| Quote: | Here’s a bit of a shocker in the world of video game adaptations. Fox International is going to reboot the Square Enix video game series Hitman as a new movie called Agent 47. Paul Walker will star as the bald assassin of the title, a character last seen in the 2007 film Hitman directed by Xavier Gens with Timothy Olyphant in the lead role.
Agent 47 will be written by Mike Finch and Skip Woods and directed by Aleksander Bach, a commercial director making his feature debut. Oddly enough, Woods also wrote the first movie for Gens and Olyphant. There’s more below.
Deadline broke the news of this reboot, which will shoot in Singapore and Berlin this Summer. As the character is depicted as bald, with a distinctive bar code tattoo on the back of his skull, Walker will shave his head once press is done for Fast and Furious 6.
The Hitman franchise has always had a cinematic vibe, so a rebranded reboot isn’t the biggest surprise here. Nor is the fact that Walker has been cast in the lead. It’s that Skip Woods, writer of this month’s A Good Day To Die Hard and X-Men: Origins Wolverine, is getting another shot at scripting. He already wrote this movie, in 2007. How often does someone get a second chance at an adaptation like this and what does it say about the original work? |
Unknown director, terribad choice for protagonist.. It's a video game adaptation alright!

indeed, i thought he was pretty decent in the role. i mean he wasnt QUITE 47, he didnt have quite the right type of 'coldness' i guess, but i still found him decent in the role...
walker, however, is even further away than elephant was though...
problem with the first movie was that it was kinda boring.
i think they shoulda given elephant another try, but made the script better, get rid of the tag-along chick, and make it more exciting (which doesnt need to directly translate to more explosions  )

I guess if it doesn't work out that well again, they can just reboot it again as they always say, third time's the charm.

A character like 47 does not really need a stellar acting performance, the actor doesn't matter much.

The role needs somebody capable of delivering an understated performance, so Statham is out straight away. Also, Zach Snyder
Fassbender would be perfect, as long as he was paired with a real director (just imagine if Steve McQueen was a gamer ). It does not seem they are going the good route, though. Walker + same scriptwriter + commercial director = retarded herpaderp shit designed to make millions from teenagers with too much pocket money.

This is exactly it, and it's enough of a reason not to want the guy directing anything.
At least for me.
