Wanted is an adaptation of a hit comic by Mark Millar and J.G Jones. The movie stars the aforementioned Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. McAvoy is a put upon office geek who suddenly finds out he has superpowers allowing him to become a badass assassin. Jolie and Freeman are his guides into the world of superpowered killing sprees.

The plot doesn’t matter much more than that, really. It comes in single, two-disc and Blu-Ray of course. There’s also a collector’s set that will lighten your pockets by nearly $70. It comes with a photo booklet, movie postcards and a framed 3-D cell.

Slipping in theaters this summer with considerably less hoopla was The X-Files:I Want to Believe. The reunion of Mulder and Scully took too long for audiences to care anymore. This one slipped in and out of the cinema quicker than those sneaky aliens Mulder’s always looking for.

The second X-Files movie now has a title. Variety says it will be called X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Apparently six years have elapsed since the end of the series and the film sequel, slated to hit theaters July 25.

Show creator Chris Carter is keeping pretty tight-lipped about the movie’s plot but has said it would stand on its own as a story. Carter told SCI FI.com’s Sci Fi Wire that he wants to “scare the pants off you” like a really good episode of the show.

Since he said “really good” I’m assuming that means no appearances by Robert Patrick or Annabeth Gish. I’m just saying.
