Fox Will Make Another Hitman Movie, This Time With Paul Walker

Remember when we used to kick it, like we used to kick it?

"Mia, I'm a hitman."

GOLD.

Simple, succinct, yet is so evocative and says so much. /sheds a tear of joy

I don't get it.

Bring back TANG!

Not sure about this, but then i think im in the minority who actually didn't mind the first movie.

Why the fuck they continue not casting Jason Statham in this role is beyond me...

As a huge fan of the game series I remember hating the Hitman movie when it came out. I've learned since then to let go and enjoy thing's for what they are. I just recently watched the second and third RE movies and can enjoy them as big dumb fun action flicks. It's also funny that the games have turned into the movies.

Whoa Wow...Wow!

And here I thought there would never be anymore TANG material.

It ain't new TANG material.

As someone who loves the Hitman series, I feel no emotions anymore

I liked the movie and am looking forward to more. It was a fun action movie and taken as just that it didn't disappoint. I just hope the new one focuses more on the stealth kill stuff then a traditional action movie stuff. If you did half the stuff they do in the movie in the game you would be dead. Hitman is all about sneaking in and out of places without being seen and killing the target. Not running into a room blowing everything up and walking out. Having that once to contrast the rest is fine, but the whole movie shouldn't be that.

I love the ending of that TANG. Forgot they always did a little editing to make a funny scene. I miss that stuff.

@MediumDave: You will get no arguments from me. I loved Running Scared.

Not news

This is perfect news. Perfect news.

I'll just say this: Running Scared with Paul Walker is a really goddamn awesome movie where he is really good in it.

"Stop talking." Haha. I miss TANG.

Expect more talk of this throughout this week's live content and next week's edition of the Fast and Furiouscast.

Whoa Wow...Wow!

And here I thought there would never be anymore TANG material.

Sure, why not? Hope it's good.

Interesting

Awww... No Raylan Givens makes me a sad panda bear.

I had legitimately forgotten that movie even existed.

Most important news story of the year. 
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS

Didn't they base the character appearance off the voice actor, who is also a regular actor? Why didn't they just get HIM?

Timothy Olyphant and Paul Walker looks strangely similar, now that I look at them.

Hey man, Paul Walker is alright.

The Hitman movie is underrated, I've watched it at least 10 times.

I love everything.

Sort of great news for those who loved the idea of a Hitman movie, but weren't exactly thrilled with the Hitman movie that actually came out. According to Deadline, Fox is prepping an all new Hitman film, currently titled Agent 47, and already has a new actor attached to play the role of the titular bald-headed, bar-coded superhuman killer.

That actor? Paul Walker.

Yes, the monotone handsome boy of the Fast & Furious film series is reportedly attached to take over for Timothy Olyphant, whose own spin on the monotone killer didn't necessarily leave many fans satisfied. Well, to be fair, a lot about the original Hitman movie left people deeply unsatisfied for a variety of reasons, but Olyphant's ill-fitting casting didn't do anyone favors.

Still, that movie made in the neighborhood of $100 million in worldwide ticket sales, so it's no surprise Fox would be interested in rebooting the franchise. This time, they'll do it with a script from A Good Day to Die Hard scribes Skip Woods and Michael Finch, and the direction of first-timer Aleksander Bach, a "highly-regarded commercials director."

In case you've forgotten what the original Hitman was like, I've embedded our own Ryan Davis' analysis of the film below. When you're watching the clips, just replace Olyphant's face with Walker's vacant stare, and imagine him saying things like "Remember bro how we used to assassinate bros back in the day, bro?" It's fun!
