Jesus save us all. They destroyed it. The greatest movie concept ever.
New Hitman Trailer (No, not a featurette)

2 things:
1. Jason Statham =/= Hitman. Anyone who says he would be "perfect", then says this looks crap because it has too much action (and other things) is a silly, silly fool. Statham is a good actor (within reason) granted, but a 47 he does not make. Being bald doesn't make you 47. That's why they got rid of Vin Diesel. Olyphant may be baby-faced (in some pics. In some he looks down right menacing) but in my opinion, he's a much better choice than Statham. As much as I like him, I can't picture him as 47. He may be English and Bald, but he's not clean shaven, tall, lean...any of 47's characteristics really. At least Olyphant fills most of them. Bateson...well, maybe.
2. Anyone who bases their judgement on the trailer, ye be warned: It's shite. The script (and therefore hopefully the film) are completely and utterly different. All this "divinity, from God" bollocks...load of crap. Mainly for the American Man-in-the-sky lovers (No offence). I read the script because I didn't want them to mess up Hitman royally. It's not a perfect representation by any means, but I dare say it could be the best video game film yet.
Hope that helps in some way. I'm a full supporter of this film since reading the script and I think it could be excellent.
And anyone worrying about a "love interest"...a syringe is involved before it gets too serious.

How'd you get your hands on that script anyway?
