The Hitman

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Why not just name it Transporter 3 instead? That's all it would've been if Statham was casted as Agent 47. If anything David Bateson(the voice and the face of 47) should've been hired for the role.

You can't argue with the man who is born for the job.

but to be honest..the Transporter 3 would be better anyway.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Tim Olyphant looks terrible as the Hitman, almost as bad as Vin Diesel. There's nothing menacing to him at all, in fact, looks like a jock from High School who just shaved his head.

The Pretender Dude Would Have Nailed It

Man, that would have been awesome.

Michael T. Weiss is his name.

 

[Nathan]

I've been saying this the entire time. But all I'm getting to hear is that he'd be better suited for a Max Payne Movie.

He would've totally ruled with a bald head.

Why does the hitman um not look like a hitman. He looks like he's trying to give you a hug. They casted a guy who just looks to nice. Oh and yeah the should have got the real hitman guy or the guy from the pretender. Sense he can act really baddass at times.

 

[Symbiotic]

To me, Olyphant looks better than Diesel would have. (He's too muscular.)

 

[Sebastos]

Not a bad trailer.

 

[Symbiotic]

Not a bad trailer.

Agreed.

Some screencaps:

Nah, the teaser didn't do it for me. Great music though. I love Olyphant in Deadwood but he is wrong choice for 47.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I think it'll be fun. Normal people who don't care about the game will have absolutely no problem with him being young. It's just something fans of the game will care about. But it looks like it'll be a good action flick

 

[Mr. Socko]

Are you kidding me? Looks like some kid with a shaved head. Couldn't they do a better job making him bald? Hitman is naturally bald, he doesn't shave. They would have been better off getting Bruce Willis.

 

[ghost_x]

Looks great, I have no real complaints as of yet. I'll reserve judgement on whether Olymphant will pull off the part, till I see him deliver some lines. My only nag at the moment was what Mr Socko rightfully pointed out, 47 was bald, where as the movie character has him with a shaved head.

 

[Sebastos]

^ I agree, I'll wait and see how he acts in the movie before judging.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Cool stills.

 

[ghost_x]

Wouldn't of made it out alive with this kind of reckless killing in the game,

It's all about the disguises baby

Reckless killing is awesome.

Go in, take out all the guards as silently as possible. Then massacre everyone else It's the tops

 

[Mr. Socko]

I hope we wears some cool disguises.

 

[ghost_x]

Occasionally I would just take out my two silvers and attempt to take down every person in the level, but I would rarely make it out alive. That's the beauty of these games, intense strategy and map planning is needed.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I thought the trailer was pretty cool. Loved how they used the orig music. I still have my doubts about Olyphant tho. Im deff gonna check out the movie, but damn im just not sure bout the casting.

 

[Timstuff]

They should have hired Jason Statham.. he would have so Owned this Role, you all know he would have been a better choice.

If it was Jason Statham they might as well have called it The Transporter 3. He already played the suit-wearing double-fisted professional for rent. I think it was wise to choose someone else, because otherwise there wouldn't be enough distance from The Transporter franchise.

Here's the man who does the voice of 47 and his face is used as the prototype model for him as well. His name is David Bateson and he's an acclaimed stage actor and film actor as well. He campaigned strongly for the role and originally lost out to Vin Diesel, who was replaced by Olyphant.

As I said, I truly feel they should've went with Bateson. He has the look, does the voice, and at least looks like someone who is detached from the world and is ruthless.

(Another David Bateson picture)

 

[Warhammer]

After seeing all of that, LastSunrise, I've come to the conclusion that Bateson got screwed.

 

[Mr. Socko]

He definitely should have been Hitman.
