The Hitman Reboot You Didn't Ask For Is Coming

Fox threw darts at a board six years ago and made a Hitman movie based on the supposedly popular video game (If it ain't Nintendo, I know nothing of it... and even then it's still foggy). A pre-Justified Timothy Olyphant starred and it made some coin. Not enough for Tom Rothman to trudge ahead on another one so it languished into nothingness.

But reboots are the rage. It's all the kids talk about at the playground besides how criminally underused Girls is treating Zosia Mamet. Reboots haven't 100% caught on (Movie-goers were initially confused at how Batman Begins wasn't a prequel to Tim Burton's Batman) but they're on their way, and I guess Fox figures why not try it out on the video game movie sub-genre?

A new Hitman restart is underway with a title, to their credit, that might help avoid any upfront "Huh?" from the folks: Agent 47. And they're getting a more recognize actor to shave his head in Paul Walker. He hasn't carried a picture by himself. Fox figures the Fast & Furious popularity is enough (You guys see the Fast 6 trailer and Super Bowl spot? Holy Mother of God is that gonna make bank!)

Filming starts this summer overseas. Don't worry. It'll still probably suck.
