Russian Wanted Trailer Full of Bloody Goodness

Monday, May 26th, 2008 at 9:54 pm by Jami

Thanks to reader Jamyson Farias, we now have documented proof that Russian advertising is much more hard core than domestic advertising. The above is the Russian trailer for Wanted. Holy shit! It looks like a movie about an assassin’s guild instead of a movie about how hot Angelina Jolie is with tattoos and guns.

Now granted, Angelina Jolie does indeed look quite fetching with skin tight clothes and pistols. But I suspect the source material focuses much more on the assassin’s guild aspect of the story. Clearly, this is the aspect the Russians are most interested in. I think my interest in this flick was just kicked up a few notches.

Thanks again Jamyson. Bloody insane!

    Definitely pretty hard-core. It’s kind of sad, because I think I would have liked the movie a lot more had I not read the graphic novel. It would have been so cool to see the villains (Batman’s and Superman’s rogue galleries) win for once.

    Now THAT is how you create a trailer about a guild of assassins.

    Watch this trailer, and watch the American trailer and theres no comparison. I saw the English trailer in the theatre and I totally dismissed the film because it was hyped up with images of Angelina Jolie being this vampy assassin and the lead being a dorky guy turned cool hitman.

    The Russian version showed the metamorphosis, but in a darker way - disgruntled with his lifestyle, he becomes a killing machine. And oh yeah, Angelina Jolie is in it too.

    Goes to show you where the priorities are in marketing movies. Stars first - plot afterthought.

    Because Russians, unlike average American Smiths, are hard.

    Also, I lol at the dubbing of Freeman. Everything else sounded good BUT him.

    Don’t know if it’s just because I’ve heard about every language/accent in the last few days on my honeymoon trip to Italy, but I think it just sounds a hell of a lot cooler in Russian than it does in English (helps that I’m also reading Daywatch too I guess), can’t wait to see this flick in any language.

    Maybe it’s because in Russia the average woman is likely to be hotter than Angelina Jolie. So in order to get people to go see the movie, you bloody have to focus on something bloody different… Like… a bloody trailer :D .

    […] Also, regarding that awesome Russian trailer for the film, apparently Bekmambetov cut and entire new version of the film for Russian audiences with a translation written by the writer of Night Watch and Day Watch. I hope that version gets released on the U.S. DVD. I’d love to do a side-by-side comparison. […]
