It doesn't look like we'll be seeing the return of Angelina Jolie in the sequel to Wanted. She just signed on to play the lead role in the upcoming science fiction thriller Gravity. The project is setup at Warner Bros. with Legendary Pictures (Inception, The Dark Knight) handling the film's production. Alfonso Cuarón will direct the film which he co-wrote with his son. Cuarón was attached at one point to direct The Tourist which Jolie just finished filming. It's not surprising to see more science fiction being put into development with such great sci-fi success stories like Star Trek, District 9 and Avatar.
Alfonso Cuarón is best known for the amazing science fiction film Children of Men. Also for directing one of the best Harry Potter films The Prisoner of Azkaban.
The film focuses on the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter. I'm curious to see what angle they go with on this one. I assume Cuarón will be coming from the practical side of recent science fiction films like Sunshine and Moon. On the other hand they could be trying to making something a little more similar to Ridley Scott's Alien.
