First pictures from the set of Hitman film

Here are two pictures showing how Agent 37 will look on the big screen when being played by actor Timothy Olyphant, who is best known as Sheriff Seth Bullock on the TV series Deadwood.

Unlike the TV show here Olyphant is minus his moustache, and in fact any other hair, in keeping with the bald look of the main character in the games.

Of the pictures, Destructoid say that, "he is not only significantly happier looking than he should be, but also quite a bit younger than you'd expect."

i think they should have got an actor just a little bit older

this looks crappy !

Let's hope that make-up folks will make the guy look older ( ie : Brad Pitt in Babel ).

Haha, he does indeed look to happy and young! Like he's borrowed his Dad's suit for a school dance or something.

He is a little young for the part, but if anyone has seen Deadwood, he's a great actor. Those pictures are obviously taken on set, so nobody can say he won't be emotionless in the film. I'm willing to give it a chance, but with the track record game to movie adaptions have, I'm not holding my breath.

Jason Statham looks much more serious than this guy. Jason should be Hitman Agent 47, just look at his movies and you will see what I am talking about. I am a bit skeptical about this guy, seems a bit too happy to play Agent 47. Hollywood made the same mistake with George Clooney as Batman in "Batman and Robin" which is the worst Batman movie ever created. Watch this great action scene from Transporter 2 and look at the pictures.

Hopefully he won't have that cute smile on his face in the movie, he looks like a nice guy.

And if he's young means that they may have a lot of sequels in the future with the same actor(if it becomes a success and worth doing).

Man I really liked this guy Timothy Olyphant when he was in Deadwood <great series on HBO>. I am just not sold on these pictures for him to portray agent 47. I guess the trailer should be a testament of whether this will be worth seeing in the theater. By the way, Timothy can play a mean SOB just watch Deadwood and see what I am saying.

What a dork. What's this, "Hitman: Codename O.C."?

Statham would have been better if he was actually tall.

Vin Diesel is too big, and not white.

They should have used a no-name/low-name actor.
