Do y'all remember the hot and heavy scenes Angelina Jolie was shooting in a red car? It was for the movie "Wanted" which was set to be released on March 28,2008. The bosses over at Universal Pictures have decided to move the release of the fantasy-action-thriller to June 27 instead.
Besides Angie, the film stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Common as members of a secret society that carries out the orders of fate itself.
After making the date change, Nikki Rocco of Universal Pictures said, "After an early look at "Wanted", we are certain that it fulfills its promise as a stunning, committed, thrilling, eye-popping vision that introduces a bold new narrative. We believe it can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the event titles of the summer and will give audiences a chance to discover a fresh new alternative. We are excited to date the film on June 27."
Per IMDB.com the film is about:
Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits him into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his father's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors-- including the fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)-- Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one can ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.
