OlderJames McAvoy is a Wanted Geek
James McAvoy attends the photocall for the movie Wanted at Adlon Hotel in Berlin, Germany on Tuesday.
Originally, James, 29, was rejected for the lead role of Wesley Gibson in Wanted.
“They wanted someone geeky. I screen-tested for the movie over a year ago and they never gave me the part. Then, it was about seven months later when they went, “Look, we’ve been trying to find someone who’s muscle-y who looks good and all that, but it just didn’t work with someone like that so they said, “Could you come and do it?” They basically just said, “You’re the runt of the litter and that’s what makes it work” so yeah, and that’s why I like it. So while I’m doing all this physical work, it’s important for me to remain small. I’m sure they want me to get all big, but it’s important to remain believably geeky,” he told Comingsoon.net back in February.

I see the hater Regina from FF is hear,always following the farts of Brad and Angie.
#4 - Yes, dreaming of having Gerard Butler on a platter.
I will go see this just to see Morgan Freeman.He is a damn good actor.
#4 is Slime.
I think all three of these people are great stars.The movie will be good.
Hater? God that word makes my skin crawl. Obviously you people can’t tell the difference between opinion and fact. It’s also funny that we’re on a James McAvoy topic, not Angelina Jolie, so if that’s all you can talk about.
James McAvoy is a very promising actor. he was so good in the Last King of Scotland. and Atonement. I think he had already replaced Orlando Bloom, as the most promising and famous young British actor.
James, Angelina and Morgan are both great actors. the movie will be good. and can’t wait to see it.
James McEvoy has a cute accent and an interesting personality….he does look “geeky” enough to me though cause I dont think he’s a stud or anything…
CANT WAIT to see the move WANTED….17 more days

Of course I’ll go waych this movie. Seems like a good story, Morgan Freeman, AJ, this McAvoy, I haven’t had the chance of seeing his work, a bit of Sci - Fi, action, special effects… and did I say Morgan Freeman? One of my favorite movies of all time is The Shawshank Redemption, after that, I just had to go watch almos every movie he is in. Also, AJ seems the perfect actress for the character and also the unlikely hero, McAvoy.
Angie Rocks!…..I didn’t know Gerard Butler was in this movie…?
screw the haters. Cant wait for this movie.
There were RUMORS of Brad being in Berlin just as there were RUMORS of Brad being in Houston Texas last week which were all LIES. NO PIXS OF BRAD IN EITHER CITY. Then pixs of Brad in Basel for couple of hours at an art show last Tuesday (one week ago) appeared for the same time he as supposed to be in Houston.
According to People he flew in from France to Basel last Tuesday, spendt a couple of hours in Basel, then flew right back to France and his family.
So take these RUMORS of Brad in Berlin with a grain of salt as UNTRUE unless there is PROOF. His partners in the design firm he works with and will be working on the hotel in Dubai are in Berlin and Brad visted there while in Prague last summer and the partners visited him in Prague last summer. It makes sense for him to visit Berlin but there have been pixs each time he has been in Berlin.
Helena/Regina
I see you are a two faced b*tch on every Brad and Angelina threads. You use Helena to be reasonable and turn around and use Regina for your nasty posts. Jared has outed you before and yet you are still your schizophrenic self with two split personalities. Take your medication, it might help you know which of the personalities that you really are.
WANTED is gonna have BIG problems against the movie of the year WALL*E. WALL*E is supposed to be the biggest animated film in years and it opens up on the same weekend as Wanted.
My kids will go see Wallie, but they won’t go see Wanted. These two films don’t share the same audiences. My hubby and I will get a sitter if we are going to see Wanted.
Thanks Jared. I can’t wait to see this movie, to see Angie, Morgan, James and Common. Angie is a badass in this movie :).
I like these actors in this movie.I saw trailor Angelina looks great.They will have my money.
I love James McAvoy!! He is such a great actor and really cute too! I can’t wait to see Wanted!
Regina!
A few facts, and a reminder to you:
Angelina is an Oscar winner, a winner
of 3 Golden Globes, 2 SAGs (yeah, by her peers!),
2 or 3 Critics Choice Awards (yeah, Critics too!),
and not to mention a trackload of the most important nominations!) - just to mention the most
important…
And yet she’s had a Huge BO success …ALL by herself.. with
TR!
All that came to a very young Angelina … years before
Pitt.
Also,
years before Pitt she was already a happy mom to her Madd
and an activist and humanitarian respected by the
world leaders and the people that matter (it’s been well over 7 years,
when doing good was not “in” yet!)
Yeah, she was already a pilot too - and the most beautifu and
the sexiest girl in the world.
Impressive!
a-l-l * t-h-a-t already happened
y-e-a-r-s * b-e-f-o-r-e Angie even knew Pitt.
Pitt had Nothing of all that before Angelina!
And he’s 12 (twelve!) years older than her!
What a lottery he was for her!
He was childless and living in a fake (fabricated by
the tabs and PR-machines) shi*t of a merger (you
know that now, don’t you?!)
he was considered a little bit more than a pinup,
someone that middle-age women drool over his but*t
Now HE wants to be Angie… a parent, a humanitarian,
a pilot!
Too late to the table, Mr Jolie ( being already almost 45!)
And he’s 12 (twelve!) years older than her!
Angie’s working with the likes of De Niro or Clint
Eastwood, etc, etc, ………………………………………….,
has absolutely nothing to do with Pitt …………
they don’t want him.
Now you do your math, I believe you can do it.
It’s that Simple.
And, best of all, everything I said is true.
Stop lying and being mean to someone who doesn’t
have anything to do with Ms Nobody..Maniston should be
ashamed of herself for lying and manipulating the tabs - and
You (together with her Huvane).
Pitt was a 41-yr-old man
when HE really did dump Maniston….
….shocking!
If you need to do it, after years of Pitt dumping her,
blame Pitt and Maniston - they are the only ones
responsible for - their own faliures.
Enough is enough.

What is FF?
Can’t believe we can’t even have a post on James McAvoy without people like #38 talking about Brad Pitt’s travel plans. For God’s sake….. You people do more to turn fans OFF of Brad and Angelina than educate and inform them. There is a time and place, you know…
Yes, Rien, Atonement was VERY good. And Keira was good in it, too, but she’s not on all the time, so if she bugs you, you can still like the movie.

Tell that to #13 who brought the issue up. My comment was in response to that. OK?
Now as to Wanted and JamesMc, he is a pretty good actor, this role is quite a departure from his previous roles, and that is good for his career. I believe he and his wife are (were) in Prague shooting a new film so Berlin is quite close. Wanted should do well as a counter to Wall-E.
I keep hearing what a big hit Wall-E will be but I can’t help wondering if Wall-E will be that much bigger than KFP as some say it will be.
Has no one else noticed how well he fills those pants? Hot.
Remember da truth
i am sorry, but it’s absolutely idiotic and totally not fair
to blame anyone for other people’s OBVIOUS FAILURES.
Pitt and Maniston were both close to their 40th b-day,
not i5, 25, and not even 35 anymore -
take your
RESPONSIBILITIES!!!
That makes people’s skin crawl, and for a reason, again.
Really what a “lottery” was Mister Jolie!
I can’t wait for this film.
Looking forward to see Jolie and Freeman ..the best!
I don’t know enough about James to say anything, but I read
his interview and liked how down-to-earth he seemed -
the same as Angelina and Morgan.
