Brad Pitt Swings Maddox Like a Monkey

its so sad to the fanistons!

Everyday there are pictures of them here.. But everyday I am pleased to see them with such a strong sense of family values. Just proves that a not so conventional family, can still be a loving, caring, nurturing environment..

So can we shoot Britney now? hehehe

Mark Millar has made a report about his trip to the Wanted set:

Hey you,

I think I may have to rethink my position on foreigners. Normally, they annoy me as you know because they eat strange food and can’t speak English, often waving their hands and shouting when they needn’t. I hate travelling in general, but especially travelling to countries that aren’t called America or Australia. Even Canada’s a bit ****, a big chunk of the population speaking French for no good reason except to irritate. And so the trip to Prague didn’t seem so alluring. My only experience of Eastern Europe was a solo trip to Bulgaria (which was ****) and the movie Hostel (which was terrifying). I feared this report might never be written and I’d end up tied to a chair, raped and murdered for the amusement of a Spanish IT specialist at the cost of 30 thousand US dollars. Comic writers don’t come cheap.

But you know what? It was brilliant. Despite a five hour delay in Amsterdam, I had a great time and there I nothing– I mean NOTHING– more surreal than wandering around enormous, high school-sized sets of something that lived only in your head just a few years before. I wandered around wesley’s apartment, touched the bedframe you saw on the splash page of issue two, sat on the chair where he was being toughened up just a few pages later and watched, in awe, the final edit of the scene from the end of the first issue. I promised Universal’s white hot PR chick I wouldn’t get more specific, but trust me when I say I’m still grinning from how good this looks. In a country where you can get a Big Mac for the equivalent of 50 cents you can imagine what 100 million dollars looks like on-screen. I saw the first 25 minutes of the movie itself and it’s jaw-dropping. as we all know, the super-villains are different kind of villains now, but this first act is almost scene for scene the first two issues of the comic, right down to the dialogue and the captions. I couldn’t be more happy with it. Timur is amazing. The west doesn’t know what they’re getting next March or how great he is yet. I instantly clicked with him as a guy and we’re talking about another project together. I think he’s the next big thing, perhaps the best action director around at the moment.

McAvoy in particular is just brilliant. He’s a nice wee guy and grew up just a few miles from me, having gone to all the same pubs and football matches I did as well as the big water complex (The Time Capsule) just a few hundred yards where I lived through the nineties. He brings Wesley to life like nobody else I could imagine, that weird combo of cool and geeky, terrified and remorseless as he makes the jump from a guy who can’t break up with his bird to a guy blowing hundreds of people away without even blinking. He’s a TRIUMPH, darlings, as is Angelina and Morgan Freeman. Angelina was shooting the main day I was on the set and could not have been more friendly. It was weird meeting here after seeing her face on the cover of almost every magazine in the airport, but she’s very easy-going, super-smart and pretty hot too. She can engage about everything from Henry Kissinger to British comedies and has a huge DVD collection, her impression of Little Britain’s chav teenager being a jaw-dropper as it’s the last thing I expected to come out of her mouth. Got on very well with her and she seemed into the material so all looking good.

My only complaint, really, is the food. I arrived first day and found that these huge marquees had been built for the 500 people on the set where top chefs put together top nosh for the crew and extras. But it was all a bit rich for this lowly Scot and I asked where the nearest McDonalds was. One of the producers was aghast, saying these were some of the best chefs in the world and I just shook my head and explained that if they were as good as McDonalds THEY would have restaurants dotted all across the world. We had drivers for the visit and I disappeared with one of them, buying TWO Big Macs (one for lunch and one for heating up later for dinner). I can report that the Czech Big Macs are every bit as good as the American ones so a big thumbs up. My wife asked me what Prague itself was like, but in truth I didn’t really look around. As soon as shooting and dinners were over I parked myself in an Irish bar called Caffrey’s (on the old Square) and stayed in there all night watching English TV and getting rat-arsed with the crew. But their Guinness was excellent. So it’s a country worth checking out if you’re into a) McDonalds and b) Guinness. I heartily recommend it.

Home with a ton of photos, but sadly can’t share them until Summer’s out the way and PR campaign begins. Spidey and his amazing friends are still dominating the box office here so they asked me to hold off on posting these pics until they give the green light (everyone else’s cameras having been banned during the shooting). But these pics are so friggin’ cool I can barely contain myself. I sent a pic of me and Angelina to an old school friend I hadn’t been in touch with for a few years under the headline “Have you met my new bird?” and his reply was a near-instant “You lucky c*nt!” so it’s worth its weight in gold already. It’s true, though, I AM a lucky c*nt.

It’s good to be back.

Your boy,
MM
