Wanted is based on a graphic novel by scribe Mark Millar. It’s premise is pretty simple: a young man finds out his long lost father is an assassin, when said father turns up dead the young man is recruited into the same organization his father worked for and trained by a mysterious man named Sloan.

It sports a pretty good cast with Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp and Angelina Jolie as the heavy hitters. Rapper Common makes an appearance along with leading man James McAvoy (Chronicles of Narnia, The Last King of Scotland). The film is being directed by Russian sci-fi king Timur Bekmambetov, responsible for the Nightwatch trilogy.

Univeresal has been kind enough to release the trailer ahead of its predicted attachment to American Gangster on Friday. But watch it now over at Yahoo Movies, but be warned it’s a little too Matrix-y for our tastes.

Little tidbit for ya, but in the Mark Millar graphic novel, James McAvoy’s character is drawn to resemble Eminem (you’ll see from one of the shots after the jump taken from the graphic novel).

Wanted hits theaters on March 28th 2008. For some photos courtesy of Empire take the jump. MORE »

–> Looks like the King of Malibu is back on top…and off the wagon. Photos from a recent vacation show Mel Gibson looking a bit, um, blurry? They can take our lives, but they can never take our bourbon?

–>Thinking that stroller seat looks mighty empty for a brood of Puff Daddy’s size? Well, consider his fam expanded, as Puffy has announced that he is father to Sarah Chapman’s daughter, Chance. At first, of course, he denied it like it was going out of style, but DNA tests have confirmed his paternity, and he responded to Rush & Molloy that “At first, I wasn’t sure if this was my child. Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life.” He better keep it in his pants, or he’s going to throw all his money away on child support. He’s got a fucking Brady Bunch on his hands!

–> Really she’s sucking her thumb, but it appears that Zahara, who dad Brad Pitt said hates the paparazzi, is giving a big f-u to the surrounding cameramen. Or maybe she’s cursing her grandpa Jon Voight, who was seen leaving the Waldorf Astoria yesterday, where Brad, Angelina Jolie, and Co. are currently staying. A source said, “Jon wanted to meet the children but that didn’t happen. It was just a one-on-one with Angie but he thinks at least that’s a start.” Eek, remember in 2002 when he said that his daughter had “mental issues”–which could very well be true–and that statement began the estrangement? And then when he tried to comment on Shiloh’s birth to TMZ’s cameras and couldn’t even get her name right? Kind of a Desperate Dave, that one…

–>I used to get embarrassed when my dad would mention bras or tampons, but then again, I wasn’t raised by Keith Allen, who recently told reporters he used his infant daughter Lily (now a singer) to sell nitrate poppers at the Glastonbury Festival: “I didn’t see what was wrong with taking little Lily along with me as a sales tool rather like the homeless lads do with dogs. Cute puppy guarantees punters will stop and stroke it and therefore give you money. Lil’ sat next to the stall gurgling in a pushchair while I cranked up the sales patter and knocked out the lager.”

–>After their reunion show sold out in a reported 67 seconds, trouble’s a’ brewin for the Spice Girls: Victoria “Posh” Beckham, Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm, Melanie “Scary” Brown, Geri “Ginger” Halliwell, and Emma “Baby” Bunton. Ginger let slip the name of the new single, “Headlines”, to British chat show GMTV on Friday. A source for the Daily Star seems to think the other girls, er, women, will be “furious” that she released the name of their first single without alerting them. Sounds like a fake feud that the papers create to make news. Either way, you can continue on with your day now that you’ve found out the title of their new single, I know it was kind of “need to know” info.

Angelina Jolie was recently quoted by British Cosmopolitan as saying, “I had only slept with four men in my life - and I married two of them!” so Star magazine–to take their journalistic depths to the extreme–does the mathematical dirty work of pinning the deed on…Timothy Hutton? Let’s decode my “heart on an oak tree” first:

The two men that Jolie married are J.L.M. (Jonny Lee Miller, “Hackers”) and B.B.T (Billy Bob Thornton, “Sling Blade”), the latter of whom she adopted son Maddox with. Currently, she is LPs (life partners) and shacks with B.P. (Brad Pitt), adoptive dad to Maddox, daughter Zahara, and son Pax, and biological dad to daughter Shiloh (so Sherlock, they must have had sex somewhere along the way!). Leaving us with: Timothy Hutton? How, you say? First off, they met on the set of “Playing God” in 1997, and they were rumored to have been a couple. But here is Star’s backstory, via Celebitchy:

“Star can reveal that all signs point to actor Timothy Hutton as Angie’s mystery man! When the pair costarred in the 1997 thriller “Playing God”, there were whispers that they were an item. These rumors escalated when a tattoo of the letter H - for Hutton - appeared on the inside of her wrist.

Later Angelina, now 32, insisted the “H” was for her brother James Haven, not Timothy, 47. So why won’t Angelina admit that it was Timothy? He was divorced from actress Debra Winger at the time.

When she and Timothy broke up, Angie took it hard, the source says. “Angie was very in love with Timothy and wanted to get serious, but he didn’t,” says the insider. “He broke her heart, and that led to a downward spiral for her in terms of her mental health.” The insider adds that after the split, Angelina turned to women and experimented with heroin.”

This is a photo of Jolie’s tattoo homage to Hutton, and this was 1997: didn’t Hollywood learn anything from Johnny Depp’s Winona Forever tattoo (which now reads “Wino Forever”)–you may think it’s forever, but the only thing that’s forever is your tattoo. I don’t think that looks much like an “h” but typical of Jolie to find some ancient script that no one can read, and its meaning is always up for debate. “It’s an ‘h’!” “No, it’s a stork with a baby!” Celebitchy reported that the fourth mystery man was Colin Farrell, as he and Jolie were very “tight” during the filming of “Alexander” (in which they played son and mother), but they had forgotten her marriage to Jonny Lee Miller at the conclusion of “Hackers” filming. And with their mention of Farrell, in addition to the loads of other people I’d speculate she’s slept with, I don’t find much truth to her original quote. She seems dead-set in presenting this image as a socially-conscious, family-oriented, hard-working, selfless person, and while I’m sure she has elements of these traits in her personality, I think people forget that just a few years ago, she was wearing vials of blood around her neck, f-ing in the back of limos prior to award ceremonies, and doing heroin with Marilyn Manson.
