Wanted creator
Mark Millar has posted an update on his site, letting us know exactly how excited he is to see
Night Watch director
Timur Bekmanbetov bring his comic series to the big screen. After seeing 30 minutes of pre-vis footage, this is what he said....
"This is going to be amazing. Like I trailered yesterday, even Gill's Mum gave a big Keannu-style WHOA at a sequence between a car chase and a train. I can't give much in the way of details here, but watching some of the scenes from the book come to life can only be compared to giving birth to a 100 million dollar baby". Wanted is set to be released in 13 months time, starring
James McAvoy and
Morgan Freeman. Interestingly, Millar mentioned that they have already cast a "big star" that they are keeping secret for some reason till the summer. Add to that, he also had this very interesting quote...
"Three months ago my expectations were zero. Now they're enormous". Strange. It was way back in August that we
reported that James McAvoy had been cast in the movie, so are we led to believe that he wasn't interested at all in seeing his comic book on screen back then? source -
