‘Hitman: Agent 47’ Kills It In This New Trailer

OH Hitman! Hitman, Hitman, Hitman, Hitman. Oh, Hitman. What an interesting series of events that lead us to here, and this trailer.

Hitman: Agent 47 is a “remake?” of sorts, of the 2007 film Hitman. That film, starring Timothy Olyphant, wasn’t even close to a critical success (but still a damn fun film to watch). They had such high hopes for it though! Sequels were planned and quickly crushed as the movie came and went out of theaters, even though Ebert gave it a 3/4 Star review!

Then way way back in 2013, Fox made a big old announcement that they were going to REMAKE the film and have Paul Walker star as the titular Hitman. Sadly later that year Paul Walker passed away in a car accident, and shortly thereafter Rupert Friend was attached to the film as the bald assassin. Not much else was said about the film, UNTIL NOW!

To be honest? I have no idea what to expect from this trailer. Is 47 a good guy or a bad guy? Is Zachary Quinto’s acting going to be that stale through the WHOLE film? Are the visual effects going to be improved? Why were there so many god damned blue sedans on that street? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

I will always support a video game film, even if I know it’s going to be garbage. So I’ll probably see it some lazy Saturday matinee with a flask in my pocket.

Hitman: Agent 47 is set to hit theaters August 28, 2015.
