When I saw this headline today I have to say that this did get me very excited as being a massive fan of the Timothy Olyphant "Hitman" film I was a little bit anxious that all news on whether this film was going to get filmed at all had seemed to me to have gone quiet as you may or may not already know that the reboot of this film was one of the many projects that Paul Walker who recently died in a car accident was going to do.
But now according to The Wrap the actor Rupert Friend is currently in talks to replace Paul Walker to star in this film which is now going to be called "Agent 47",- this I hope isn't going to be the only thing about the film that is going to be changed as you may or may not know that stories have already been circulating that the storyline for this film is that Agent 47 is now retired, out of shape and has lost his crown as the best at what he does which is killing people and he now wants this title back, but I think this sounds like a rubbish, storyline and if these talks don't work out and the studio wants to get Timothy Olyphant back as Agent 47 then it'll have to come up with a much better storyline for this movie reboot,-.
Aleksander Bach who is already known for directing adverts is said to be directing this new reboot that 20th Century Fox will distribute using a script written by Skip Woods, Kyle Ward and Michael Finch, with Chuck Gordon, Alex Young and Adrian Askarieh producing and Daniel Alter executive producing.
I just thought that this sounds to me like the studio are trying to give this new film a fresh new approach, so with this new approach to the film I hope that the film will still be as action packed as the last film and that it will be as cleverly written and not just go straight to DVD.
But as these are just talks at the moment we'll just have to wait and see if Rupert Friend who you may or may not have seen in "Pride and Prejudice" (the Keira Knightly version not the Colin Firth version) will actually get the role or not.
