Angelina Jolie , Wanted Movie Interview

I think it has a great story. I think it actually has... you'll be really rooting for James in it. I think... and I think the action scenes, having been somebody that's done action movies, the action sequences are new. They've not been seen before. The story is new. The scenes are new. So it's not just an action movie where we'll say, Oh, that was cool, but I've seen that. It's totally, totally original. And it's also wicked funny. It's got a really good sense of humor to it. We are a fraternity of assassins. The weapons of fate. Kill one, save a thousand. The fraternity has trained assassins for thousands of years. You'll be given everything you need to kill your target. Have you ever thought about doing things differently? How do you mean? Being somebody... normal. Yeah. James is so lovely and he's such a good sport, but his character is... I think so many people are going to identify with his character because he's kind of the everyman that doesn't know what he's doing in this place and he's got these very tough people kind of forcing him to do something and being very, very hard on him. This is the mind-numbing black hole I call a job. And this is me, Wesley Gibson. Nobody. Like everybody else, I just keep waiting for a lotto ticket out of my boring existence and into a life that means something. I knew your father. My father died the week I was born. Your father died yesterday on the rooftop of the Metropolitan building. He was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived. And the other one is behind you. Some action movies don't have good stories. This does have a good story and good characters and a lot of the, I think, action movies today, they just spend a lot of money to do a big stunt. And he doesn't rely on that. He's very creative, so what he's going to try is not just an explosion. It's going to be something more original, more unique. And I think that's what makes him very good for this. Well, the stunt lady had to make sure the rig was working. You know, the stunt person goes on first to say... Because they strap a belt around you and then just take you through the streets of Chicago and do this and this and you just try to hold on and shoot. But no, I did... I mean, once the rig was set, then I did it, so it was fine. But it was fun. Cut! There's this part where I flip to the side and a bus comes in front of me. And my hand kept going on the wheel. That was the only thing we kept worrying about. Like, my hand kept... It's hard to explain. But touching when a car's moving really fast and your hand goes on the wheel, it's just not a good... But no, it was a lot of fun. I miss that stuff, you know? I love being a mom and I love being home, but every once in a while, I like... You know how they say someday a girl's going to come along and change your world forever? You have no idea. Could you let me out at the next corner, please? Please be quiet! Six weeks ago, I was just like you. And then I met her. I get to be Foxy, finally. I've been doing some serious films and I love them. Now, we don't know how far the ripples of our decisions go. That's what we believe in. And that's why we do it. Are we going to bond? Would you like to? Morgan's just amazing. Morgan, he flies planes, he speaks different languages, he cooks, he sings, he's like... He's Morgan Freeman, he's everything. And he has the most extraordinary... He's the voice of God. He's the most extraordinary voice. So he could just say anything and you'll believe it. So it was just lovely just to work with him and to watch him do his thing. And he's tough in this one. I think he will surprise people in this movie. It's a different side of Morgan Freeman. I thought he'd be taller. Shoot the wings off the flies. You're insane. Insanity is coasting through life in a miserable existence when you have a caged lion locked inside. I really think you had me mixed up with somebody else. Shoot the wings off the flies. Either you shoot or I do. Only a few people in the world can do that. I can't even see them! Your father could do it. And you can do it. But every once in a while I miss... I miss the action movie. I miss playing and shooting things up.
