James McAvoy has been cast in the leading role of the movie adaptation of the sci-fi comic book series
Wanted says
The Hollywood Reporter. The series which ran over six issues is described as being "adult in nature" and will probably warrant a R rating upon release. Some more info on the comic from
coming soon..
"The story follows a put-upon young man who discovers that his long-lost father is an assassin. After his dad is murdered, the son is recruited into a covert organization of killers and trained to follow in his father's footsteps". I've been recommended this comic book series about a thousand times but I have never got round to reading it. The concept sounds like it could make a pretty good movie, and it looks as if
Universal are making the film a priority with production starting early next year on a decent budget. Then again the film is being written by the writing duo of
Derek Haas and
Michael Brandt who wrote
2 Fast 2 Furious so the movie will probably turn out shit. source -
