MySpace and TechCrunch are hosting a special pre-screening of the new Angelina Jolie film “Wanted” on Monday, June 23 in San Francisco, four days before the official June 27, 2008 release. The theatrical release of “Wanted” is promoted as part of the MySpace Black Curtain Screening program.
MySpace is providing the TechCrunch community with the theater and screening (huge thanks, guys), which will be held at The AMC Metreon in San Francisco. We have 200 FREE tickets to release for this screening. Reserve a ticket to attend, and the movie starts at 7:30 p.m. (you can arrive as early as 6:30). If you reserve a ticket, you really do need to attend. Ticket holders who do not show up will be subject to restrictions for future TechCrunch events.
If you’d like to come, you can reserve a ticket at EventBrite. We will check your name against a list of registered attendees at the door. There’s no charge for the event, we just ask that you not reserve tickets if you don’t plan to attend (we’ll have a wait list once the tickets are sold out).
Why are MySpace and TechCrunch doing this? Just to say thank you to our readers and encourage warm fuzzy, advertisement-clicking feelings in you all. And the Iron Man screening we did was a blast. Besides, we think Angelina Jolie is kind of hot.

Boycotting this movie box office bust is the only way to end Angelina Jolie’s baby-consuming rampage.
saw it in LA. They don’t show her boobs.
Thank you, TechCrunch! Thank you Michael, Heather, anyone else?
In return, I’m checking out each of your sponsors.
In fact, maybe you should link to them in the next post about a TechCrunch event.
slow-motion bullets are so 90’s.
but on the plus side, evolution will take over as some yokels try to “curve the bullet.”
Awesome - wish I could make it - looks like fun.
Is this a payback for tc50 and all the exclusives they have been giving tc?
so how long before you get a cease and desist letter from the movie studio?
Going to welcome this opportunity to pimp ‘Wanted: The Fraternity’ at http://www.wantedfraternity.com; a site we created for Universal promoting this very movie.
Five mini-games, and the chance to journey from world’s biggest loser to world’s deadliest assassin. Or, at least, the chance to while away a chunk of your morning/afternoon/evening beating the shit out of your keyboard.
WOW! And I hate CGI! But I might need to see this. As if Jolie couldn’t get any badder than she is….
Sold out in under 20 minutes. Not bad.
I sort of liked the $1/ticket idea from Iron Man. You’d be surprised how many fewer people will reserve bogus tickets if there’s even an insignificant cost to it.
Wait — false alarm. They’re back.
…and sold out again. I’ll stop the active commentary now
I’ll just keep reading TC than watching this one …
Any movie with Acid Burn is worth watching
Man, to hack a gibson…
When do we hear if we get tickets if we are on the wait list?
Oh boy.. Angelina :D… i can’t wait for WANTED to play in theaters….
Very Onionesque headline there, Mike.
Will she show up in person?
Dang. That’s what I get for having a job. I’m over here fixing server issues, I’m offline for 1 hour, come back and I missed some free stuff. The metreon is 10 minutes from me on foot. Too bad
Sheesh. Those went pretty quick. Nothing like “FREE” to get people’s attention.
I am such a movie fan that I would have went in a heartbeat but sadly I live in New York… oh well… have fun guns..
I mean guys… not guns… lol - little typo… - wish we had a five second edit or something like Digg.com does.
Sounds great, but i probably wouldn’t be able to make it. 4 days is not that long a way. The official release is on the 27th of june.
Thanks for the offer. Comment #4 rules, but the movie…
Google no-likey when you say things like that with AdSense on the page.
We will release “wait list” tickets promptly at 7:30 pm based on the number of no shows at the theater. We will call names in the order that they registered on the wait list. Last time, we were able to fit everyone in the theater. This is a wait list, but we’ll do our best.
How about an event like this in London, UK?
Very Good! Thanks.

I am the lip double of Angelina and do all of her lip stunts to ensure her safety.
