I’d have Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn on writing duties for the reboot and possibly Vaughn himself on directing duties. Although I hear Millar has an interest in directing films, so a reboot of Wanted may be a good vehicle for him to start.

I think part of the problem is that the director does not like magic very much. In a commentary in some interview he gave around the time Night Watch was finally released over here he said something about wanting to minimize the magic because it wasn’t his cup of tea. This perhaps explains why the Wanted story was changed from a world where all the comic-type super villains teamed up and all the magical villains combined power to cast a reality-warp spell to make the world think it was “mundane” and that all the heroes were just actors who had played comic book heroes on TV and in film, while the actual villains became corporate cabal secret overlords.

So yeah. I really do NOT need a sequel to such a terrible, tedious movie. Frankly Angelina Jolie managed to wring out the only interesting character material in the whole film so I can see why she’s just done.

That reminds me, there’s a re-boot of Munsters coming :)
