Hardcore Gamer: That’s right, Brian O’Conner himself will be donning a suit and barcode in the Hitman reboot, dubbed Agent 47, set to shoot in Singapore and Berlin this summer.

I love Paul Walker but he does not suit Hitman. He just doesn't have the face that screams "cold blooded killer". Timothy should remain or if they must replace him, get Jason Statham.

Timothy Olyphant was okay, actually i wish they use him for a sequel.

Reibooi4090d ago

Yeah I thought he was pretty good. The movie had other issues none of which were really in his control but he did what he could with the role and he looked the part pretty well(perhaps looked a bit younger then Agent 47 does in the games but that is fine)

they are better off going with a no name person.

It's not like it's Mario where everyone knows what he looks like.

NastyLeftHook04090d ago

aww man, leonardo di caprio would have been better.

jony_dols4090d ago (Edited 4090d ago )

I was sure that Daniel Day Lewis was going to sign on...

British actor Mark Strong ( https://encrypted-tbn3.gsta... ) would have made the perfect 47. It's a pity that 'Fox Productions' is once again aiming for generic action instead of a calculated thriller.

No they should have the guy that was in Freddie Wong's Hitman video

That dude is like spot on.

What was wrong with Timothy Olyphant?

This is really the only videogame movie my wife ever liked and I thought he did a great job as Agent 47. Dam you FOX!

LOGICWINS4090d ago

Dudes a hell of an actor. Great on Justified. Hitmans probably the only videogame based movie my parents actually enjoyed lol.

SamPao4090d ago

Hell yeah I liked him too!

Inception4090d ago

Yeah, i kinda like Timothy too. And Hitman movie still enjoyable to watch. I just a little dissapointed that the script not give Timothy more time to fleshed out Agent 47 character.

RickHiggity4090d ago

Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoyed that movie.

I could see him doing a decent job, but I'd imagine someone with a more intimidating figure and face.

Steadyhndz4090d ago

I was the exact same person, couldn't remember how to spell his last name and was too lazy to Google it at the time :p

Elwenil4090d ago

I always thought Jason Statham would make a perfect Agent 47. I remember when The Transporter movie came out me and a few friends were big into Hitman 2 and I recall the comment being made that it was like "Hitman, the movie" back then just because of all the action.

Steadyhndz4090d ago

No his skin tone is too dark in my opinion, and he's a little too bulky.

How IO turned Hitman around, from Absolution to World of Assassination

When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.

You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.

Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.

Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
