New Hitman Trailer

New Hitman Trailer

There’s a new trailer for the upcoming video game-based movie Hitman.

This new trailer actually gives a bit more information about the story in addition to the scenes of people being executed by the lead character “47,” and tons of artsy shots in slow motion. And the lead character actually talks in this trailer. Not much, but hey, it’s something.
After watching this trailer, if it hadn’t been based on a video game I would swear they took the idea from the Bourne series. Of course the books have been around for a while, so maybe they did get the idea from the Ludlum novels. Any way, the trailer follows after the jump.

Hitman Backstory In 5 Minutes

Hitman Backstory In 5 Minutes

If like me, you don’t know anything about the backstory of the lead character in Hitman then this is for you.

Below you will find two short comic book-style animated clips which give the background of “47,” the mysterious genetically engineered assassin who is the star of the upcoming film based on a popular video game.

Hitman hasn’t been without it’s share of controversy: The original director was supposedly fired from the film only a couple of months before it’s release date and then there was a rumor that Fox was trying to scrub the movie down to a PG-13 rating from it’s original R. The studio denied the PG-13 story but apparently director Xavier Gens was booted from the director’s chair.

Fox Sanitizes Another Movie: Hitman

Fox Sanitizes Another Movie: Hitman

[UPDATE: According to IGN.com Fox is denying that they're cutting the film down to a PG-13.] (Thanks to Jedisprite for the update!)

Can someone please explain to me why in the heck a studio greenlights a movie based on a hyper-violent video game and then wants all explicit violence removed?

Ok. Fine. Yes, I know why: the anticipation of bigger box office and more money.

Hitman, the upcoming film based on a video game (not a concept I get excited about) is set to open in less than a month and a half. Despite this, it has been taken away from director Xavier Gens, who has reportedly created a very violent and bloody film which would match the tone of the video game and have turned it over to Nicolas De Toth for re-cutting and editing.

Big deal, you say? Who the heck is De Toth and why should you care?
