just stop
Well, we can at least hope it's not as bad this time.
movie's going to be average at best, aka not worth spending :10bux: on
Staring Vin Diesel as...?
They're rebooting a five-year-old movie that had no sequels?
I take it this is just a cash-in on Absolution, then.

ha
snip
I really don't think the actor choice for 47 was well thought out.
I'll remain slightly optimistic.
hitman just seems like the kind of thing that would lend itself well to a film imo
Paul Walker?
I suppose it could be a lot worse but....Paul Walker?
How much you wanna bet that short that FreddieW made a little while back ago will be better than this shit show that will have explosions everywhere, him fucking chicks, slitting throats, dicing bodies with slow mo knife throws, and driving expensive cars everywhere
fuck
That guy looks like he might make a decent 47 but seriously what is the point of this

it could be nic cage

narratively, yes, but IMO the sheer amount of options and different playstyles available in the games couldn't really be "felt" in the film. I bet instead of stealth it'll just be generic bald Paul Walker kills nameless baddies all cool-like.

I lost all hope in movies based off games

and we have freddiew to give us that on the internet for free
They're bringing back the same writer from the old film. No. No. No.
If they make Walker stay in character, aka don't fucking say a word, then maybe it just might be decent. Hell Olliphant or w/e the fuck his name is wasn't a bad Hitman, and the movie was ok if you ignore the love interest bullshit and the holy shit clones swordfighting bullshit
Just get David Bateson to play him

i liked the first film :c
The first Hitman movie was among one of the worst I've seen, barring any movie from MST3K.

you must not have seen many bad movies
it wasn't terrible but it wasn't remarkable either. It was just sort of a thing that occurred.
It just blows my mind that they're not using David Bateson, the fucking voice actor AND who Agent 47 was modelled after, you've got the whole fucking package, he looks the same and has the same voice.
Why can't they hire a bald british guy with a stout man-chin and sharp features? Is that so hard? I know there's gotta be actors out there who could pull off the look. The previous guy looked wayy too boyish, and obviously wasn't British at all. This guy simply doesn't have the features, but I guess I'd need to see him without his hair.

Yeah, in this case the simplest and most logical solution is actually the best.
Fox left in charge of a film? Ugh. I'm already not sold.

We can only hope

What?
Maybe david fincher should direct this movie, with a tone like hitman 3:contracts had, dark and kind of twisted.
for the role...i really dont see paul being hitman, i mean the dudes not a bad actor..but doesnt shine as a good one and doesnt look like him.
Maybe the voice actor..heck, maybe a new actor out of nowhere, i dont know.
Oh wait its FIP. I thought it was 20th Century.
I'll remain optimistic for now.
