Saint Angie Banned In The U.K.
Not Saint Angelina herself. If that happened, the world would be sucked into a black hole.
Just a couple of posters featuring Saint Angie holding a couple of guns were banned. The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority ruled that two movie posters for "Wanted" glamorize guns and violence. Only 17 complaints were made against the posters, but the ASA felt it was enough to ban them forever!
They issued this statement: "We acknowledged most viewers would understand the posters reflected the content of an action film. However, we considered that because the ads featured a glamorous actress, action poses, several images of, or related to guns and aspirational text, they could be seen to glamorize the use of guns and violence."
The studio said the images "were highly stylized and in keeping with the comic-book-based nature of the flick." That being said, they still had no choice but to pull the posters out of circulation.
Please! Guns were not the reason why the posters were banned! Saint Angelina's holy image is too much to take. Cars crashed into things! Trains grinded to a halt! Men went into convulsions in the streets. Schoolchildren missed class, because they were spending their days kneeling on the sidewalk, worshipping her image. It was a distraction.
And you know the head bitch of the ASA will disappear in a cloud of white smoke!

I agree with the Brits. It's blatent, vulgar and grotesque. Is it a poster for a movie or a gun advert? Typical American CRAP. Guns, explosions, guns, guns, explosions, flip a car, blow up a car, a quick cocktease shot of Angie's tits for the boys, and CUT! It's a wrap.
Didn't the loonie have this as her avvie once?
That headline title freaked me out for a second - They can't ban my beautiful Saint!! Whew. That was a scary moment, there, Michael K.
But that poster is ridiculous-looking, anyway. It doesn't look like a photograph, is it supposed to be a photograph? It looks like an amateur graffiti artist's spray-painted portrait, you know the big murals they put on the sides of crack hotels in east L.A.? Like that.

They need a warrant to carry guns. Just truncheons and pepper spray
A cop needs a warrant to carry a gun? What if the suspect has a gun? And what the hell is a truncheons?? Sorry to sound so ignorant.

I glanced at the tattoo on her upper arm...thought it said "SKANK" at first.....
more on dusk/twilight watch:
While out doing promotional duties for his American debut, WANTED, we asked director Timur Bekmambetov about the status of the next NIGHT WATCH film, aka TWILIGHT WATCH, which was announced way back when as the first English film in the franchise.
“It’s a big mess! I don’t know what will happen with this project," he reveals to Bloody-Disgusting. "WANTED took its place. WANTED became the American version of NIGHT WATCH. So for the moment I am not doing this.”
Whether this means the film will never be made, or simply handed over to another director is unknown, but Timur seems worried about repeating himself so soon.
“I don’t know what I could add, how to make it different. Right now it would just be another Wanted.”
But he’s not entirely giving up on vampires; the visionary director still plans on filming THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, which is about “vampires knights looking for the Holy Grail”. He's also still producing the animated sci-fi/fantasy NINE with Tim Burton, so there will be plenty of Bekmambetov goodness to make up for the possible loss of Twilight Watch. And for DAY WATCH fans: we also asked which Timur thinks is a more powerful object: WANTED'S 'Loom of Fate' or DAY WATCH'S 'Chalk of Destiny'. Timur laughed and then pondered it for a bit, before deciding that “The Chalk” was indeed more powerful.

Fair do's. Guns are bad. We've got enough problems with knife crime over here, and too many kids are getting hold of guns. Let's please not make them seem even more glamorous for the wannabe gangsta types than they already do. London is a scary place at night.

@Dee! Yeowch! But I've been trying to keep that one. It's been growing for years! Okay, I'm out. This crap isn't gonna take care of itself. I don't know why? I always tell it to, but it just sits there.
OT: They really didn't want the poster in the UK because it's too much competition for Keira Knightly to keep up with!

I saw the bootleg DVD and told my sister not to waste her money in the theater and she did, and boy did she regret it
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can do you one better. I downloaded a cam copy of the movie and even I felt ripped off.
I want my bandwidth back dammit.
Did you see daywatch or nightwatch? those movies KICKED ASS.
sexy russians - yummy.
I hope he's learned his lesson and doesn't sell out on twilight watch.
dogdammit! just looked on imdb and it's being filmed in english. this does not bode well.
I think this is good, the crime rates in the UK are really high, so this makes sense.

Look at her arm in that poster. Skin and bone. And that is WITH photoshop!

That poster's horrible anyway. Her arm looks like it should be facing the other way, like her hand and armpit are on backwards.

hard.
Whatever happened to quality?
It's a double shame as that directors previous efforts were outstanding.
May be UK families do not want thier childern to be confused between Humanity and promoting violence.
Ooh, an Angie post such a short time after a Jenny post! Ah, remember back not so long ago when that would have ended in hair pulling and back biting? Where's Slutty? I need to pull some back hairs.

Good! The posters were crappy, just like the movie.

I agree with PSL
let's all ban together against such censorship!
Um, okay so I had a few margs for lunch get over it.....

"Laugh alone and the world thinks you're an idiot".
For a film that came and went months ago!
Guns and street crime is a hot issue in the UK at the mo so you just know the people complaining did it for political reasons.
The poster should be banned for superimposing AJ's head like that.
That poster's horrible anyway. Her arm looks like it should be facing the other way, like her hand and armpit are on backwards.
well, that's not fair. I think we should protest.
