Mark Millar Talks Wanted 2 And Kristen Stewart Rumors!

The comic book writer says that he's not too bothered about whether or not the sequel will ever get made and addresses the rumors that Twilight star Kristen Stewart is in talks to star in it...

"Well, 'Wanted 2' is complicated," Millar told MTV News when quizzed about how work on the sequel to the movie is progressing. "There’s no book for 'Wanted 2.' I would like to do the movie. I say if it happens, great. If it doesn’t, I’m not bothered."

As fans of the graphic novel will know, the movie shared very little in common with the book it was based on and despite mainly negative reviews it was still a huge success raking financially. However, Millar was quick to point out that despite that, he really has no interest in exploring the characters any further: "I only intended to write down one book, six issues. I had no interest in doing anything beyond that, you know, I was happy with it."

"Lots of people said to me, ‘Go and do a sequel or do three sequels, the movie is gonna make a lot of money and the movie would be great for your books sales,'" he went on to reveal. "But I don’t really write the comics for money, I write them comics because I like them. Sometimes I do things for almost no money at all just because I like doing it, so the idea to write a sequel just because the movie was big seems almost unethical."

Millar was then asked if there is any truth behind the reports that Kristen Stewart had been approached to take over from Angelina Jolie as the main female lead in the sequel but the writer was quick to point out that, "I think there had been some conversations but there isn’t even a finalized screenplay yet so they definitely can’t confirm any actors yet."

"I have heard that she was approached and she said that she was very excited about the idea in an interview...of working with guys like James McAvoy or director Timur Bekmambetov or whoever but it’s all just speculation."

@LEEE- Did you even read the article? Millar said he doesn't give a shit if there's a Wanted 2 and he would never write one because he likes what he did with Wanted 1. So why should Mark Millar [frick] off?

The Wanted movie did have one thing in common with the comic, they both sucked!:)

I thought the comic book was great - the movie however, was a piece of shit. I'm guessing that Millar doesnt care about it because he's got adaptations of Kick-Ass 2, Nemesis and Superior in the works and if they're all as faithful as Kick-Ass was (in tone rather than stuff like that damned jetpack, lol) he really doesnt need to worry about what will more than likely be another critical flop when the ones I've mentioned will probably do a hell of a lot better if he's involved with their development as I'm pretty sure he was with Matthew Vaughn!

IMO, Kristen Stewart is one of the most overrated actresses in recent years. She's monotone in just about everything. She was dull in The messengers, so-so in Into The Wild and she's probably the worst among the Twilight cast. She's the female version of Keanu Reeves, a one-emotion actress. If I had to pick one from a collection of crappy actresses for a movie, I'd even pick Megan Fox over her any day. At least Megan Fox is hot.

The Wanted casting was good, but the movie sucked.

The Wanted Comic was amazing. Even though in the last page he pulled a Tyler Durden and dogged all the people buying his comic. But it was kinda funny. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself.

I just don't see what was so good about that comic. And I'm usually a Millar fan. It was just a pointless excuse to write about a bunch or amoral scumbags. And it wasn't even written well! It was cliched, predictable and The main character was such a douchebag that he even drew him with a [frick]ing earing just in case we didn't get the point! I got the point of it, I just thought it was delivered badly.

I just like the idea of the bad guys winning in the comic book. I also liked that it was cast like a movie. Eminem was Wesley, Halle Berry was Fox and Tommy Lee Jones was his dad. Shit head made up off 666 of the most evil men in histories shit! lol. Yeah it was a parody of Lex, Skull etc but it was funny. I hated that in the movie they got rid of all those characters and just gave everyone Wesley's power
( or Bullseyes power)

Wanted was fun but does it really NEED a sequel? It's actually SO far away from the source material that I'm not bothered by it, since it's a completely different movie. Hopefully they reboot it eventually, faithfully, it's not like if they rebooted Watchmen or 300, where fans we'll say "seen it."

Kristen Stewart + Wanted 2 = EPIC Fail! Apparently the they don't realize that the majority of the target audience for the 'Wanted' series DESPISES Kristen Stewart! Way to stay in touch with the fan-base (d-bags!).

Kristen is probably excited just to get a part that doesn't invole being a whiny vacuous litle b!tch! But wait a sec, she might actually have to ACT in this film! Let's face it people, she's a female Keanu Reeves!

Heheh. I have to say though, she wasn't bad in The Runaways. Not great..but convincing enough not to get my eyes rolling.

flames809 - 9/22/2010, 5:51 PM
movie was [frick]ing good and story was good to i dnt give a shit if it was way off the comic source. and if Kristen Stewart is a bad actress then why is she getting jobs in movies and is a actress cause if she couldn't act then she wouldn't be a actress or be a main character in a lot of movies she made same goes for Megan fox. i got a question what do you people call a actress or actor? and if you say Kristen Stewart can't show emotion you should watch panic room or zathura or the messengers or twilight saga and theirs a level a actor an actress can go on there role depending on how the director wants them to play the character.

I agree with MRJosh i give keanu credit for Bill and teds and even though it was garbage, point break was entertaining. Those kristen Stewart posters are hilarious. And somebody asked if shes such a garbage actress then why do they keep hiring her? well the same reason Paris hilton and lindsey lohan keep gettn gigs...its hard to tell a girl no when she has your D@$K in her mouth.

@ flames - You're calling Kristen Stewart a "Level A" actor? LMAO!!!

I guess, in the light of that view, Uwe Boll must be a "Level A" director since he's still making movies, just like the makers of parody films like Epic Movie, Date Movie, Disaster Movie, Vampires Suck, etc. must be Oscar-worthy "Level A" directors who get snubbed each year, right?

@ teabag - LOL. About your earlier post, I understand what you mean. Stewart & Pattinson are perfect for each other. Both of them look 'high' all the time, on and off-screen.

Angelina's the #1 reason why I went to see it.. and.. the #1 reason I have the DVD.. But in essence... I actually liked the movie.. Throwing in that Twilight chick will be the reason why I'll see it when it's on TNT, TBS or FOX TV... :-p

More Millar crap. Why do people keep ringing his goddamn doorbell with a cam and mike in hand?!?!?! We've heard ENOUGH of him to last us a whole decade!!!

And as for Stewart, if Keanu Reeves had a vagina, he'd be named Kristen Stewart. Both of them play the same emotion in any scene and both of them have starred in decent movies. They get by on the fact that they only play roles that don't require any emotional range but are part of concepts that attract the movie going audience by millions. Slowly but surely, their price tags go up and eventually become labeled as "good actors" when they are actually abysmal at best.

However, these types of actors shouldn't be compared to idiots hired to be nothing more than eye candy which couldn't convince anyone of any emotion in any scene regardless of the director's talent. At the very least, Keanu Stewart does "something" right. And that something is only "right" when it fits the right "concept". Megan Fox couldn't pull off a decent performance if her very life depended on it. She will doom Fathom and tarnish Turner's memory and legacy.

Oh and if we have to explain why these "actors" are horrendous, you'll never get it so just quit while you're oblivious. Reality will then remain the fantasy you think it is.

Shaman
Shaman - 9/23/2010, 8:55 AM
loganoneil- LOL Yes well, i'm just sick of hearing or reading "excuses" that make no sense when people come to the defence of Megan and the like. "But it's not her fault!" Of course it's not her fault that she sucks, she's born that way. But it's not the script or the director's fault either. Sure, for ONE performance she could suck on account of those factors but when it recurs over ALL her performances, while the actors around her DO pull off decent to great performances, don't just "blame it on the rain" and come to her defence cause you'd wish she'd be sucking on your colonel. "But so and so was good in this and that!" Of course they were good in those, they were paid to say lines without having to display any emotions! People should realise why certain actors get certain awards and not the rest. They give those to actors on account of their OUTSTANDING past performances. Which NONE of the actors mentionned on this entire thread have ever had the ability to pull off. They do NOT stand out which means they never will be "great", can sometimes be considered "good", but are mostly forgettable. Game, set, match, shut it. Of course if anyone has hard facts that prove me wrong, feel free to bring'em.

loganoneil - 9/23/2010, 9:12 AM
I've got to chuckle at people equating phyiscal attractiveness to 'talent' and acting ability. Sure, I'll admit they're fun to look at, but at least try and take your brains out of your pants and actually evaulate performance based on what they're DOING, not how they look. Stewart (and Fox) couldn't act their way out of paper bags, yet STILL people defend them to their dying breath! Grow up! Why should these 'stars' get a pass when there are people out there who look good AND can act? Example: Christina Hendricks - SMOKING hot AND a decent actor! Not to change the subject, but I could TOTALLY see her as Red Sonja (as opposed to troll Rose McGowan)!

Oooo, I think I'm getting light-headed again. Better go lie down...
Shaman
Shaman - 9/23/2010, 9:26 AM
Gawd... Hendricks as Red Sonja would be an instant orgazm. Just imagine her humongus tits in that chain mail bikini. It'll never happen but we can dream too ;)

Oh and i second your motion. Rose McGaggin should definitely live under a bridge.

flames809
flames809 - 9/23/2010, 2:07 PM
ror- no when i say if a movie suck or is boring i mean it and when i say a movie is good i really mean it.

tea- but she still a actress

Protonite- nope im just saying shes a good actress thats why she has jobs in movie company cause if she never knew how to act she wouldn't have a job as being a actress. and those movies you mention are for fun entertainment only like comic book movies are and transformer movies and g.i.Joe movies are nothing else and to laugh at funny jokes.

shaman- Megan fox only has made 2 bad movies in her whole career Jonah hex and Jenifer body other than that shes done good movies and doing good performance in it. and Megan fox is a good actress so is Kristan
