Title: WANTED trailer
Post by: wrly_bird on 02 November, 2007, 12:46:37 PM
First trailer for the movie based on Mark Millar's WANTED. It;s directed by Timur Bekmambetov (I think I've spelled that correctly), who did Russian movies NIGHT WATCH and DAY WATCH. Enjoy.

Looks like they've cut out the superheroes.

Wonder if they've kept Mark Millar's trademark bleakness?

I'm not gonna worry about Matrix comparisons if the film's as cool as that trailer looks. I loved Night/Day Watch, so I'll be curious to see what the director does with a story that isn't totally batshit insane.

Personally, I found Night Watch mostly impenetrable style over substance, but you never know, it could be good-in a kind of derivative way.
Has anyone read the comic?

Looks good and I've never heard of it before in any form.
