New trailer is out for the movie. Rupert Friend looks to be a better fit for 47, but it looks like another generic action movie. Hitman as a series has a lot of fodder for an interesting film premise, but why do that when you can just turn 47 into Jason Bourne? At the very least I suppose he uses disguises, and hopefully there are no absurd secret assassin cult swords like in the last movie.
I had an idea for a Hitman TV series:
It's like a reverse Columbo; a Howhedunnit rather than a Whodunnit. 47 recieves his target at the beginning, but the rest of the episode follows a story involving them rather than 47. We see their lives, the people in it, why they deserve or don't deserve to be whacked etc. You could have all sorts of genres for the story (barring the really unrealistic ones). The thing is, they're always in a position that'd be difficult for them to get whacked, so we're always thinking "how's he going to do it?"
Then, right at a point you aren't expecting, the hit happens and the target is dead. Very quick, very sudden. The writers could really play with it. We also get to see the fallout of each hit.
Afterwards a cop, one who knows who 47 is and has been hunting him, turns up. In a classic Whodunnit style denouement (with flashbacks) we are shown how 47 pulled it off and escaped. No one believes him, of course.
Next episode.
If you watch the episode again, you can see 47 in disguise or in the background setting up the hit. Clever little hints, nothing intrusive.
I got too much time on my hands, don't I? XD
