Jolie: Fox is like Mrs Smith

I often talk about Angelina Jolie. And I’ve already mentioned her new flick Wanted that’s released this Friday. But there’re not so many people who know much about Jolie’s character in this movie, Fox. And who can describe the character better than the actress playing it? Here’s what Angie said about Fox in her recent interview for Entertainment Weekly:

Maybe this [Fox] is Mrs. Smith after she killed Mr. Smith, went into depression, and got very, very, very moody. Fox is not happy, and she’s not easy to be around. She was interesting to me because she isn’t the love interest and she isn’t having fun with it like the Tomb Raider. She’s darker.”

So according to the script, Fox’s father was killed, and she’s dedicated her life to this idea of a code. “She doesn’t really have a life outside of that. She’s that person on the police force or something where their badge is their life and you can’t communicate with them on any other level,” Jolie added.

Mother-to-be revealed her reasons for doing Wanted:

I was in between A Mighty Heart and Changeling, which were two very, very emotionally difficult films to do. And my mom had passed away in that year. And I’d had a baby. So everything in me was just feeling very fragile. And so, knowing myself, I thought, what I need to do most is get up and get focused and get aggressive and get out of myself a little bit. We discussed that at home — that that would be good for me. Then I read this and knew they were casting McAvoy, and I thought, that sounds really unusual. I met Timur [Timur Bekmambetov, the director of Wanted and Russian most commercially successful flick Night Watch] and I knew that he’d include a story. I know that sounds odd, but a lot of action movies rely so much on generic special effects or a story we’ve heard before.”

Well, our expectations couldn’t be higher. Can’t wait to hit the movie. See Wanted in theaters starting from June, 27.
