Angelina Jolie Pulls Out Of Wanted 2, Film Is Scrapped!

To star in Alfonso Cuarón's new Sci Fi movie, Jolie has pulled out of the planned Timur Bekmambetov-directed sequel at Universal, effectively killing the project...

Apparently Jolie was all set to reprise her role as the very much deceased assassin Fox in Wanted 2, but now her decision to leave the project has forced Universal to pull the plug rather than recast the film. Jole is now intent on starring in Warner Bros.’ Gravity, a space thriller to be directed by Children of Men’s Alfonso Cuarón from a script he wrote with his 28-year-old son, Jonás.



All thats known about the film so far is that Jolie's character will be alone on-screen for much of the movie, playing the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter. Sounds very like the little seen but absolutely brilliant Sam Rockwell movie from last year, Moon.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of Cuarón and Children Of Men was class so i'm looking forward to this..a lot more than I was Wanted 2 anyway!

Pulling out of Jolie would be EPIC. I mean this is terrible news.;)

Probably the best thing that could have happened. I don't know of one reason there should be a sequel.

How can the movie go on without the character who got a bullet in her head at the end of the first one?
Hated the first one. Glad the sequel is dead.

@ror- when i was reading that I instantly thought of moon, glad you mentioned it. So damn good, sam rockwell does what other actors fail to do in similar roles, like will smith is i am legend, and collin ferrel in phonebooth. And both of these movies have other performances, its just mainly on them. Hope everyone on here reads that part of this and decides to watch it tho its so good, although a little choppy at times, but the fault is only on the budget there

A movie that features only Jolie on screen for most of it?....I'll pay 10 bucks forthat anyday. Throw in a nude scene and you got twenty.

"Wanted" didn't need a sequel. It was good as a standalone film. I'd like to play the video game. Expanding on the story anymore, though, is just as stupid as making another "300" film.

I don't think the end of this thing is necessarily bad, but why does her pulling out kill it? I mean c'mon her character took a roundaboutly self inflicted .45 ACP to the head in last act of Wanted... It was really more nonsensical to have her back in the first place half her brain was on the floor... sorry is I spoiled that for anyone.

no Wanted sequel...i wouldn't mind a prequel though to see how the fraternity of assassins was formed. that would be pretty cool i think

What they should do is use the money that was going towards the sequel to build a time machine and go back in time and stop the first one from ever being made.

It would've been sh1T anyways.

What they should be doing is an all new cast with another group, there can be loads of groups all over the World!
