 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (so far at least)
Even I'd like to see this.
Day Watch looked nice but felt emptier than Night Watch. But still I'd like to see more from Bekmambetov. Is it true that Dusk Watch (aka Twilight Watch) is going to be a US production? That sounds rather lame.
I know Bekmambetov is directing it.

I know Bekmambetov is directing it. The project is being categorized as "in production" with the current release date scheduled for 2009. It is in talks for couple of years now, but there were no official news since the initial plan to make it a co-production with American actors was announced (which was like 2+ years ago I believe). And Bekmambetov answering the questions on New York Comic Con said: "WANTED is my DUSK WATCH for now, because it's really the same, a different story, but the same genre. I don't know when DUSK WATCH will happen. Let's say this is DUSK WATCH." It seems to me that Fox really lost interest in this after Day Watch flopped in US. So, I guess it's not gonna happen.

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (so far at least)
When I went to watch The Incredible Hulk with my friends last friday, we saw a few posters inside the theater and it seems like a lot of people are excited about this film!

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (so far at least)
Looks like this will be at least one of the summers best. It has a 100% at RT with 7 reviews and a 7.5/10 which is pretty good!!!

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
Both the Variety and Hollywood Reporter reviews are assigned 100 at Metacritic; when was the last time that happened to a summer release, not to mention an action film in general?

Could it out-RT Wall-E? KJ would probably explode if that happened.

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
That'd be AWESOME, but so, so unlikely, only because people on the internet are so gah-gah over Pixar and Wall-E. If Wanted even comes within 10% of it, that's damn impressive.

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
I'm surprised at the high reviews, as everything I've seen makes it look like a knockoff of The Matrix, fun but very derivative. Hopefully that's just the ads being misleading and hiding a lot of good stuff.

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
Unfortunately the RT Community isn't as supportive so far....
This film is definitely going to be a love/hate film

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
I wanted to see this before all the good reviews started coming in, now I'm just more excited.
This weekend looks fantastic. We'll have what seem like two great movies.

This film is definitely going to be a love/hate film and who really cares about the RT community anyway they're not the general public.  for two great releases to end June! I wonder how much TLG falls in its second weekend. Maybe it'll break that Ashlee Simpson movie's record mark.

 Re: Wanted - Best film of the summer (100% @ RT 10 reviews)
100% after 11 reviews now. Haven't been interested in an action-movie in a long time. And some people may underestimate this thinking it won't attract the female demographic, but I think it'll pull in very good numbers from the group.

That is awesome for Wanted! I can definetly see a 90%+ final if not higher than Iron Man.

Well it might have a bit of trouble getting girls to the theater, but mostly every 20-35 year old woman from my screening was speaking very highly of it. My sister (21) loved it and wants to see it again.

You are right Magnus. I think this will do 110-115 million domestically which is very good.
