What does Mark Miller’s graphic novel Wanted and the children’s classic Winnie the Pooh have in common? On the surface it seems like absolutely nothing, but Universal saw something and they’re going to use it. According to THR, the studio has just hired a writer for the sequel to the 2008 comic blockbuster and it’s none other than Evan Spiliotopoulos. He’s the guy who co-wrote the screenplay for Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, and it’s Halloween spin-off.

As we’re coming to the close of 2008 let us do what Hollywood does best, let’s give out some awards!
Without further delay, here are the winners (we didn’t bother with the whole nominee part) of the first ever ScreenCrave BS Awards. We have the categories you really care about like “Who greenlit this piece of shit“ and many more.
And the awards go to….
“Wanted”
Starring: James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman
It’s strange that Hollywood is trying to make a movie star out of McAvoy. He’s certainly a very good actor, but he makes Tom Cruise look like Shawn Bradley. Despite this, he’s thrust into this film as an action lead and never seems right for the part. Some people are just good actors and shouldn’t be movie stars, McAvoy is certainly one of those.
Fans of the film or McAvoy believers can pick this up in a bare bones edition and a 2-disc collector’s set.
