I'm sure I'll see this never because not a single film adaptation based on an Image comic other than Spawn has ever been made.

Never heard of it, but, since it has a good director attached and it is a CBM I'll give it a chance.

I liked Wanted...

Read all 5 issues of the series. SO GOOD! Although very rushed...

I know everybody hates him, but Ryan Reynolds for Jon Moore!
