While pundits will argue for years over who was the bigger loser — the Patriots or Paula Abdul –there were movie trailers to tide us over.

Above, the new WANTED trailer displays an anorexic Angelina Jolie in full-on feral mode teaching James McAvoy the ropes of assassindom. Reactions; MIXED.

IRON MAN, however, continues to build huge buzz.

You can see the trailer in hi-def at the Apple site.

  1. don’t forget Jumpers, which is getting a book tie-in at Oni.

    I can’t think of a comics connection to Leatherheads, which made me think of HORSEFEATHERS, a far superior film I’m sure.

    WALL – E? How about Short Circuit III?

  2. I dunno… that WANTED movie has its wires crossed. The original story reveled in the sheer immorality of super-villains in charge. This movie seems to try to turn assassins into anti-heroes? Ummm…. yeah.

    IRON MAN looks like it’ll be the big popcorn movie. I really like Robert Downey as Tony Stark.

  3. “This movie seems to try to turn assassins into anti-heroes? Ummm…. yeah.”

    Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir already succeeded with THE DESTROYER paperback series. Now if only someone could produce a really good movie … since Hollywood seems to be cribbing ideas from the series every year.

  4. I never read Wanted, wasn’t into it. But I admit, both movies look good to me, hopefully, they are. :)

  5. You are correct that Angelina looks terribly thin and unattractive. She looks too much like Ashley or Mary Kate. Jumpers does look pretty cool.
