Angie and Her Gun Reunited in Bekmambetov’s ‘Wanted’

Timur Bekmambetov’s up and coming film, Wanted, about a secret band of assassins has been tipped by Empire as a surprise hit this year. 

Angelina Jolie is back where she is most comfy, kicking ass as a female assassin. In this action adventure film, Jolie stars along side James McAvoy who plays an ordinary guy recruited for the group. Wanted also presents a first class supporting cast with the likes of Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp, Thomas Kretschman and Kirsten Hager all acting in this film. From the little bit of footage that has been seen so far, Wanted promises to be a film full of fast paced action and Bekmambetov’s usual creativity.
