WANTED: This movie to come out already!, originally uploaded by macslost.

If you haven't read this yet, you SHOULD. It's set in a standard super-hero world, only years ago the villains actually united and killed all of the super-heroes. Now they've separated the world into 5-6 pieces and run it like the mafia.

Anyway, long story short, this average kid turns out to be the son of a super-assassin who just got whacked and he gets trained by his dad's ex-girlfriend to be the next bad-ass assassin. Violent hilarity ensues.

The cool stuff: It's directed by the crazy Russian who did Night Watch and Day Watch (kick-ASS flicks) and stars James McAvoy (Last King of Scotland), Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. And if they only put in half of the awesome villains that are in the book, it'll be a great flick. It's a bonus that the book is self-contained and has an actual ending. Plus I know there'll be some awesome talent to be added to the movie, since there's a ton of characters.
