Angelina Jolie Pulls Out Of Wanted 2, Film Is Scrapped!

To star in Alfonso Cuarón's new Sci Fi movie, Jolie has pulled out of the planned Timur Bekmambetov-directed sequel at Universal, effectively killing the project...

Apparently Jolie was all set to reprise her role as the very much deceased assassin Fox in Wanted 2, but now her decision to leave the project has forced Universal to pull the plug rather than recast the film. Jole is now intent on starring in Warner Bros.’ Gravity, a space thriller to be directed by Children of Men’s Alfonso Cuarón from a script he wrote with his 28-year-old son, Jonás.



All thats known about the film so far is that Jolie's character will be alone on-screen for much of the movie, playing the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter. Sounds very like the little seen but absolutely brilliant Sam Rockwell movie from last year, Moon.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of Cuarón and Children Of Men was class so i'm looking forward to this..a lot more than I was Wanted 2 anyway!
