'Wanted' posters draw criticism in Britain

LONDON, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- England's Advertising Standards Authority says two posters for Angelina Jolie's new action flick "Wanted" should not be seen by children.

The BBC quoted the group as saying the posters "could glamorize violence" by showing a gorgeous actress, along with guns and aspirational text. One poster reads, "Six weeks ago I was just like you ... and then I met her ... and my world was changed forever."

Universal Pictures argued Jolie and her co-star James McAvoy appear in stylized poses reminiscent of the comic books on which the movie is based.

The studio also said it wasn't previously told of any concerns regarding the posters and noted they are no longer in circulation.

The movie came out in England in June.
