Wanted (2008 film)

Wanted is a 2008 American-German action thriller film based on the comic book miniseries of the same name by Mark Millar and J. G. Jones. The film, written by Chris Morgan, Michael Brandt, and Derek Haas and directed by Timur Bekmambetov stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and Angelina Jolie. The storyline follows Wesley Gibson (McAvoy), a frustrated account manager who discovers that he is the son of a professional assassin and decides to join the Fraternity, a secret society in which his father worked.

Universal Studios acquired the adaptation rights from Millar in 2004, and while the eventual script drifted from the comic book supervillain mythos in the original miniseries, Millar was content to see most of the comic's darker content was retained. Production began in April 2007, with filming in the Czech Republic, Budapest, and the story's main setting, Chicago. Wanted was released on June 2008 to both critical and commercial success, with box office earnings of $341 million worldwide and reviews praising the fast pacing and stylized action scenes. A sequel was planned the same year as the film's release, but ultimately stalled in the development phase.

Wanted

by: Spout

Here I stand... all alone
With no friends... to call my own
As they desert me, I remain
As people change, I stay the same
And all i ever wanted was to be wanted
All i ever wanted was to be wanted
All I ever wanted was to be wanted
I need these words to be said
Or i might I lose it again
Please tell me that I'm wanted
Please tell me that I'm wanted
Every day is the same day.
Every one is in my way.
Life's a riddle on repeat
Still you're no closer to me.
And all i ever wanted was to be wanted
All i ever wanted was to be wanted
All I ever wanted was to be wanted
I need these words to be said
Or i might I lose it again
Please tell me that I'm wanted
Please tell me that I'm wanted
And now I wonder why
Life's pleasures passed me by
Stand up and take the fall
