Thanks to Empire Magazine and the Wrap for bringing this to my attention but I really didn't understand at first why they were making another Wanted film as I saw the first Wanted film and to be honest it was horrendous especially the end of the film with the scene involving all the rats blowing up...making James McAvoy look like The Piped Piper has become a terrrorist after getting bored with using his pipe.
Universal Studios have rehired Michael Brandt and Derek Haas to write (and bare in mind this is only at the writing stage thank goodness) Wanted 2.
But knowing that the first film stumped up $341m worldwide on a budget of $75m it's not hard to see why Universal Studios want to put this set of films back on the map. The storyline will apparently pick up a couple of years after the events that the last film finished on.
There is no director yet attached but Derek Haas has tweeted that he would love to work with Timur Berkmambetov who directed the first Wanted film but knowing what Brandt and Haas have already worked on together I can see why Universal wanted them to write this sequel.
They have wrote '2 Fast 2 Furious', '3:10 To Yuma' and of course the original 'Wanted' film.
For me to be one of the many cinemagoers that see this next Wanted film there has to be an incredible director attached to this as well as the cast list has to be to a high standard i.e the cast have to have a few names to entice not just me but other cinemagoers if Universal want to hit or break its last worldwide figures.
