Synopsis:
Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel
series and helmed by stunning visualist director
Timur Bekmambetov--creator of the most successful
Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch
series--Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's
transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of
justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to
a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson.
25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected,
cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His
boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored
him routinely and his life plodded on interminably.
Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would
amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes
to do but wile away the days and die in his slow,
clock-punching rut.
Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).
After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly
sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret
society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death
by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches
him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and
phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives
by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death
orders given by fate itself.
With wickedly brilliant tutors--including the Fraternity's
enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)--Wes grows
to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly,
he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous
associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers
between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will
come to learn what no one could ever teach him:
he alone controls his destiny.
