Angelina Jolie phone interview
Angelina Jolie did a radio interview where she talked about Wanted, life as a mother, and having to film the kissing scene with James McAvoy. James had mentioned that it was awfully awkward, something I’ve heard many actors in general say. You can listen to the interview over here.
The movie opens officially in just two more days - I’m so excited! I won’t be able to see it this weekend, but I’m hoping to see it soon. Who else is going?
Thanks to everyone for keeping things hopping over here in the comments while I was gone. We all enjoyed a much needed break out in the country by the lake, swimming, cooking food on the fire, listening to live music, and hiking. After a tiring trip home it was nice to find a lot of great conversation in the comments and not as many moderated comments as I had expected. That’s why I didn’t start a specific discussion thread, because I didn’t want it to get “broken” by missing comments. As for those of you who wondered why I was posting when I was away, that’s the magic of Wordpress - I simply found several great videos on Friday, and set them to post one per day ahead of time. That way everyone had stuff to see each day even if I was far away from Internet access.
It was nice to get away from everything but it’s nice to be back too!

I heard it, it was a great interview although the host talked more than angie did. I love the part when he asked her what’s next for her and she said have a couple of babies, that was great. I wonder what date she did the interview on. I will have to go back an check.

2 great interviews (look on the right column).
1. don’t watch if you don’t want to know how the spectaular stunts were done (starts off the same as other videos, but this is different): Access Exclusive - Behind the Scenes of Angelina Jolie’s ‘Wanted’ Pt. II.
2. Long interview of James McAvoy (seen with his lovely wife) with his beautiful Scots burr (I think it’s burr, the Irish have brogues, right?), & short one with director Timur @ premiere at LA Film Festival.

If you haven’t been by the Wanted website you have got to check it out.
If you explore and click on the little hexagons everyday you see it there should be bonus clips like a the whole shot out at the beginning in the store, the whole car chase in the red viper with Fox driving with her ft. And several others. But the clips are spoilers so if you don’t want to ruin the movie then don’t watch them but if you can’t wait like me watch them cause they are good.

I’m going to see it Friday too; hubby asked if I could wait until Saturday, I said no. Too bad it’s not playing in IMAX. As usual, I’ll see it a 2nd time this weekend - I’m sure there’ll be way too much going on for me to catch just in 1 viewing.

Pitt, Jolie give $1 mln to kids impacted by war 1 hour
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million for educational aid to children impacted by the Iraq war in that country and in the United States, a charitable organization said on Wednesday.
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given $500,000 to three groups in the war-torn country which will provide aid for some 5,700 children, said the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which is co-chaired by Jolie.
Money will pay for basic necessities, including books and supplies to help send Iraqi children to school. Aid will also go to refugee kids, and to school rehabilitation programs.
The foundation also gave $500,000 to help children in the United States who have a military parent killed in Iraq, or who are separated from a parent stationed in the country.
The donation for U.S. kids will go to the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program, which will provide educational tutors and counseling to 2,500 kids.
Pitt, 44, and Jolie, 33, have donated millions of dollars to charity over the years. Jolie, star of action movie “Wanted,” has long been an advocate for refugees and is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Pitt, who starred in critically acclaimed “Babel,” has advocated for relief in the Darfur region of Sudan and has backed a program to help build homes for survivors of Hurricane Katrina in the United States.
The pair have four kids of their own, and Jolie is expecting twins.

I CAN’T watch it this weekend. For some stupid reason, the swedish premiere is on september 12. By then I have moved to Denmark so I’m hoping they show it a bit earlier there, they usually do. In Sweden we don’t even have Kung Fu Panda yet! They honestly must want us to download it, how can they expect us to wait that long? It sucks, why show some movies MONTHS later than they are released in the rest of the world?
aa well, its nice to hear you have had a nice time on vacation atleast! You deserve it, you’re doing a great work keeping us all updated about Brangelina!

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2008/06/angelina-joli-1.html
Angelina Jolie talks about how much she loved being “foxy” in “Wanted.” “I love being a mom, but I miss the action, playing and shooting things up. I love that stuff, I do,” says the actress, who next appears in Clint Eastwood’s far more serious period mystery, “Changeling.”
Her “Wanted” costar James McAvoy reveals the truth about how Angelina became his “tormentor” in this action-packed film. “She kicked my backside raw!”

Hey I already watched “WANTED” already and I think I like the ending of it. Angie is really cool. However, I want to tell those that are going to watch it that you shouldn’t watch too much of the teaser or explore the movie website as you’ll not be excited when you really go for it in cinema.
Ligaya, I’m from Thailand.

Cool, Sal - I hope I see the temples someday. My husband’s voice teacher is married to a Thai woman. We were at the wedding; she was absolutely beautiful in the traditional dress & jewelry - made me want another wedding. Thai food is a big favorite with us - especially garlic prawns, satay, pad thai, mango over sweet rice, Thai iced coffee & tea. :-)

Variety’s Weekend Forecast
Disney-Pixar summer tentpole “Wall-E” and Universal’s turbo-charged Angelina Jolie starrer “Wanted” should fuel a continued winning streak at the June box office as they open this weekend, capping an unexpectedly strong month in terms of theater traffic. “Wall-E,” the ninth pic from Pixar, is opening in 3,992 theaters, the R-rated “Wanted” in 3,175.
Earlier this month, DreamWorks Animation and Wall-E,” the whimsical tale of a robot who’s all alone on the planet Earth of the future, was receiving nothing but rave reviews as of Thursday afternoon and is predicted to win the weekend overall.
There have been a number of surprises, and this weekend could bring another with “Wanted” should the actioner outperform other R-rated pics that have bowed in the summer.
Paramount’s “Kung Fu Panda” opened to $60.2 million. (”Panda” has grossed $164.5 million through Wednesday, according to Rentrak.) “Panda” had the advantage of opening in a less-crowded playing field, while “Wall-E” has the advantage of carrying the Pixar brand.
Tracking is strong for “Wanted” across all audiences, although it should skew on the younger side. It’s not commonplace for R-rated actioners to open in summer, a season for more kid-friendly fare. “Wanted” could take business away from Universal and Marvel Studios’ “The Incredible Hulk.”
Based on tracking and the combined strength of the cast and the action factor, some box office forecasters believe “Wanted” could cross the $40 million mark in its bow. An opening in the $30 million-$40 million range would be considered good.
Universal’s day-and-date launch of “Wanted” may have the best shot since it has the highest profile of any newcomer with launches in 22 territories including Russia, South Korea and the U.K. Foreign markets have shown plenty of traction recently for actioners such as “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” “Iron Man,” “Jumper” and “I Am Legend.”
Paramount is expanding “Kung Fu Panda” into Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with $70 million already banked in Asia.

HA HA HA, Sherry. Hubby is ROTFLOL. We don’t know how to cook Thai food - we eat out at one of the many (reasonably priced) Thai restaurants in the SF Bay Area. ;-)
But we’re the tour guides with the mostest, we can show you the most fabulous views & things only locals know about. So DO let us know if you’ll be in the area. :-)

Hee, that’s funny. Sort of like when a couple of friends came over for supper and I served Butter Chicken. They weren’t in the kitchen when I was prepping stuff so one of them asked if I could please give her the recipe. I laughed and said that it was pre-cooked from the grocery store, all I had done was put it in a baking dish to heat it in the oven. I love Indian food but it’s still new to me so I’m not quite comfortable enough to try cooking my own yet!
If I’m ever lucky enough to be in the Bay area I would totally take you up on that!

Hey Ligaya…glad to hear that you like many things about Thailand. If you have a chance, I hope you can come to our country to visit and have our Thai famous dishes.
Back to Angie’s new release, I hope you will enjoy WANTED when you go watch it. I would enjoy it more if I didn’t browse too much into those trailers and teaser in youtube or the movie website itself.

I’ve been curious to see Wanted, to see how well they can interpret this comic book. The trailers make it look very interesting, with lots of special effects and action.
