New 'Wanted' Teaser Poster -- Angelina Makes Guns Look Good.
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Universal, Angelina Jolie, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Images, Posters
Cast Angelina Jolie in your movie, and everything post production becomes that much easier. No one photographs better than this woman -- and certainly no one looks more sexy with a gun.
This new teaser poster comes by way of Ain't It Cool News, where you can get a high-resolution version. I do love the way her tattoo blends into her customized gun. Not even Lara Croft has guns that fancy. The movie could be crap (though Erik Davis liked what he saw of it, AICN's Quint did too), but I do love a stylish action chick. Just because you're an assassin doesn't mean you can't accessorize!
Wanted opens June 27th, 2008. What do you think of this one? Is it on your summer radar?

Well, she's got some pretty awesome tattoos of her own, so adding a few more simply completes the "costume", as it were.
I've been looking forward to this film since the original trailer promised me it would begin showing in March. I don't disagree with the studio moving it to the end of June, because it's obviously a blockbuster, but it does suck having to wait a couple of more months.
Thanks for bringing the poster over from AICN.

It reminds me of the US poster for Lady Vengeance.

I'm a fan of the comic and I'm looking forward to the movie.. but dang... lady needs to eat a hamburger. Her arm looks like it's going to snap off under the weight of that gun.

i'm looking forward to wanted but this ad creeps me out... It seems like they are going out of their to emphasize that she has longer forearms than Kareem Abdul Jabar with limbs skinnier than the crypt keepers..

Funny how in Hollywood if hunters are shown at all, they tend to be evil (Even Charlton Heston Played an evil hunter once) but movies about assassins with huge amounts of violence are "cool".
I agree with what JFK said about that poster. Her arm looks unnaturally long and skinny.

Saw the trailer before "Sarah Marshall" last night. Appropriately enough the trailer for "Wanted" was pretty laughable. When Angelina's sports car flips sideways (doing a full barrel roll), lands on a bus (appearing completely weightless due to awful CG that is 100% obvious), and accelerates off the top of the bus (using the bus as a launching ramp) - I actually laughed out loud. It's bad enough that they pretend people can curve bullets in the movie. I can't wait for stupid gang bangers to start trying to shoot around each other. Good times.
"Wanted" is going to bomb.

I slightly remember the trailer, and i think she isn't even the protagonist. She's the gal in the organization that gets this other guy that can "curb" bullets.
I agree with Wayne, it vill bomb. Primarily, because looking at that poster I really don't expect "hey, yo, curb the bullet so you don't kil angelina" from the movie.
On the other hand.. it's America...and that's angelina jolie on the poster.
