Hitman (Remake)

Statham was to busy during the time Hitman was being made

Joseph Gordon-Levitt can play an alpha male type. I mean, yeah if you have only seen is more rom-com kind of films then you havent really seen him in the light of a strong actor.

But check out G.I.Joe rise of cobra, Inception, Killshot, You will see he can play a range of characters.

And if you want chip-on-his-shoulder-type character, watch Brick. However, a problem with JGL is that he looks far too 'boyish' to be 47.

Why wasn't he cast in the first place? It's a pitch perfect role.
Instead we have a baby faced fellow who looks like he has barely left high-school.

Though to be fair, Timothy Olyphant looks considerably more intimidating with hair on; as seen in Justified. That, or he's aged a lot in the last couple years.

It's the hat.

And yeah, Levitt is pretty cool but I can't see him portraying 47 lol. Olyphant didn't get the role down either.

I think he sent in an audition tape and they passed saying he was too old or something. ugh.

He would of been too old. They need someone they can invest in

Also... i feel if Hitman was ever to be a trilogy

They should follow more towards the game stories

as in Hitman 1 - basied on agent 47 and contracts game
Hitman 2 based on silent assasin
3rd movie based on blood money

interesting... i like it

As much as I love Joseph Gordon Levitt, he's not a character actor nor is he the alpha-male type. He's wrong for Agent 47, sorry.

Your right
