"You don't need to bend bullets anymore. You need to bend ideas." Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov has revealed he has a unique idea in mind if he were to ever make a sequel to the 2008 action-thriller.Loosely based on J. G. Jones and Mark Millar's comic book series of the same name, the original sees Common, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie play three weaponry whizzes who train James McAvoy's meek Wesley Gibson to be an expert assassin.Rumours of a follow-up have been around since its release and now, Bekmambetov has stated that he'd be keen to do one in Screenlife, an innovative format that sees stories told entirely from the POV of a character's laptop or smartphone screens. Think Searching, or Bekmambetov's horror outing Unfriended."I cannot imagine an assassin in today's world would run with a gun. Why? He will use drones, he will use computer technology, probably," the filmmaker explained to Deadline recently. "You don't need to bend bullets anymore. You need to bend ideas."During the chat, Bekmambetov also went on to say that applying the Screenlife method has made making movies much easier during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as actors can continue to self-isolate at home while they produce new content."During this crazy time, we have been living in Screenlife mode, and it is very organic to produce movies because they can be done while people are home in their safe place," he explained. "We are all in different cities, and we can record screens without meeting each other. It's the nature of this language, this Screenlife format, to work like this." According to the publication, Bekmambetov has just signed a 5-picture deal with Universal, off the back of the success of Unfriended, which cost around $1 million to make and made $65 million worldwide. Might Wanted 2 wind up being one of them?
