HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck.

His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own.

Watch The First Clip From ‘Agent 47’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Alright, as not good as 2007’s Hitman was, this year’s reboot looks pretty bad-ass, and as neat as it would have been to see Paul Walker in the role of Agent 47, Rupert Friend looks like he’s killing it.

Fox has just debuted the first clip for the upcoming film via EW, and it’s an action-packed scene that really excites me for the upcoming release (and for Friend’s performance).

Could Agent 47 be the first good video game movie we’ve seen in years? I guess we’ll find out in a few weeks!

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Agent 47 hits theatres on August 21st!

‘Agent 47’ Gets An Action-Packed New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Alright, as not good as 2007’s Hitman was, this year’s reboot looks pretty bad-ass, and as neat as it would have been to see Paul Walker in the role of Agent 47, Rupert Friend looks like he’s killing it.

Fox has just debuted a new trailer for the film, riding on the coattails of last week’s Hitman E3 announcement, and it’s filled with action-packed new footage that actually really excites me for the August release.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Agent 47 hits theatres on August 21st!

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

by Shane O'Hare

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.

New ‘Agent 47’ Image Compares The Video Game’s Star To Rupert Friend!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the debut of the film’s bad-ass first trailer at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con (read the recap here, as the trailer hasn’t been officially released yet), 20th Century Fox has debuted a new image that compares Agent 47 star Rupert Friend to Agent 47 from the celebrated video game series (of which I’m definitely celebrating Hitman: Go right now..

It’s a great image that shows just how much care went into casting the character (or recasting, as Friend obtained the role after the tragic passing of Paul Walker back in November).

In any case, Friend looks great, the trailer featured some very cool action, and I really can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think. Agent 47 blows its way into theatres on February 27th, 2015.
