oh man id love to see that trainwreck

 

[Messi]

I guess because the FOX Producers fucked it up so much. They had to reshoot an entire section because the Producers demanded a fucking sword fight!

But overall I actually kinda enjoyed the movie...

I forgot about the sword fight, so stupid.

 

[Karak]

Stathem or out!

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Should have been the Rock.

My sentiments exactly Raylan. It should have been you again.

 

[Amagon]

Should have been the Rock.

Should have been Ving Rhames

 

[Loxley]

I was tempted to put "Paul Walker, of Meet the Deedles fame" in the OP, but resisted.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Will he be driving cars in this movie? Don't even see him as a plausible Agent 47.

 

[VeryGooster]

Street Fighter

Mortal Kombat

Prince of Persia

Yakuza - Like a Dragon

Everyone should watch Miike's Ryu ga Gotoku film. Majima is just as hilarious in it as he is in the first game.

Can't have a worse and more pointless story than Absolution had. Some day people will learn that shit doesn't belong in the Hitman IP at all.

I look forward to the part where 47 wears a hazmat suit but forgets to wear a mask, or when the villain respawns for no real reason after reloading a check--what was I talking about, again?

 

[DemonNite]

no no no no no

 

[EMT0]

Hasn't Square learned their goddamn lesson yet when it comes to trying to port games into movies?

 

[WX3]

This just about ruined my night right here, this kind of bullshit right here.

 

[SeanNoonan]

I agree.

Should have been Michelle Rodriguez.

Agrée.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Fast and the Furious franchise

That'll be why, I've only seen one (Tokyo Drift I think) and it was awful.

 

[Salsa]

That'll be why, I've only seen one (Tokyo Drift I think) and it was awful.

that's the only one without him

and the worst one by far

 

[Blood Diamonds]

He's pretty hot.
I-I mean... err... yeah.

 

[spanks]

The worst part is the writer.

Firstly, isn't the whole point of a reboot to use new people?
Secondly, it's the guy that wrote such classics as Wolverine and Swordfish.

I dont get the commercial director hate tho

Fincher was one once, remember? countless others too. No idea if this guy directed anything with a bit more freedom like a music video..

then again, this will obviously suck all kinds of balls

The problem is, this is Fox: The reason Alien 3 sucked. They only hire unknown directors so they can push them around and say shit like "there has to be a swordfight".

All signs point to another cashgrab. What a waste of a reboot.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Is this straight to video?

 

[Replicant]

He looks more like a Commander Shepard to me.

oh man id love to see that trainwreck

You two need to shut your dirty whore mouths. NHF that mess.

 

[The Elite]

Paul Walker can be fine. He was good in Running Scared.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'll wait for the reboot of the reboot of the first film.

 

[TheSeks]

no no no no no

It's so awful I laughed at this.

Paul Walker can be fine. He was good in Running Scared.

And he's hammy-fine in the Fast and the Furious series. So really, it's a toss-up. The script writer being the same from the first one is the "NO NO NO NO NO..." part.

 

[saichi]

The first one is not that bad... not great but no awful for me either.

 

[Oersted]

Oh god.

Ridley Scott came from commercials. As a matter of fact, many did. To get this straight, I expect nothing from this movie. Commercial background is just not necessarly bad, thats all.

That'll be why, I've only seen one (Tokyo Drift I think) and it was awful.

Watch the fifth one. Don´t like it? Skip the franchise.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

that's the only one without him

and the worst one by far

Yeah I heard the rest were better but it's not the type of thing I'm really into anyway. This is honestly the first I've ever seen of this guy, the movie will likely be shit anyway so it doesn't really matter who they get for the lead.

 

[EightBitNate]

If he shaved his head and bulked up a little it could work.

 

[fernoca]

Has there EVER been a film reboot not named Silent Hill that's been even halfway decent?

Street Fighter

Mortal Kombat

Prince of Persia

Yakuza - Like a Dragon

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but...
Well, Silent Hill was not a "reboot". I mean, it was a sequel and they even brought back some of the actors to tie both movies together and explained why Sean Bean's character was named Harry Mason now.

Pricne of Persia wasn't a reboot, as there was no previous Prince of Persia movie, same with Yakuza.

The Mortal Kombat reboot is expected to start filming later this year, and detaisl are unknown.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is technically the only reboot..and wasn't decent.

 

[charsace]

Wait, do people think he's a bad actor? He's shown himself to be a good actor when he's not type cast as a bro. I think he has the acting chops to pull of a mencing role.

I still think he would make a good green arrow or batman.

 

[Insane Metal]

WTF. HAhahahahaha

 

[Salsa]

- hey yo 47 you really gonna pop this guy homes? I need to know

- I said forget about it cuuuuh

 

[DrSlek]

NOPE.avi

 

[outsida]

Bwahahahahahah

Spoiler

Can't wait

 

[Qvoth]

the 1st hitman movie was done by raylan from justified????
shits were bricked

 

[Mononoke]

What's up with the bad casting for Agent 47?

I actually feel bad for saying that, because I think Timothy Olyphant is a brilliant actor (see Justified). But he just looked so odd bald, and the material was all wrong for him.

 

[Mononoke]

oh man id love to see that trainwreck

Dat ending.

Inspiring and uplifting.

 

[Dick Justice]

For fucks sake you assholes, get Bateson or Mark Strong.

 

[Foffy]

What in the fuck. Again, no David Bateson? ):

 

[Valnen]

He looks more like a Commander Shepard to me.

If they ever made a live action Mass Effect the sensible thing to do would be to have the actual model they based him on play the role.

But this is Hollywood, they're never smart.

The guy's a model, not an actor. But then Shepard has always come across as about as convincing as a brick wall.

 

[1emons]

Fuck. Yes.

I can't wait to see the next great triumph of Paul Walker's career.

 

[Mononoke]

For fucks sake you assholes, get Bateson or Mark Strong.

Holy shit that second picture is massive. I can see his pores!

 

[KalBalboa]

Has there EVER been a film reboot not named Silent Hill that's been even halfway decent?

... Are you saying the second Silent Hill movie was halfway decent?

 

[Mushroomer25]

God Damn it. It'll be in theaters right along the disaster that will be the Deus Ex movie.

 

[Loxley]

Oh good, now I can count all the hairs on Mark Strong's head.

 

[moolhy]

Why the fuck not Jason Statham? With all the throwaway action movies that guy puts out it's time he played the role he was born to play.

 

[bishoptl]

Olyphant was too good for this series! Only reason he did the film was to pay for his new house after Deadwood got cancelled out from under him.

Interesting, thanks for the link. Didn't know this.

I think Olyphant is a brilliant actor. He's been in some shit movies and played some shit roles, but that's typical of an actor trying to get work in the industry. It's not like he's such a big star, he's rolling in the cash.

But his great work far outshines the shoddy stuff. So I'm always a lot more forgiving to actors like this.

That's still so weird to read.
