Students filled the Bernath Auditorium for the free screening of the blockbuster “Wanted,” an event that helped commemorate Homecoming Week.

For weeks, homecoming at Wayne State had been advertised around campus.


Thousands of signs, promoting several events, could be found at every turn.


One of these “pep” events was a free screening of the movie “Wanted,” held Oct. 8 at Bernath Auditorium in the Undergraduate Library.


Students were excited to see the movie, even if it wasn’t their first viewing of the film.


Preston Reddick, an 18-year-old freshman, may have explained one of the reasons there was such a good turnout.


“Any movie with Angelina Jolie is good, and not having to pay for it makes it even better,” Reddick said.


Some of the people who showed up at the event had not previously planned to be there. Most of them came because a friend invited them.


Julian Sandoval, 18, also a freshman said, “I wasn’t going to come at first, but then one of my friends called and asked me to come down. I wasn’t doing anything else, so I said, ‘What the heck … I might as well.’”


Another student, Ronella Lutchman, 17, admitted she did not know about the event.


“A friend told me about it and asked me if I wanted to go,” said Lutchman. “I showed up a little late, but the movie was really good from what I did see — so it was all worth it.”
