(okay, maybe not the "ears" - nix the ears... *kinky*) /// READ MORE HERE
... well, according to the scripted reviewed on IESB.net, we can kiss the villain-suits goodbye? = yet another comicbook-adaptation
screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas talks about their work on SuperHeroHype:
"... the plan was always to maintain the in-your-face mood of Millar's writing. "Universal when they bought it--Jeff Kirschenbaum, the exec there and a huge comic fan, he's the one who found the book—they and we from the get-go said, 'Let's make a hard-R action movie' which is what the comic book was. Again, you don't get to write those very often, and you certainly don't get a studio saying that very often. That freed us up to say, 'Let's throw the kitchen sink at it.' We went tonally and character-wise and plot-wise, we kind of just went, 'Good. Ultimate freedom, let's go.'"
and apparently the movie was written about the same time (if not on parallel-time) as the comicbook was? read more here - to me, "ultimate freedom" means the total option of screwing it all up. i hope i'll be proven wrong tho :p
Mark Millar (WANTED-creator) talks about the movie on Newsarama:
"As for the film version of Wanted, Millar said that he’s seen 25 minutes of the film and it’s amazing. 60% of the movie has been shot, and he could not be happier about it ... Purists should take heart, as Millar said that the movie version of the story is definitely rated R. He said you have to make this extremely violent, with lots of swearing and sex scenes. There’s a scene where a bunch of supervillains push a train off a cliff and you see the people in the train freaking out and climbing over seats as they fall."
WANTED stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Common, Kristen Hager, Konstantin Khabensky and Terence Stamp and is scheduled for a March 28th 2008-release.
