If you haven’t seen Wanted don’t read this story, because you’ll find out what happens at the end, but assuming you’ve watched it, read on! MTV has been talking to director Timur Bekmanbetov, who’s revealed that he’s worked out how Angelina Jolie can appear in Wanted 2.
That’s a bit of a surprise as she got shot in the head and died at the end of the first film, but as Wanted didn’t really make a load of sense, that’s not going to stand in the way of getting her into the sequel. Timur said, “If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax. We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head. But there has to be a reason for her to come back… And we know the reason. I think we found the reason for her to come back.”
Although Bekmanbetov didn’t say exactly how they’ll do it, it sounds like it’ll involve the healing wax baths, which is good news for fans, as they got a decent Jolie ass shot out of that location in the first movie. Thankfully Wanted is one of the few worlds where you could shoot someone in the head and then bring them back to life, and it wouldn’t seem particularly ridiculous compared to what’s gone on elsewhere in the franchise.
Timur also added that they’re hoping to shoot the movie this winter, which means we could see it as early as next summer.
(Oh and sorry about the Changeling picture, but any time we can post an image of Jolie wearing such a silly hat, we gotta do it).
