The popular video game HITMAN has already seen one big screen adaptation in 2007, which starred Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47. The film was a modest box office success, but most complained it lacked significant action. The sequel… er… reboot, definitely ramps up the intensity levels. Aleksander Bach is the director on this one, and the cast includes Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, and Thomas Kretschmann. Check out the newest HITMAN: AGENT 47 trailer below and poster above, and let us know your thoughts in the comments… personally, I think it looks pretty cool.
HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.
