HITMAN: AGENT 47 Trailer Starring Rupert Friend and Zachary Quinto
This is the first trailer for the action-packed extravaganza Hitman: Agent 47. The movie is based on the popular video game franchise, and it looks like a ridiculously over-the-top flick. It stars Rupert Friend (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Into Darkness), and I'm sure it will deliver some entertainment, but I don't think the movie looks very good. it has a very mediocre feel to it, but I'll probably go see it regardless. My expectations have been set very low, so maybe it will exceed them. I'm surprised that Quinto did this, especially because he seems to be very picky about the projects he does these days. This movie isn't going to do him any favors career-wise.
HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.
The movie was directed by Aleksander Bach, and it's set to be released on August 28th.
