Movie Media: Hitman - Poster, Trailer

This Fall will see another videogame adapted to the big screen. These translations are a highly iffy proposition. Sure, Mortal Kombat was fun, Silent Hill was creepy, and the Resident Evil series is doing well, but what about Doom, Mortal Kombat II, and Super Mario Bros.? This could prove to be a hardcore action flick, as it centers on an top hitman, known as Agent 47, going out and killing while wearing a snazzy black suit. The trailer looks pretty good, and the poster is downright cool. What could go wrong? Well, the director is a first time feature director named Xavier Gens, so it is unproven talent. Secondly, it stars Timothy Olyphant (Live Free or Die Hard). He does not look right for the part, he looks kind of goofy. All I can think is that Jason Statham was unavailable. If you have seen the Transporter movies, you would see that he was really the only man for the job.
