@Belabras: but... the last human assassin in a world of robot assassin's is like... the most unbeliveably awesome premise ever. no one could screw that up.
If they can do a good story just with MacAvoy's character, go for it -- they were only one cell; surely there are more crazy assassin people out there to get involved with -- but I thought the ending was perfect, so good on Angelina.
(Please note, all praise is in context of this movie being complete and utter action CRACK. Which I love.)
going global would really give them a good opportunity to explore their options in creating weak, stereotyped female characters in other countries, not just america.
maybe she faked her death, and they can make an awesome joke in the movie about how women fake things. that would be witty and funny and a good time.
No sequel please! Did anyone else read the comic then see the movie? The film should NOT have been called 'Wanted', because it was a completely different story from the book. The comic had no curving bullets, no assassins guild that killed for the good of the world, no giant weaving machine, no pretty much everything else. It borrows a couple elements at most. The film wouldn't have bothered me so much if it was called something else, it's a disgrace to the source material. Sorry for the rant, I'm done.
@Charlie Jane Anders: She wrecked a lot of the built in backing because Jolie fills seats. Doesn't mean she completely ruined it. Granted any new girl will just be a 'replacement,' but there are so many options a writer has with the story. And she was being true to the character's backstory, which in my mind is something an actor/actress should be praised for.
@GreyHammer: Technically, she was speaking about Fox's character. And with her backstory, as semi=shoddy as it played out, if the actress is to fully embrace it, the suicide is the only ending which makes sense for her character.

Which is what I fear this next project will be. I like the premise, but have no faith Naim can deliver.
