Wanted Ditches Unrealistic Costumes, But Includes The Destiny Loom

In a move to gain street cred for his characters, Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov did away with the kooky superherooutfits from Mark Millar 's original graphic novel. Yet he chose to include a totallybizarre plot device, the loom of life. In a new batch of Wanted pictures, you can see both Wesley Gibson ( James McAvoy ) and Sloan ( Morgan Freeman ) messing about with one of these magic looms, which determine thefate of everyone. I'm going to have to call shenanigans because I,personally, believe that a man dressed up in shiny long johns isway more plausible than a fabric-of-life loom.

According to InstantCast, while filming Wanted in Prague, the production crew assembled a large textile factoryjam-packed with destiny looms. These are looms that create fabricswhich are interwoven with the destinies of people. And it turns outthere's a mythical land where all-seeing weavers determine thebalance of the world. Let's all hope Wanted has more flipping vipers and bendy bullets, and less fancy loomanalogies. [ Wanted ]
