Rappy Veteran Posted February 6, 2013 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2013 Deadline has broken the news that Fox International Productions are moving ahead with a reboot of Hitman. The video game franchise has been a hit for developers Square Enix and while the 2007 movie failed to impress critics, it did make over $100 million at the worldwide box office. Paul Walker, star of The Fast And Furious franchise, has signed up to play 'Agent 47' and shooting is expected to take place in Berlin and Singapore this summer. The title of the film will actually be Agent 47 and commercials director Aleksander Bach will make his feature helming debut with the project. The screenplay was written by A Good Day To Die Hard's Skip Woods and Mike Finch. http://www.comicbook...s/news/?a=73838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think he could get the look down but I don't think he has the voice for it. I'd rather reserve any further judgement until we get more info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I liked the first one, thought Olyphant did a good job, was hoping for a sequel. Grandpa walker can stick to stealing cars with his best mate Vince. And ffs why does everything have to be a reboot. For some reason those 2 numbnuts in Fast and Furious keep getting into the same ****, they don't need a reboot, just do a sequel with a different lead.

HawkMan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Meh, I liked the first one, and despite breaking the "lore" of the game, I don't see any reason to reboot or any such. the only thing important about the franchise is a bald assassin doing awesome stuff and killing people. the rest of the "story" is irrelevant. 47 is the only important part of it.

Kriz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The Hitman films were poor anyway, cant see the remakes being any better without a half decent lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted February 7, 2013 Member Share Posted February 7, 2013 47 doesn't talk that much, hell I think he talked too much in the first movie they did. That just wasn't his character. Exactly. Less talk and more action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted February 7, 2013 Author Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2013 Olga certainly made the original interesting, for some reason I thought all hope was lost when the game appeared in the film :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaleris Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 If it's not Jason Statham playing 47 - I'm not interested. Staring everybody in the face, but they can't make it happen. Shame. LaP and soniqstylz 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaP Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah plus its his kinda role as well, mindless action He actually did more than just action while paired with Guy Ritchie. I really miss the Guy Ritchie / Jason Statham duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
