THE SIMPSONS MOVIE TOYS

McFarlane Toys has announced it has been tapped by Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising to support The Simpons Movie with a new line of intricately detailed action figures.

The new line, featuring classic characters from the long-running series, as well as new introductions to the film, will hit retail this spring before the July 27 release of the film.

All of McFarlane Toys' The Simpsons Movie products will feature voice chip technology, capturing dialog taken directly from the film's soundtrack.

"Precise sculpting and poses that capture the essence of the characters have made McFarlane Toys one of the leading action figure manufacturers and this line is going to thrill fans of The Simpsons," said Elie Dekel, executive vice president of Fox Licensing and Merchandising.

WANTED MOVIE

Universal Pictures has set a March 28, 2008 release for Wanted, a live-action movied based on the Top Cow comic book created by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones.

The film stars James McAvoy. It was written by Michael Brandt, Derek Haas and Chris Morgan and will be directed by Timur Bekmambetov. Producers are Marc E. Platt, Jim Lemley and Jason Netter. Executive producers are Marc Silvestri and Adam Siegel.

Here's how Universal describes the film:

"Wanted tells the story of one invisible drone's transformation into a dark avenger. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a superhero for a new millennium: Wesley Gibson.

"Twenty-five-year-old account manager Wes (James McAvoy) was the most pathetic, cube-dwelling hypochondriac the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend cheated on him daily and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this weakling would never amount to anything. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die a slow, clock-punching death.

"Until he became Wanted.

"After the murder of a father he never knew, Wes discovers powers beyond his dreams. He becomes the latest recruit in the Fraternity’ a secret society of assassins’ and develops lightning-quick reflexes with superhuman agility. Wes soon learns his league of henchmen has but one mission: carry out the death orders of the mythological Fates, weavers of every man's lifeline.

"With wickedly brilliant tutors, he morphs into a killing machine and starts erasing one bad guy after another. But, as Wes grows into the mantle passed down by his father’ he discovers his clan members are not exactly the enforcers of justice they claim to be. Just as he gets everything he ever Wanted, Wesley Gibson will learn that with the ability to deliver death comes an even more difficult power...controlling your own life."
