Alright, I’m going to have to go ahead and preface this with a big ‘ol SPOILERS label concerning the original WANTED. Got it? Good.
So as most of us know, at the end of WANTED, Angelina Jolie’s Fox took and incredibly curved bullet to the skull. Now, that might be enough to kill off a normal character, but when you’re making a sequel, you kind of want the world’s hottest actress back on board. Director Timur Bekmambetov has been racking his brain to come up with a way to resurrect her, and he thinks he’s just about solved the riddle of the how and why.
“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,” he added. “I think we found the reason for her to come back.” The filmmaker said the story behind her return from the dead still trumps all other elements, but “we are trying hard…She was kind of… dead.”
Look, am I the only one who honestly couldn’t give a shit how she comes back? Are we forgetting that this is the world of WANTED, where you can spin bullets in circles, blow up buildings with rats and have Fate communicate its wishes to you with a loom? They could strike her body with lightning, harvest her DNA to clone her or yes, leave her in a wax vat for a few months, and after she springs to life I don’t think anyone’s going to be crying out “that’s not realistic!”
