Starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and Angelina Jolie, Wanted is “the tale of one overlooked nobody’s transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice,” according to the film’s web site. Internet Movie Database says the film is about a young man who finds out his long lost father is an assassin. When his father is murdered, “the son is recruited into his father’s old organization and trained by a man named Sloan (played by Morgan Freeman) to follow in his dad’s footsteps.”

The film shot in the north Loop last year.
