If you had a chance to catch the Wanted featurette that we posted a few days back, then you are already aware that this movie is going to be wicked (and by wicked, I mean a “no-holds barred thrill ride the likes of which we have not seen since The Matrix“). And that was all just based on the footage that we’ve seen in english. As you will see below, this film brings the heat when translated to Russian. The following trailer is the first international trailer that we’ve seen and it definitely shows off more action, more of the film’s grit and of course, more stylish, kick-ass action. Have a look for your self:

Upon viewing this trailer, I have a few thoughts. First, ho-ly shit! I don’t normally slip into to giggly, drooly fanboy mode easily, but this film is absolutely rocking my world at the moment. I feel like that fat kid who really loves cake (as previously mentioned by rapper 50 Cent) — only, I’ve just discovered a brand new, fancy brand of cake — the kind that exists only in the wildly tripped-out mind of comic master Mark Millar. And somehow, director Timur Bekmambetov has brought that world to life on-screen. It appears, at this point, to be a beautiful union the likes of which we have not seen since they combined knives and bread.

The only problems that I see with this new trailer is that I don’t speak Russian, so I’ve gained no knowledge of what the sexy female voice is explaining. As well, I was bothered by the way Morgan Freeman’s Russian voice-over guy sounded. Nothing like voicing over Morgan Freeman with a white dude. As Gob Bluthe would say, “Come on!”

Aside from Freeman, Wanted stars Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Terrence Stamp, Common and Thomas Kretschmann. It hits theaters with it’s fancy guns locked and loaded on June 27th.
