'Shoot this muthaf&#$@!' Redband WANTED trailer hits!

Now that's a trailer by Aloy	Jun 11th, 2008 01:39:46 AM
Maybe this might just....
sigh... by smylexx	Jun 11th, 2008 01:39:54 AM
the graphic novel was great but this film looks 'average' and appears to bear little resemblence to it's origins.
James McAvoy by betterlookingthanyou	Jun 11th, 2008 01:45:02 AM
Did this motherfucker when the lottery? I just dont understand the appeal of this guy. And his american accent sounds like it could be attrocious. Does anyone know if Fucktard is in this movie? Because if not im skipping this shit.
Ask yourself this while watching the trailers for this by IndustryKiller!	Jun 11th, 2008 01:47:16 AM
How much better would just about every action sequence shown be without the fucking slow mo??? A LOT better. Infinitely. I might be interested if it looked like they weren't CG crap. Any action movie using that much CG is automatically inferior. If the film comes out and I hear that the slow mo and CG is overblown in the trailers I'll give it a shot, but until then, nope.
Morgan Freeman by Cocoacritic	Jun 11th, 2008 01:50:22 AM
Why did he sign onto this? That line made my stomach turn.
Ugh by MetiphisLabs	Jun 11th, 2008 01:53:02 AM
If you're not interested in the movie that's fine but you don't have to come on the talkback and be a snide bitch about it. Yes I am talking to Jack Colby.
Now THAT's what I call a close encounter! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 11th, 2008 01:54:22 AM
Great trailer. The other ones were kinda weak but this one got me pumped.
It's clearly a fantasy action movie by MetiphisLabs	Jun 11th, 2008 01:59:12 AM
So suspended physics, fantastical stunts, and slow-mo are to be expected. It's a sub-genre of action movies now that is separate from movies like Die Hard. If you want Die Hard go watch Die Hard, if you like this then watch this.
Dave's trailer page by TheSeeker7	Jun 11th, 2008 02:01:23 AM
This has been available over there for direct DL I think at least 24 hours now, that's where I got it yesterday. That place rocks the kazbah.
Shoot 'Em Up by TheSeeker7	Jun 11th, 2008 02:03:20 AM
I get the feeling that if you dug that movie, you'll dig Wanted. VERY high stylized action, although likely less black comedy in Wanted, but still interestingly staged action that'll be fun as hell even though you know it's not even remotely possible in a million years in the real world :P
I can go with that MetiphisLabs by IndustryKiller!	Jun 11th, 2008 02:20:14 AM
I suppose it is a subgenre at this point. But it is an inferior subgenre. And they should make less of them and more of the other kind.
they have an awesome comic and they completely balls it up by TallBoy66	Jun 11th, 2008 02:24:30 AM
where's the sense in that? I want Wesley raping and killing for fun and a monster made of crap called "shit head!" Well, an R-rated action movie is nice to see again...but they had such a good source, why'd they cock it up?
nice bullet curvage by couP	Jun 11th, 2008 02:24:40 AM
that and jolie, count me in.
Yes...More Redband trailers please... by vettebro	Jun 11th, 2008 02:24:56 AM
Now I want to actually see this movie.
I ain't got Itunes, by brattyben	Jun 11th, 2008 02:26:53 AM
and I ain't gonna get it. Fuck Apple!!!
Fucking Badass by James Ford Coppola	Jun 11th, 2008 02:30:14 AM
Yes, McAvoy's accent is shitty. Yes, the dialog is even shittier. Yes, Morgan Freeman is awesome, his narration not so much. I don't give a fuck about the comic book, never heard of it, so even if the movie shits on the source material, as long as it's good, I don't care. Pretty much everything else on display here is as fucking sweet as Angelina Jolie's chocolate covered pussy juice.
I really want to like this, by beetlegeuse	Jun 11th, 2008 02:34:19 AM
but it just not happening for me. I feel like I've already seen everything this movie has to offer. I mean, bullet time was SO ten years ago. Sure Wanted does it well but I've seen that, what else you got? Don't get wrong it looks ok and i'll definetly see it, but let's be honest; i'll probably rent it.
Morgan by kungfuhustler84	Jun 11th, 2008 02:35:17 AM

Freeman by kungfuhustler84	Jun 11th, 2008 02:35:29 AM

sounded like a college professor by kungfuhustler84	Jun 11th, 2008 02:36:08 AM
when he said "muthafuckah." I'm excited for this but that part was fuckin weak.
At this point, by RockMSockM	Jun 11th, 2008 02:37:50 AM
Who doesn't have itunes? Morons? Come on, peeps.
dave's trailers as a dude said above.. by couP	Jun 11th, 2008 02:47:05 AM
then just watch it with whatever, media player classic, vlc, etc.
I'll wait for the REAL Wanted Movie by iamnicksaicnsn	Jun 11th, 2008 03:01:20 AM
I guess years and years from now, after enough freakin comic book movies have been established that it can actually be the homage it's meant to be.
Now THAT'S a fucking trailer! by Brundlefly	Jun 11th, 2008 03:48:16 AM
Holy Shit! Slicker than snot on a doorknob. I'll be front and center on opening day.
Olay, that's new. by Napoleon Park	Jun 11th, 2008 04:02:34 AM
Guy has bullet proof glass so the assassin ramps his 'stang up over a areodynmic sport car, rolls it in mid air and shoots the motherfucker thorugh his open sun roof. BOO YAH! Who thinks shit like that up? And if it's not clear due to my vulgar tone, I mean that in the very best way possible. My name is Napoleon and I approve of thie stunt.
WAAAAA!!! by HMS4L	Jun 11th, 2008 04:13:38 AM
Wesley's not a rapist, waaaa! Of course they couldn't make the movie the same as the book...who the hell would produce a movie were the protagonist is a psycho killer/rapist?! I personally can't wait to see this.
People who use itunes are fucktards by judge dredds fresh undies	Jun 11th, 2008 05:28:15 AM
I dont want that shit on my computer either. http://www.drfoster.f2s.com/
Shoot'em up was dire! by tehDude	Jun 11th, 2008 05:29:01 AM
If WANTED is anything like that then count me out. Also why do film makers think that CGI is so photo-realistic they can just hose the screen with the stuff. It aint. Less is more (unless your Jim Cameron - hopefuly AVATAR will bring about the true dawn of CGI.)
didn't want itunes by Whitemouse	Jun 11th, 2008 06:15:47 AM
so thanks for the link judge dredds fresh undies
If you don't have iTunes... by Teko	Jun 11th, 2008 06:17:07 AM
...all you're doing is missing out, and whining. It's free. What's your problem?
Ummm... by Tourist	Jun 11th, 2008 06:23:37 AM
...Wait...Why are people interested in a trailer for wanted, Red Band or Not? It looks like it was shot by Kurt Wimmer and Paul W.S. Andersons love child. And you can't blame the trailer, because the Ruskies other flicks were just as shit as anything those two have pumped out. Add to which its known to be a very poor adaptation of an already very poor book, featuring an incredibly unsexy skeletor Jolie. Still, I hope its a hit because I like McAvoy, so keep pimping this crap.
Buck Rogers project coming by Dazzler69	Jun 11th, 2008 06:34:53 AM

Samuel L Jackson would be ashamed by Garbageman33	Jun 11th, 2008 06:54:58 AM
So would Chris Rock. That's the worst "motherfucker" I've ever heard in my life.
F' Itunes by palewook	Jun 11th, 2008 06:55:45 AM

Angie looks good again by I Dunno	Jun 11th, 2008 07:10:03 AM
This looks ridiculous but cool.
Did no one point Angelina to the craft service table? by Garbageman33	Jun 11th, 2008 07:16:44 AM
So, she's an assassin that'd get blown over by a stiff breeze? Her tattoos weigh more than she does.
Incredible by MrPopular	Jun 11th, 2008 07:48:47 AM
This looks like this years kick ass action movie!!!!!. I seriously can't wait.. It's everything Shoot 'em up should have been. It looks great
fuck itunes by spidercoz	Jun 11th, 2008 07:52:17 AM
I'm not installing that shit just to watch this. Fuck Apple.
THIS JUST IN: Easy Reader swears, fanboys rejoice... by SpyGuy	Jun 11th, 2008 07:54:39 AM
Yes, I went to an ELECTRIC COMPANY reference. It was either that or DRIVING MISS DAISY.

If your still here. No he didn't win the lottery, just Ewan McGregor was on a long break.

Poop'em UP by Series7	Jun 11th, 2008 08:07:02 AM
Oh man I see people comparing this movie to that, oh I hope not. I've never been that bored in an action movie. It has me a little worried, because Clive Owen is not a good actor nor is he a good tough guy and just like Matt Damon before him he can't really fight. Just Rambo hadn't come out yet and quick cut editing still ruled action films with an iron fist. Now James Pan isn't a very exciting actor either (personally I think somone like Ellajhajk Wood would've been good in this role especially since he is wicked skinny now) and it McAvoy doesn't look like he could beat up anyone on this site even. I am DIEING for a review of this damnit! Hopefully by someone who's read the comic.
Shoot 'em Up was rubbish... by The Grug	Jun 11th, 2008 08:16:06 AM
I wanted to like it, but I just laughed at it instead - this however looks pretty damn nice.
This looks like what Shoot Em Up SHOULD have been! by Mr.Meanie	Jun 11th, 2008 08:57:38 AM
so say we all.
There aren't too few roles for black actors. by I Dunno	Jun 11th, 2008 09:03:41 AM
Samuel L Jackson and Morgan Freeman just take them all. They're like the co-worker who takes the last donut even though he already had 8.
itunes? by imascooby1985	Jun 11th, 2008 09:26:42 AM
WHats with all the ire for iTunes? Its a great bit of software if you ask me. Im not trying to start a fight or anything. I am just curious what makes everyone here so deadset against the product.
Tumnus is back! And this time he's got a gun! by YotzVonFrelnik	Jun 11th, 2008 09:37:21 AM
McAvoy. Can't lose.
I downloaded it off iTunes in 2 seconds... by Frank Black	Jun 11th, 2008 10:12:49 AM
I never have a problem with it. Click it, it downloads and plays in perfect quality. Good internet connection + 10,000 G5 set up = good times online!
McAvoy is awesome by Bass Ackwards	Jun 11th, 2008 10:28:29 AM
Blew me away in Atonement, and he's the only reason I wanna see this movie cause for the most part it looks like shit.
Because it's "cool" to hate on Apple now? by Teko	Jun 11th, 2008 10:31:30 AM
imascooby: the more popular Apple products get, the louder Mac haters get, seems like... and they feel like iTunes is "invading" their precious PCs with Apple cooties. I just use what works best, and Macs, iPods, and iTunes are great products. And let me watch killer trailers in hi-def with just a click.

if we elected Morgan Freeman by ArcadianDS	Jun 11th, 2008 10:37:58 AM
people would listen to the State of the Union address.
wow teko are you 19 ? by ArcadianDS	Jun 11th, 2008 10:38:41 AM
Apple hate dates back to the 1970s. Crack open a history book, bro.
Don't get the hate in this TB... by BLEST	Jun 11th, 2008 11:50:37 AM
The film looks sick! Yes, it's goofy, over the top, and highly stylized but so what? It's a summer action flick. A shoot-em up that's rated R. While alot of sorry movies get the "it's just a popcorn movie" pass, THIS film actually warrants that description. Love the bit with the keyboard where the letters and the tooth spell out: "EFF YOU". I'm there opening day. Will be a surprise smash at the box office, a 65 mil opening weekend.(unless it's the same weekend that Get Smart opens... I'll have to check on that.)
Go back to that Chris Reeve flick by skimn	Jun 11th, 2008 12:00:21 PM
Street Smart and see what a muthafucka Morgan Freeman can be! It's about time he pulled that Presidential Seal out of his ass.
I just want to add to those by Second Try	Jun 11th, 2008 01:02:01 PM
...that said this what Shoot'em up SHOULD have been. That movie was ridiculous.
fuck hollywood by bacci40	Jun 11th, 2008 01:22:15 PM
still cut the guts right out of this...its much cooler when all the characters are anti heroes killing the good guys...but whatever, the kiddies will love the cgi
wanted..the premise by j2talk	Jun 11th, 2008 01:45:22 PM
whats with the hate....they bought the premise of WANTED before the book was finished, they liked what they saw not what the story turned into and so made the film based on what they bought, not what they got stuck with......
I said it before I'll say it again by drewlicious	Jun 11th, 2008 02:33:04 PM
The comic sucked. A nihilistic sicko fantasy with no redeeming values whatsoever. I got a kick out the creativity applied to the villains, I'll give it that, but the writing was infatuated with its dark sense of humor it just got upsetting. How can anyone enjoy a story where not a single character is remotely sympathetic. If you find a rapist sympathetic there is something seriously wrong with you. I'm glad they changed the story, maybe this will be as entertaining as the premise promised.
McAvoy looks like a turtle. by scudd	Jun 11th, 2008 03:56:25 PM
Seriously, picture it.
Now That Looks Totally Bad Ass by LaserPants	Jun 11th, 2008 10:12:05 PM
Never read the comic, heard it was good though.
first by chipps	Jun 11th, 2008 11:11:30 PM
1 fuck off with the making of me getting I tunes 2 the bullet went through the guys head and remained intact and unchanged 3 sure it looks good but i have already seen this movie. It was called the matrix
stop crying!!! by HMS4L	Jun 12th, 2008 03:50:21 AM
OK, it rips-off the Matrix is some ways. SO WHAT! I love the Matrix too, but it ripped-off a dozen Japanese movies before it. So cut-out all of the "It's a clone" BS and let us enjoy the movie without all of this fanboy, crybaby bullshit! Even the author of the source liked the script and gave it his blessing.
Um, I Think Its Supposed To Be Unrealistic by LaserPants	Jun 12th, 2008 05:50:17 AM
"the bullet went through the guys head and remained intact and unchanged." Indeed. They also manage to make bullets curve perfectly by swinging their arms as if throwing a curve-ball. Ergo, the laws of physics are clearly not a priority here... as they were in The Matrix, which this movie admittedly seems very similar... at least in terms of the theme where the secretly gifted young man is recruited by a shadowy organization to do impossible things.

No way I'm installing iTunes just for this... by KillDozer	Jun 12th, 2008 08:14:34 AM
thanks for the alternate links. This movie looks like a video game, which might be cool if I could play it. I'm not paying $10 bucks for the equivalent of watching a friend play Xbox.
It's nice to be WANTED by lonestaricon	Jun 12th, 2008 10:15:52 AM
This movie feels like summer.
shoot this mutha by crashbarbarian	Jun 12th, 2008 10:40:50 AM
i loved freeman saying that line so much i watched that part for 10 minutes... and i thought the f bomb was reserved for the greatness of sam jax
Nice by joergn	Jun 12th, 2008 12:22:51 PM
Even if isnt´t true to the source-material at all. And I´n not talking about the superhero/villain-shit. In the comics the fraternity were a bunch of powerhungry, killing psychos who killed not because the had, most likely because the wanted to. Making the main character a sort of "hero" pussied down the whole concept! But he, at least it looks nice!
Mark Millar's graphic novel is AMAZING by fassbinder79	Jun 12th, 2008 04:57:44 PM
The movie looks like a piece of shit. I hope Millar can get an animated HBO version of The Unfunnies off the ground. That would be friggin' sweet. I am sick and tired of Hollywood fucking up great comic material.
The problem with bad hollywood comic book films... by fassbinder79	Jun 12th, 2008 05:01:41 PM
...Is they keep good movies like Garth Ennis' The Boys from ever getting made. And who the fuck is this guy who directed Wanted? Can't we get a Cuaron, Spike Lee or a Verhoeven to do one of these?
Jolie looks like a staved person from Africa. by GQtaste	Jun 12th, 2008 10:27:27 PM
When will these stupid women out there realise that men don't find that straved out ten yr old boy look attractive? She looks totally different than when she was doing stuff eight or nine years ago.
