Universal Pictures sent out a press release yesterday saying that the movie adaptation of Wanted will hit theaters on June 27 next year, rather than March 28.
From the release:
In making the date-change announcement, Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures’ President of Distribution, stated, “After an early look at “Wanted”, we are certain that it fulfills its promise as a stunning, committed, thrilling, eye-popping vision that introduces a bold new narrative. We believe it can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the event titles of the summer and will give audiences a chance to discover a fresh new alternative. We are excited to date the film on June 27.”

Now see, JK, if you had left this good news for Graeme to post, he would have undoubtedly pulled this Millar reaction excerpt for our enjoyment:
…On the one hand am stoked that Universal got a boner when they saw the rough cut of the movie. On the other, that’s a Hell of a line-up we’re suddenly up against now…
Two things I appreciate in this pull quote. The guts to use “one hand” and “boner” in the same sentence. The capitalization of “Hell”.
Seriously though, a Hell of a compliment to the movie.

Hell is a proper noun.
Kinda like “Detroit.”
