Quote:

Wesley: [upon being startled by Fox] I'm sorry.
Fox: You apologize too much.
Wesley: [awkwardly] Well, sorry about that.
Fox: I knew your father.
Wesley: My father left the week I was born, so...
Fox: Your father died yesterday on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building. Sorry.
Wesley: [laughing in disbelief] Look, the liquor aisle is just over there, so if you want to go...
Fox: [interrupting] Your father was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived. The man who killed him is behind you.

Goofs:

- When Wesley Gibson is tied to the chair and punched in the face, a cut on the bridge on his nose disappears and re-appears in some shots.

- After Fox's car drives off the bus during the first car chase, the back window shatters. Minutes later it is back, with minimal damage.

- The movie is suppose to take place in Chicago, but when Wesley drives the Mustang and Fox drives the C4 Corvette to assassinate the man in the limousine, they race through Long Island City, Queens. The Citicorp building and the New York City skyline are in the background.

- The Fraternity would not have called themselves that 1,000 years ago. The word first appeared around 1309, as the Middle English word "fraternite." In fact, the founders would have spoken Old English, which has more in common with Old Norse than Modern English. The closest equivalent would probably be a word based on "broþor", the Old English for "brother" (as in brotherhood).

Trivia:

One of Cross' victims is identified by the Gunsmith as "Rictus". The main antagonist in the comic book is Mister Rictus.In the Russian edit of the movie, most of the texts visible on screen are translated via CGI: the texts on the ATM, the shop register, the flying keyboard letters (which spell the Russian curse "PSHEL NAH" instead of "FUCK YOU").For the Russian dubbing, many Russian film stars from Nochnoy dozor (2004), Dnevnoy dozor (2006) and Ironiya sudby. Prodolzhenie (2007) took part: Sergey Bezrukov for James McAvoy, Galina Tyunina for Angelina Jolie, Yuriy Kutsenko, Valeriy Zolotukhin and others. The Russian dubbing script was written by Sergey Lukyanenko.After Wesley leaves his job, you can see a sign for "Wicked: The Musical" in the background. Producer Marc Platt produced the Broadway show.
After Wesley leaves his job, you can see a sign for "Wicked: The Musical" in the background. Producer Marc Platt produced the Broadway show.The man pictured in the poster next to Cross' shoulder when he is on the train is the president of the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus.Angelina Jolie says she based her role in Wanted on Clint Eastwood.The first film to use Red Digital Cinema's Red One digital cameras. Several prototypes were used, alongside film cameras, to shoot about ten scenes. However, no Red One footage appears in the final cut of the film.While on location in Chicago, The Dark Knight (2008) was the neighboring film production, in which Morgan Freeman worked concurrently with this film. On one occasion, Mark Millar, the creator, sneaked onto the neighboring set to see the Batpod - which was used for filming. He was evicted from the set when security and Lauren Shuler Donner (who visited the set as well) caught him in the act.James McAvoy screen tested for the lead role in early 2006 but was initially rejected as the studio wanted a more conventional Hollywood man. He was later recalled as the producers considered him more of a 'runt of a litter'. The studio ultimately changed their minds, and wanted someone geeky.The graphic novel features superhero costumes worn by many characters but the film eliminates them, except the leather attire worn by Wesley and The Fox.The script went through several revisions with the most significant one being the third act that was rewritten by Chris Morgan in mid-2006. The first draft was rejected by Mark Millar because Millar felt the script was too tame and Americanized. Dean Georgaris also contributed a rewrite and tailored the role of The Fox specially for Angelina Jolie. Finally, original writers Derek Haas and Michael Brandt then put in the final rewrite to even out the voice of Wesley which was established in the first draft.Vehicles featured include a Dodge Viper SRT-10 , 1966 Ford Mustang , Chevrolet Corvette [C4] , the police cars consist of Ford Crown Victorias and a 2000 Chevrolet Impala 9CI ,Elevated Subway Trains , Garbage Truck , a Chevrolet Step Van an Express Train and a 1971 VAZ 2101 Zhiguli.Branko Tomovic auditioned for the part of The Repairman.James McAvoy worked out to improve his physique for the film's action scenes, and suffered several injuries during shooting, including a twisted ankle and an injured knee.Danny Elfman was invited to do the score, and accepted because he was a fan of Timur Bekmambetov's previous films, Nochnoy dozor (2004) and Dnevnoy dozor (2006).Director Timur Bekmambetov is planning a sequel to Wanted with the studio, though creator Mark Millar has denied that he will write a sequel to the comic book. He is instead creating a story along with the producers.The train is a Czech railways 680 class "Pendolino" made by French company Alstom.Jessica Biel was considered to play Fox.Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett Smith, and 'Beyonce Knowles' were considered for the role of Fox.

Heroes from the past, modern days, the movies, the personal

Heroe modern days

Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez, better known as Juanes (for the contraction of his first and middle name) was born August 9, 1972 in Carolina del Príncipe, Antioquia Colombia. Juanes can be said to be a Colombian fusion musician because of the combination of Colombian rhythms such as cumbia and vallenato with rock and pop. During the 1980s and 1990s, Juanes was a member of heavy metal band Ekhymosis but disbanded the group in 1998 to move to Los Angeles and pursue a solo career. In 2000 his solo debut album, Fíjate Bien, had moderate commercial success and went on to win three Latin Grammy Awards.Juanes is one of the best-selling Colombian musicians Juanes is one of the best-selling Colombian musonsicians, having sold more than ten million albums and won seventeen.

Heroe the movies




Edward Cullen is a fictional character from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. He features in the books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, as well as the Twilight film, and the as yet unfinished novel Midnight Sun - a re-telling of the events of Twilight from Edward's perspective. Edward is a vampire who, over the course of the Twilight series, falls in love with, marries, and has a child with Bella Swan, a human teenager who later chooses to become a vampire also. In the 2008 Twilight film, Edward is played by actor Robert Pattinson.
Edward is described in the book and by Bella as being charming, polite, determined, and very stubborn. He is very protective over Bella and puts her safety, humanity and welfare before anything else. He often over-analyzes situations and has a tendency to overreact, especially in situations where Bella's safety is at risk. He retains some outdated speech from his human life in the early 20th century. Edward sees himself as a monster, and after falling in love with Bella, he desperately wishes that he were human instead of a vampire.


Heroe from the past



Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), born Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was an Albanian Catholic nun with Indian citizenship who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata (Calcutta), India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
By the 1970s she was internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocate for the poor and helpless, due in part to a documentary and book Something Beautiful for God by Malcolm Muggeridge. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counselling programs, orphanages, and schools. Mother Teresa inspired a variety of commemorations. She has been memorialized through museums, been named patroness of various churches, and had various structures and roads named after her.
Heroe the personal

Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament, with most Christian denominations believing him to be the Son of God who was raised from the dead. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah.[Several other religions revere him in some way. He is one of the most influential figures in human history.

The principal sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical gospels, especially the Synoptic Gospels, though some scholars argue such texts as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews are also relevant. Most critical scholars in biblical studies believe that some parts of the New Testament are useful for reconstructing Jesus' life, agreeing that Jesus was a Jew who was regarded as a teacher and healer, that he was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire. Aside from these few conclusions, academic debate continues regarding the chronology, the central message of Jesus' preaching, his social class, cultural environment, and religious orientation. Scholars offer competing descriptions of Jesus as the awaited Messiah, as a self-described Messiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement.
