Angelina Jolie, Wanted On PC!

One of these days, I was reading some comments related to Angelina Jolie on a site, I can't remember exactly the site and the movie/image those guys and girls were talking about, but one thing is certain: Angelina Jolie is HOT, and I guess she'll remain this way for a very long time, and "Wanted" is the last movie to prove it. The interesting part is that we just heard something to make us dream about having Angelina on our PCs in a game...

...since Universal Studios Home Entertainment has just made public the fact that a game based on the movie is in the making! Just read this: "Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group (UPDPG) is creating a video game based on Universal Pictures' blockbuster action-thriller "Wanted", starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. The game will be published worldwide by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and is being developed by renowned game developer GRIN, best known for its work on the Tom Clancy: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series and the upcoming Bionic Commando. The film, which was released on June 27, 2008, has earned $192 million in worldwide box office to date."

Now, there's one big question - could we get at least a glimpse of Angelina on our PCs, during the game's cinematics, or maybe even a 3D model of her, or not?

According to the developers, this game has been "between the hammer and the anvil" since early 2007, so I guess they will keep the promise of giving us the game before the end of this year, especially since Wanted - the game promises to be more than just a game based on a movie, with a completely new story, starting exactly where the movie left off, so this would be more than a sequel of a movie turned into a game, rather than just a game closely following a movie, and nothing more!

After going through the press release a few times, I had a sad revelation - Angelina Jolie and the other big stars in the movie are only mentioned in the first paragraph, the one I quoted earlier, so they won't probably be in the game, but let's hope for a surprise! After all, hope dies last, isn't it?
