New ‘Wanted’ Clips and Interviews Hit the ‘Net
Wanted, the film based on Mark Millar and J.G. Jones’ six-issue 2003 miniseries, will hit theaters at the end of this month, and the Universal Pictures marketing machine is chugging along in anticipation of the big day.
Just in case you lost track of this one in all of the Iron Man and Incredible Hulk hub-bub, there’s a lot to be find around the ‘Tubes to catch up with the film and the creator-owned Top Cow series that inspired it.
Yahoo Movies has collected all of the various trailers and previews for the film on a single page, including the latest: a a wild scene that takes place aboard a train in mid-derailment.
Comics2Film has put together a pretty decent list of interviews with the cast of the film, including star James McAvoy, director Timur Bekmambetov and hip-hop musician Common.
For the audiophiles, you can view samples of music from the Wanted soundtrack over at CineMusic.
Finally, we posted links to a Wanted "Making Of" featurette a while back that’s available online, as well as the Wanted viral marketing website that inducts users into the film’s mysterious "Fraternity." (Note: I submitted my email address to the site when I posted that article and haven’t heard anything thus far.)
There's also a free Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace interview with Angelina Jolie saying that online gamers shouldn't underestimate her Wanted co-star Jame McAvoy. He's got mad skillz. She also admits that she and Brad try playing and suck. When they play four-player split screen games with their kids, they have to keep reviving them.
I've heard one review of the movie. It's from a guy who was involved in the original deal, but he's real persnickety when it comes to movies. He loved it, and I don't recall him ever emailing me about his many other movie and teevee projects. I do recall him telling me they sold the deal before the mini-series even had an ending. I assume the movie does. And "This could be the start of a beautiful relationship" was done before.
