More Footage Of Wanted’s Stupid, Beautiful Violence

The new Russian trailer for June's super-assassin movie Wanted shows off a level of brain-splattering poetic violence that wouldn't be allowed in an American trailer. Just look at how much it fetishizes the bullet — it's like the bullet-time from The Matrix, except this time the bullet itself is the star. This version of the trailer also shows off more of James McAvoy's story arc, from office dweeb to fate's hand of death or something. Weirdly, it de-emphasizes Angelina Jolie in favor of exploding brains. And yes, it's in Russian. Sorry. [Slashfilm]
