| BERLIN (Reuters) – A German advent calendar for children has become a hot seller since word got out it has a picture of a notorious serial killer on it.

The Wanted movie trailer was posted yesterday. Although it seams to have little to do with the original comic, which is a dark twisted affair, the movie looks interesting. Sadly, it appears Angelina Jolie will NOT be donning the “Miss Fox” suit.
