Angelina Jolie Drops Out of ‘Wanted’ Sequel

Last summer, word got out in the media that director Timur Bekmabetov was looking to make a sequel to “Wanted,” the insane 2008 action movie starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and the rapper Common. Also then, it was said he wanted Angelina Jolie back for a part, which prompted speculation this might turn out to be a prequel. News has now surfaced that “Wanted 2” is not happening at all because Jolie bailed on the project, Collider can confirm.

Fans of the film were, no doubt, excited about the idea of getting a sequel, even though many said that chances of making it work were slim to none. Still, the idea of seeing Angelina reprise her role as the deadly fast and slick Fox was enough to get hopes high and more so as reports said Bekmabetov was this close to getting her signed on to the project. We’ll never know whether that was truly the case or not because Jolie has reportedly shifted her focus from “Wanted 2” to a project called “Gravity” by Alfonso Cuaron.

“Wanted was way more fun than it had any right to be. So while I was looking forward to the sequel, there was always the lingering question of whether the madcap frenzy that made Wanted such a blast could be repeated – and if it could, would that be the makings of a good popcorn movie or just lukewarm leftovers? It so happens that we’ll never find out, because Angelina Jolie has dropped out of Wanted 2 according to Vulture, which in turn inspired Universal to bury the project,” Collider writes, citing well informed sources.

“But don’t fret too much: when the movie gods close a door, they open a window. Jolie has reportedly set her sights on Gravity, a space thriller from Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron. […] At one point Cuaron was said to be eying The Tourist, the political thriller starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Though that never came to pass, it appears it may have gotten the pair talking about future projects. According to the report, Jolie would play ‘the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter.’ It sounds like there may be a lot of solo screen time for Jolie’s character if the film gets made,” the movie-oriented e-zine goes on to say.

Moreover, if this checks out, Angelina Jolie will certainly do wonderfully in the part of a desperate mother, if her performance in last year’s “The Changeling” is anything to go by. Keep an eye on this space for more details on this and we’ll keep you updated the moment they emerge.

Angelina Jolie Is Waiting On Wanted 2

It was way back in July of last year that we told you despite her rather terminal condition at the end of the first film, Angelina Jolie would return to the Wanted franchise to reprise her ass-kicking assassin role. Well now it’s confirmed.

Variety says Jolie is waiting on a script for Wanted 2, which when done would possibly re-team her with director Timur Bekmambetov and co-star James McAvoy for another spin on the loom of fate. How exactly they’ll get around the bullet left in her head at the end of the first movie, remains to be seen, but it’s Hollywood. Anything is possible. Twin sister? Time warp? Industrial looming accident? It’s all on the table. We’ll see what happens once Angie gets a look at the script.

In addition to the Wanted sequel, Variety also says Jolie is teaming up with Fox 2000 for a film based on author Patricia Cornwell’s books about medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. There’s 16 novels in all, and they’re hoping for a franchise, with a series of thrillers in the vein of Silence of the Lambs or Se7en.

Angelina Jolie Could Be Stepping Closer to ‘Sin City 2′

While she has mentioned her doubt on nailing a role in “Sin City 2″ earlier, Angelina Jolie is reported to be one step closer to join the cast ensemble of the “Sin City” sequel. Moviehole reported a rather high-profile producer friend has claimed that the “Wanted (2008)” star is in “serious talks” to star in the movie.

The 33-year-old actress has long been linked to the sequel project which is said to be the adaptation of “A Dame to Kill For”. If she is indeed tapped as one of the cast members, Jolie is likely to take on the role of Ava Lord, the former flame of Dwight McCarthy and will star opposite Clive Owen since he is “loosely attached” to reprise his role as McCarthy.

In mid-2008, the Christine Collins of “Changeling” has confessed to MTV that she still hasn’t made any decision on the Ava role. “I don’t know,” the star of “Beowulf” stated at the time. “I found the first ‘Sin City’ impressive, but I don’t know what they’re going to do with the next one to make [it] as original as the first one. I’d be curious. I think he’s a genius.”

In another “Sin City 2″ news, The Weinstein Company (TWC) have come up with a response to the rumor of them losing rights to the project. “TWC’s rights to produce sequels to Sin City remain intact as they always have been,” the studio’s attorney Bert Fields issued this statement. “Any suggestion to the contrary is complete hogwash.”
