Angelina Jolie Watch

Even when she’s nesting in her French home, Angelina can’t stay out of trouble. The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority have banned Wanted billboards for glamorizing violence.

One ad featured[Angelina] Jolie lying on her back across the bonnet of a car, holding a gun next to the text: “We drove through the night at breathtaking speed, destroying everything in our path … welcome to the fraternity. We are a team of assassins, the weapons of fate. Kill one, save a thousand.”

Eighteen people complained to the body saying that it glorified gun play and would lead to “antisocial behavior” and board concurred. They particularly took issue with the line “Six weeks ago I was just like you … and then I met her … and my world was changed forever”.

The ASA thought thought it suggested that James McAvoy’s character’s life had improved since he’d become a killer. Universal insists that the ads were meant to reflect it graphic comic origins. The studio isn’t protesting the ban and won’t use the ad again.

Angie’s really doing her bit for Wanted. This time our sinewy action star sat down with MTV to talk about why she’s took the physical role and her thoughts on a possible role in Sin City 2. If included some bits of the interview but you’ll need to click on clip to hear the entire thing.

MTV: You’ve done your share of action films. Why another one?

Jolie: I was itching to do something that was physical, because I had done some emotional films and I had been at home with the kids. I didn’t know that there was anything original out there [until] I came across this script. One, it has a great story. A lot of action movies are kind of lacking in that. It’s got a dark sense of humor and it’s wild, and the stunts — I knew that they were going to be done in an original way. I knew that the director [Timur Bekmambetov] would do this movie in a way that would make it different than any other action movie.

MTV: This is your first action flick since “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” I would think it’s a little different rolling around with James McAvoy than with Brad?

Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]

MTV: You are passing the torch.

Jolie: Passing the torch to James.

MTV: Since you’re in your elder years, right? All the way in your early 30s.

Jolie: [Laughs.] Yeah, that’s right.

MTV: Do you imagine such physical roles will always be a part of your career?

Jolie: I think there’s always going to be a side of me … you know, as long as I can. Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he’s doing it well. It looks like I’ve got some more time.

She also added that she’s curios that her name was being bandied about for Sin City 2 but wasn’t sure it would be as original at the first. I think she’d be outstanding the production but if it doesn’t float her boat I understand her wanting to pass Only time will tell.

James McAvoy was so busy remembering his Wanted lines that he doesn’t completely remember kissing Angelina.

And when he did get a chance to plant a big juicy kiss on Jolie’s famous lips, he “was way too focused on remembering my lines” to remember any details, he said — though he does vaguely recall having to kiss her more than once to get the take right.

He also wasn’t thrilled that Angelina kicked his butt for much of the movie. “It was kind of emasculating and completely humiliating to be beat up by a girl the entire time,” he said. “It was the most humiliating experience of my professional life.” Poor thing. He can’t remember kissing one of the most beautiful in the world and she beat him up the rest of the time.

James had to bulk up for the role by eating “endless amounts of chicken, eggs and protein shakes”. In the move we see McAvoy’s character turn from office nerd to hunky assassin. Remember Wanted premiers in the States on on June 27th. I’ll be the first in line. How about you? I wonder if I can buy tickets this far in advance.

Oh this is loads of fun. We’ve got a over 7 minutes of Wanted. We’ve seen bits of this scene before but it’s super exciting to see it all pieced together. Thanks to Randi for picking this one up.

We’ve got actual clips from Wanted starring our Angie. I really like the car sequence in the first one. It’s also interesting to see how all the movie magic works.

UK fans will miss out on Angie this time around.  According to James McAvoy’s site, the London premier of Wanted has been officially canceled.

Here’s this post:

I’ve just received official confirmation from Universal UK that London’s ‘Wanted’ Premiere has been canceled. It was originally due to take place in Leicester Square on June 12th. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Rumors are swirling that Angie’s docs have advised against travel and maybe that’s why the premier was canceled. Other cast members are  currently in Berlin promoting the movie.

I doubt we’ll see much of the family until after the twins are born.  I’m sure the entire family could use a little rest and relaxation.  I hope they are enjoying their time out of the spotlight.

This trailer is very similar to the very first Wanted trailer that was released. Only this time James McAvoy is instructed to shoot the wings off of fly instead of curving the bullet.

This is more from McAvoy’s perspective. You’ll remember that the original trailer was mostly narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Wanted Exclusive Trailer

Finally we’ve got an actual clip. Enjoy!!!

Angelina has her own utterly insane poster for Wanted. Remember the film hits theaters on June 25th.

Wowza. Supercool wanted trailer in HD. It’s amazing how the technology allows for better quality even on YouTube. Enjoy.

Angelina is in New York to do some last minute shooting for Wanted. Our girl looks divalicious in her typical dark glasses and basic black.

Because I didn’t watch the Superbowl, I completely missed this commercial which was shown in during the game. The theatrical trailer was released way back in October with an anticipated release date of March 28th. The release date was changed to summer blockbuster season but no exact date was set. This commercial shows a June 27th premier. The date switch is great news for Angie and the rest of the cast. That means the movie is expected to do extremely well. I didn’t get to see Beowulf in the theater so it will be a real treat to see her on the big screen again. Hopefully this film will be a great success for Angelina.

Updated with HD version of trailer.

Universal Pictures has announced a change in Wanted’s release date. Originally scheduled for a March 28th release date, the film will now hit summer blockbuster season with a June 27th opening. Looks like Universal has realized the jewel it has on it’s hand and wants to maximize profits.

Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures’ President of Distribution, 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.”

It’s great that Angie will get a summer blockbuster but I sure was looking forward to the earlier release.

Angelina Jolie, Wanted

I believe most of these are pulled from the official trailer. I do love Angelina is a good shoot em up movie. I wonder how Brad feels about her playing a sexy assassin without him around. Again, I can’t wait for this movie to hit the theaters.

We’ve got our first official photos from Wanted. Angelina stars with James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman in the crime thriller. McAvoy plays the “nicest and most delightfully Scottish man in the world – as Wes, a disaffected office drone with a boss who hates him and a girlfriend who ignores him.”

McAvoy’s character (Wesley Gibson )is the son of a murdered assassin. Morgan Freeman(Sloane) and Angelina(Fox) invite him to join his dad’s old team so that he can avenge his father’s murder.

Wanted is an adaptation of the comic book miniseries Wanted by Mark Millar. The UK opening of the movie will be in April of 2008. The United States opening date is set for March 28, 2008.

Looks like she’s finally got a movie roll where her tattoos are an asset. I can’t wait.

More pictures after.

These are probably our final photos from the Wanted set which wrapped earlier this week. Angelina should be due for a break because Brad is set to start filming Burn After Reading with George Clooney. As we know they don’t like to work at the same time because of the kids.
