"Wanted 2 is moving ahead, according to director Timur Bekmambetov. The Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter helmer said that a script for the project is in development, adding that it will shock audiences.   &amp;quot;An unbelievable thing happened three weeks ago,&amp;quot; Bekmambetov told The Playlist. &amp;quot;Because we stopped, we didn&amp;#039;t know what to do for three or four years.  &amp;quot;Three weeks ago I came up with a great idea and I pitched this idea and everybody fell in love with it. And now I think we&amp;#039;re on track. Right now the writer is working on the script, and it will be shocking.&amp;quot; The original Wanted, based on the comic series by Mark Millar and J G Jones, starred James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie. It raked in $341 million at the global box office, on a budget of just $75 million. Bekmambetov went on to say that the sequel will continue the story of McAvoy&amp;#039;s Wesley Gibson. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a continuation of the story, with Wesley Gibson. Other people are dead, you know, we can&amp;#039;t bring them back. The story is the same character, same mythology, but it&amp;#039;s got a great twist,&amp;quot; he added.
