It's Quinn from Homeland. I'm not sure if they're going for a PG-13 with it or not, though I'm assuming it'll be terrible either way.

It has Zachary Quinto in it so I'm definitely going to see it.

Yeah, they seem to be playing it like Hitman is the Terminator and Quinto is Kyle Reese.

I'm totally okay with this being a dumb schlock video game film, especially if they go full cheeseball with the dialogue, but man the guy they got for 47 just does not look the part. Feels like a weird criticism after the hilarious badness of that trailer, but :shrug:

I love it when a sequel is so bad that they can't get the same lead actor back.

Also, a few pages ago someone implied that Don Jon was good and boy is that not the case.

At least this time around the guy can kinda pull off the look without looking like a thumb with an angry face drawn on it. Movie's still going to be terrible, though.

Honestly, if they wanted to make a good Hitman move, all they need to do is remake John Wick with a bald guy in the lead.

Coincidentally, "a bald guy" appears to be literally the only criterion the casting director used to select the lead actor for either of these movies.

A Hitman movie will never work because the story in Hitman games is the weakest aspect and zero people play the games because of the story. Any Hitman movie will just be "suit-wearing bald guy kills people" with some bland b-movie plot spun around it.

If they made a Hitman movie that actually reflected the main point of the games, it would just be a guy sneaking around and garroting people while wearing a chicken mascot outfit.

Kill a man with an exploding Bible.

Kill an entire hot tub by shooting the glass bottom. Because underneath the tub is a cliff.

Tranquilize an entire suburb with an air rifle. After knocking out FBI agents with drugged donuts. While wearing a clown costume.

These are the things I want to see in a Hitman movie.

If they had a writer/director who could write an imaginative schlock story (like, say, Adam Wingard) and then brought in somebody who can be both menacing and bald (like Tom Hardy), they could very easily make a good movie based on the Hitman franchise. The only thing holding them back is that neither Square-Enix nor any major film studio give enough of a gently caress to collaborate on making something of quality.

You can make a good movie out of anything, the source material doen't matter. Video game movies are poo poo because they bring in a perfect shitstorm of bad writers, bad directors, an incompetent crew and flavor-of-the-moment actors who will appear in anything for a paycheck.

90% of making a passable Hitman movie is the casting. Get someone who looks good as a bald guy in a suit killing people, and you've got a movie. Not a great one, but still something. But somehow they keep failing at that one basic thing.

Never mind that, though. Watch this helicopter explode!

A good Hitman movie would be a reverse John Wick where you don't show the John Wick parts. It's a mob family or crime group desperately trying to figure out who's killing them one by one. Cast someone recognizable as 47 and have him in the background of every other scene disguised.

Movie ends with 47 revealing himself to the boss a la Vince McMahon. Then you have your big action explosion fest.
