Okay, all the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fans are basically waiting around for two things. One, the birth of the Jolie-Pitt twins. Two, the opening of Wanted in theaters.
I can’t help you with the twins. They’re in there and not coming out until it’s time. And I can’t get the movie to open any faster. However, I can feed your anticipation!
Check out this video player with five preview trailers. There was one in there I hadn’t seen yet. I can’t wait to see this movie, it will be amazing on a big screen with surround sound even if our theaters cost a fortune.
This review from Variety is pretty positive! I particularly liked when they said:
Like it or not, “Wanted” pretty much slams you to the back of your chair from the outset and scarcely lets up for the duration.
The Hollywood Reporter seemed to like it too:
That would include engagingly offbeat source material in the form of Mark Millar and J.G. Jones’ comic book series, a decent adaptation by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (last year’s “3:10 to Yuma” remake) and Chris Morgan (”Cellular”), a terrific cast and jaw-dropping stunt work.
Finally, USA Today has a great interview up with Angelina Jolie, talking about the movie.
Her real-life bad girl might be done, but she’s not about to retire her on-screen. Consider this scene from the assassin thriller Wanted, opening June 27:
Jolie is sprawled across the sleek hood of a cherry-red Dodge Viper, clad in a silver cocktail dress and steering the wheel through a shattered windshield with one high-heeled shoe, while the other is pressed against the neck of the young man she’s rescuing (Atonement’s James McAvoy). As they race through a Chicago tunnel, she fires guns at a chasing assailant.
You don’t have to be Freud to see the erotic overtones.
“All I was thinking was, ‘God this is fun! Really fun,’ ” Jolie says, laughing.
Britney Spears has a tearful goodbye with her family as she left her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana the day after younger sister Jamie Lynn gives birth to a daughter, Maddie Briann.
