Paul Walker Cast as Agent 47 in ‘Hitman’ Reboot
Fox International Productions has decided to reboot ‘Hitman’, the 2007 live action film based on the Square Enix video game of the same name, with Paul Walker (Fast & the Furious) in the lead role as the bald assassin Agent 47. The new film will be fittingly be called ‘Agent 47’ and highly acclaimed commercials director Aleksander Bach will make his feature film debut.
The first film, starring Timothy Olyphant & Olga Kurylenko, earned almost $100 million worldwide on a modest budget. Skip Woods, writer of ‘Hitman’, is back on board to pen the sequel (odd…) alongside Mike Finch. The film will begin shooting in Berlin & Singapore this summer after Walker completes his worldwide press tour for Fast & Furious 6.
