I thought he was supposed to play Sheppard.


And I could never understand why they didn't hire Stathan for first Hitman

 

[Router]

LOL just reading the wiki for the first movie. Amazingly it's made over 128 million profit. There was supposed tobe a sequel but Olyphant wasn't going to return because "I only did that movie to pay for my new house because Deadwood got cancelled"

Hahahahaha

Jason Statham is like 4ft tall there's only so much you can do with camera tricks and CGI.

 

[bigosc2k]

I want whatever drugs the casting director was on when they chose Paul Walker.

 

[KAP151]

I actually laughed out loud.
Thanks GAF.

 

[Instro]

Has there EVER been a video game(-themed) movie not named Wreck-it Ralph that's been even halfway decent?

I thought the original RE movie was pretty enjoyable, albeit nothing like the games. Same with Silent Hill for that matter.

 

[Haunted]

I'm 47 bro, and I'm here to kill you man.......

:lol

 

[IsntChrisL]

Awesome, it's time for some PG-13 Hitman action starring the greatest actor of our generation. Things will work out much better this time. I can just FEEL it, ya know?

 

[justjim89]

I liked Hitman. A nice little Bourne ripoff with some nods to the games.

 

[BadAss2961]

You shut your whore mouth about my Olyphant.

The guy is a great actor, he was just given a shitty script.

I don't even know who he is, but I do know that he looked AWFUL as 47. Like not even close, and he looked really young too.

 

[fushi]

Paul Walker was great in Running Scared, so I remain optimistic about his performance.

Can't say the same for skip Woods, though.

 

[neorej]

Yes, very wise indeed. Reboot the franchise by kicking the only redeemable factors and keeping the reasons why the movie sucked sweaty donkeyballs in the first place.

 

[Clay Davis]

paul walker? fuck off with that shit.

gah, just bring back olyphant for fuck sake. :/

 

[Pyccko]

Hahahaha, Paul Walker, oh shit ahahahaaaa. "C'Mon, BRO we got some punks to ASSASSINATE! brobrobroBROBRO *vroom*"

 

[Wiktor]

Jason Statham is like 4ft tall there's only so much you can do with camera tricks and CGI.

Considering that 47 is average height I don't see a problem.

 

[glaurung]

My armpits have more acting talent than that douchebag.

...as if I care. Already the previous Hitman movie was a piece of anal refuse.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

The best thing about this movie will be next weeks bombcast.

.

 

[SonicVolcano]

David Bateson is 47.

This is a joke.

Way to ruin a great franchise.

 

[stn]

Just to be positive, I can actually see him looking like 47 if he loses the facial hair as well. Try to imagine it and you might agree with me. I'll reserve judgment once the movie releases.

 

[chogidogs]

Alot has changed.

 

[strafer]

Vin Diesel is the better choice.

 

[Superfrog]

The last cover is embarrassingly bad - original title is "Pressed", and the German distributor had a great idea...

Other than that, Luke Goss made some decent low-budget movies recently. He would be a nice fit for a Hitman movie. Unlike Paul Walker.

 

[trinest]

You know what I would love and get behind.

A Sleeping Dogs movie.

 

[Hargenx]

I'm a little ashamed that I like the first movie...LOL

 

[VE3TRO]

Michael Shannon would have been my first choice. Great actor and would look fantastic bald. He has the perfect face with that slight menacing look.

Goss' ear is too distracting

 

[Velcro Fly]

Paul Walker is so bad.

The Fast and Furious movies are hilarious because he's so bad.

 

[G-Fex]

Next, the Tomb Raider reboot starring Kirsten Stewart

 

[LiK]

Hahahahaha yes

 

[Wiktor]

Next, the Tomb Raider reboot starring Kirsten Stewart

She wouldn't be that bad as rebooted Lara, at least just when it comes to looks alone.

 

[ScOULaris]

A reboot of a game adaptation that only came out in theaters a few years ago and wasn't any good? And it's being written by the same guy who wrote the first one? Starring Paul Walker?

Hollywood... Fuck you.

Sincerely,


ScOULaris

 

[Linconan]

What!?
Don't even joke about something like that.

*knife and wrist on the ready*

 

[G-Fex]

Oh yeah, she'll have to get the moans down but she nailed the exhaling

lol, this is the exact line I always remember

That and "we hoongry"

 

[dralla]

my pockets aint empty cuz

 

[Az]

Oh shit, hope he pulls it off. Don't see it happening though.
Out of all of the great bald actors out there, they pick a surfer dude.

 

[neorej]

Next, the Tomb Raider reboot starring Kirsten Stewart

It's plausible, she has the same emotional range as Lara in the original Tomb Raider game.

 

[waypoetic]

Hahaha! Oh Hollywood..

Not even close.

 

[Gbraga]

Hitman reboot by Ninja Theory incoming

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Rob Schneider is: The Hitman

LOL and he never gets a chance to kill anyone because every time he sneaks up behind a target with his fiber wire ready, Adam Sandler pops out and yells "YOU CAN DUUU IT!".

 

[donkey show]

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

This is going to be laughably bad.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I guess the most obvious choice was too expensive?

 

[LycanXIII]

Oh, far off. xD

And THANK YOU Replicant. He's the most obvious choice. Guy's bald, looks good in a suit and has a permanently pissed off expression.

EDIT:

Yeah, that's the other thing. I don't think Statham's career has hit videogame movie bottom. He might scoff at the idea.

Ummm...

 

[Pachterballs]

tonally, the previous film was el cheapo and looked euro (aka cheap). if they make it a classy version, it could work

Luke Goss is awesome and pretty talented, but stars in the cheapest shit ever. He should fire his dumb agent.

 

[Currygan]

this is going to look like The Transporter but with more money

edit. goddamn cant believe I'm beaten!

 

[ArjanN]

Statham already filled his weekly bald criminal in a black suit movie quota with Parker.

 

[Munin]

So euro = cheap? Are you mentally challenged?

 

[Persona86]

Clean shaved... Yeah, I can see it. I just haven't seen him play anything beyond "laid back Cali bro" which is my only worry. The director should be fine.

I'm still shocked that I hated Hitman so much when it had 2 of my favorite things in the world. Timothy Olyphant and EuropaCorp.

Might be best if he doesn't talk much. Agent 47 doesn't talk much anyway.

Anyway I would hate if they went for Statham, his characters are too much like each other, and he doesn't give me an Agent 47 vibe at all. Just because someones bald, it doesn't mean they are the right person.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Statham already filled his weekly bald criminal in a black suit movie quota with Parker.

We cannot survive without our weekly Statham films. He is truly The Last Action Hero.
