Jun 26 2007Hitman Teaser Trailer
I appreciate that they've thrown some choral music over the new trailer for Hitman to dull the blow of stupidity, but I can still tell it's retarded. Just like church.

Even if his movie turns out worse then my motor oil scrambled mushrooms, Olyphant is gonna make it cool as s hit.
Deadwood anyone?

Well... the method used to create the trailer, sucked.
It mimicked the game's introduction, we'll see how it holds up. but last time i played the game, i remember the guy not looking like a gangly sissy... but that's me.
I would've prefered the lead with someone like, mmm I don't know this

Everyone seems to be forgetting that this is a movie based off of a video game. Name one that hasn't sucked, aside from the groundbreaking gritty realism of 1993's Super Mario Bros. Oscar! Oscar!

The only person I can think of that could pull this of would be Jason Statham.

exactly what I was going to say, JK. They so are ruining this crap. #1, obviously you missed the premise of the game if you think this looks awesome....for the love of christ, you try to NOT be noticed. Now, how the fuck is no one supposed to know you are there if you are blowing shit up? And when did the Hitman start hitting on chicks? WTF, this movie is going to be horse shit. Nuff said.
Oh, and that guy looks like a total douche. He kinda looks like the brother from Carissa Explains it All with no hair.

this would be 100 times better if they gave him a different wig for every scene

Of course we were all thinking Jason Statham. He'd be the obvious/smart choice.
Another obvious choice would be Patrick Stewart.
I think they need someone older and possibly unknown for this role.
I noticed the scene with the girl in the hotel room and I'm not entirly convinced he didn't look completely uninterested in what she was doing.
But again. Video game movie. They're always going to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But that's fine. I've been more moved by some super nintendo games than most movies.

Having played every Hitman game through to completion (though I haven't gotten Silent Assassin on every one), I think this looks pretty spot on. There are quite a few levels that require blowing shit up, and besides, sometimes a big explosion over there can help you silently kill someone over here. Besides, it's a movie, not the game. Watching someone play a game is really, really boring, so they're trying to get some of the excitement of playing into a medium where you can only watch. I really like Tim Olyphant and I think he'll do great, just as long as he can get something similar to the voice and the accent of 47. I'm really, really looking forward to this one.

Oh, and as much as I like Jason Statham, I couldn't see him as the remorseless assassin. Every one of his movies requires him to be the big softy, the guy who seems really, really tough and manly but really empathizes with people (one of my favorite traits about him), and this one requires a complete lack of sympathy. Compare what would happen if Agent 47 was The Transporter. He'd have left the girl in the trunk without a moments hesitation because it wasn't his job to look, and I couldn't see Jason Statham doing that.
