HITMAN: AGENT 47 Gets a New Trailer and Poster

20th Century Fox released a new trailer and poster for the upcoming Hitman: Agent 47 starring Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, and Thomas Kretschmann. Based on the video game series, Friend plays Agent 47, an engineered assassin whose latest target is a corporation who threatens to uncover the secrets of his organization and create their own army of elite killers.

I like the Hitman story and want this one to be good, but as with any video game adaptation (and the poorly received previous Hitman film) I’m a little cautious.

Hitman: Agent 47 opens in theaters August 21st.

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.
