Angelina Jolie turns down ‘Wanted’ sequel
Angelina Jolie turns down the director Timur Bekmabetov for the 'Wanted' sequel.
“Wanted was way more fun than it had any right to be. So while I was looking forward to the sequel, there was always the lingering question of whether the madcap frenzy that made Wanted such a blast could be repeated – and if it could, would that be the makings of a good popcorn movie or just lukewarm leftovers? It so happens that we’ll never find out, because Angelina Jolie has dropped out of Wanted 2 according to Vulture, which in turn inspired Universal to bury the project,” Collider writes, citing well informed sources.
“But don’t fret too much: when the movie gods close a door, they open a window. Jolie has reportedly set her sights on Gravity, a space thriller from Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron. […] At one point Cuaron was said to be eying The Tourist, the political thriller starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Though that never came to pass, it appears it may have gotten the pair talking about future projects. According to the report, Jolie would play ‘the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter.’ It sounds like there may be a lot of solo screen time for Jolie’s character if the film gets made,” the movie-oriented e-zine goes on to say.
Sad news, fans were hoping to see another action movie with Jolie in Bekmabetov's directing.
