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.
