Hitting theaters on August 28th is the reboot of 2007’s Hitman, a live action film adaptation of the hit video game, which will be titled Hitman: Agent 47.
The late Paul Walker was previously set to star as Agent 47, but due to his untimely passing, Rupert Friend (Homeland) took over as the film’s lead. Agent 47 also stars Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), Hannah Ware and Thomas Kretschmann.
Making his big screen directing debut will be Aleksander Bach, who was hired based on his commercials (see his work here). Skip Woods (A Good Day to Die Hard) and Michael Finch (Predators) are writing the screenplay.
