A Pooh-Pooh choice to write WANTED sequel

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

The Hollywood Reporter say Evan Spiliotopoulos will be taking over writing duties on the Wanted sequel from the original scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (3:10 to Yuma, 2 Fast 2 Furious). Spiliotopoulos' past writing credits which won him the job are... Go figure. Chris Morgan, who co-wrote Wanted with Haas and Brandt has come up with the story and the first draft of the screenplay (which may now have been completely rejected?) based on brief notes from the creator of the comic series Mark Millar. Timbur Bekmambetov is attached to direct once again.
