that HANCOCK is mediocre - but I still want it to kick ass - but the word has yet to turn on that film... BUT why is it that I want WANTED to kick our balls like a thousand virgin tongues? Well - there's MARK MILLAR - I know - he and I have gone toe to toe on the internet in the past... including the time he lost a significant friendly wager regarding the casting of SUPERMAN... but I love Millar's work. That he and Matthew Vaughn are about to kickass on KICK-ASS is delightful - but this is his first film adaptation of his work - and the more and more that is revealed - the more awesome it looks. And that's because of TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV - the director of NIGHTWATCH and DAYWATCH... and Timur is my pick for upcoming geek filmmaking god of the ages. Timur has a look and a feel to his 3 films thus far that is absolutely captivating. He's a dream filmmaker for me, because his use of the visual medium is breathtaking. For fans of Foreign Cult Cinema - he's been kicking ass and taking names with unknown actors from far away lands. And here... he has a full Hollywood budget and stars like Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie and General Zod to play with.... oh - and then there's... JAMES MCAVOY - What a fantastic actor this guy is! Did you see his performance in ATONEMENT? What about THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND - or hell his turn in THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE stole the whole show. And nevermind he's my hope and dream actor to play Bilbo in Guillermo Del Toro's THE HOBBIT. I love that they cast someone that is anything, but an ACTION STAR in this role - that they cast the best actor for the part... And I can see in the trailers that he is working it. I like it. Alot. Well about a week ago - Mark Millar dropped me an email with a link to a featurette that EMPIRE is hosting here!!! After checking that out - watch this new trailer... doesn't this look like a lot of fun?
