All he needs to do is not talk and act badass.
Jason Statham barely talks and is more badass than 99% of people in movies these days. And he is one of the most physically capable actors.
He would be the perfect Hitman.
Exactly what I was trying to say.
His expression and vibe is totally wrong, even if he doesn't talk. Were talking about Agent 47 here, not some random hitman movie.
No what we need is someone under the radar that not many people know about. New blood.
Let me answer your question with a new question.
Have they made an animated Deus Ex film yet?

Isn't Jason Stathan the real world 47? That's the impression i got after the first Transporter.

Horrible casting. Also The writer from X-Men Origins? The dude who decided to take the biggest chatterbox in comics (his main selling point) and make him mute?
Fucking fail.
No need for contacts, agent 47 has blue eyes too, also Agent 47 is always clean shaven.

Who seriously thought he'd be a good choice? Then again, who thought making another Hitman movie was a good idea?

They could use Ridick also.

Jason Statham is the perfect human being.
He can act.
He is the best looking man of all-time.
He has the perfect body.
He has the perfect voice.
And he has my heart.
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.
He'd be my 2nd choice after Statham.

The true bro bump.
Anyway I believe filming should start soon, though I wonder if fast 7 will interfere with shooting for it.

You guys thought Timothy Olyphant was bad casting for the agent? We'll show you!
Now a Red Dead Redemption film on the other hand...

Olyphant was actually perfect as Agent 47. The film had plenty of notable flaws but Olyphant wasn't one of them.

I might be the only one, but I can see Paul Walker doing a good job as Agent 47. At least better than Timothy Olyphant.
Am I the only one that could see his potential from his movies Bobby Z and Running Scared?

FUCK even Olyphant was a better choice
And certainly not Olga's boobs.
Hard to argue with that.
SWISH.

I agree, he played the character well.

He IS Hitman; he's so close to playing him in too many movies. It would've been like Orlando Bloom playing Link at some point - too easy. I guess some casting directors like (cheap) challenges.
I'll agree with this. Olyphant did much better than I thought he would in the role.
I have to concur. Can't laugh that hard cause I'm at work though.
Sad how I can almost take an random Statham movie, re-title it Agent 47, and can guarantee it'll be better than the actual one. Unless Paul has a range he's been hiding up until now, he'd better not talk.
