I just read this article on a movie based on the Hitman games. Meh.
First thing wrong with the movie: Vin Diesel. About the only thing he has in common with 47 is that they’re both bald, and neither is a particularly good actor.
Second thing wrong: Apparently it’s a “testosterone laced action packed thriller while being faithful to its video game origins”. I’m not even sure how this is possible. The Hitman games were never about being action-packed; they were about methodical pacing, being patient, killing as few people as possible, and getting out without being caught. The two paradigms don’t seem to jive.
Anyway, I’m still waiting for the announcement of Thief: The Movie starring Keanu Reeves.
