Here’s the red band trailer to ‘Wanted’. Steve Irony has been ridiculously bullshit it’s taken this long to get it on the site. Why? Well, it’s chocked full of absurd action, bullet bending, Angelina looking hot, and a protagonist under 5′10″. That’s why…

What We Know:

• James McAvoy is the Scottish Shia LaBeouf. He’s getting cast in all sorts of leading roles despite kind of being a little bitch.
• The job stuff at the beginning is a pretty blatant ‘Fight Club’/'Matrix’ ripoff, except, unlike Keanu, McAvoy’s got an excuse for his crappy American accent.
• Angelina is getting better with age.
• Morgan Freeman dropping a big m-fer out of nowhere is pretty much the only thing that makes this trailer red band. And we’re OK with it.
• Common is in fucking everything lately.
• The director is some relatively unknown Russian dude, which explains his affinity for bullets and back tats.
• Wesley Gibson is actually a Director of Manufacturing in the McAllen, Texas area.
• It was nice of them to throw in the sunroof clip at the end just so you know for certain everything about this flick will — in fact — be completely over the top ludicrous.

What We Can Guess:

• We’d have had a tough time taking McAvoy seriously even before we heard he is rumored to be playing Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming ‘Hobbit’ movie.
• Angelina is great in the sack.
• The dude who takes the corkscrew bullet to the back of the head doesn’t live.
• This movie will be best viewed on a hungover Sunday afternoon.

What’s Unclear:

• If the flies pull through. And if not, what’s Peta’s stance? Will they call for Morgan Freeman’s SAG card?
• Whether this flick will be ‘Transporter’ meets ‘The Matrix’ meets ‘The Bourne Identity’ OR ‘Transporter’ meets ‘The Matrix Revolutions’ meets ‘Hitman’. It’s up in the air.
