Wanted: new comics-inspired movie

Wanted – movie
In theaters: June 27, 2008
Genre: graphic novel/action/thriller

Wanted is loosely based on the graphic novel series by Mark Millar. It tells the transformation of a geeky nobody – Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) – into a mythical assassin, who kill at the bidding of a secret society called Fates.

When Wesley’s estranged father was murdered, his partner Sloan (Morgan Freeman) recruits the young man to follow in his father’s footsteps and become one of a rare breed of assassins – men and women with lightning quick reflexes and phenomenal agility. Wesley is trained by the femme fatale Fox (Angelina Jolie) and teaches him to live by the code: to kill on the orders of Fates, weavers who read individuals’ destinies in fabrics produced by mystical looms.

In the course of his training, Wesley comes to a crossroads of his own destiny: does he control his fate, or does Fate control his destiny?

The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Konstantin Khabensky and Angelina Jolie.
