Fox has released the first trailer for Hitman: Agent 47 because it’s a story that demands to be told twice, though I suppose it will be a little different than the 2007 flop. Different, but better? Eh…
This time Rupert Friend takes on the title role of an elite assassin, genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research  and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.
Set for an August 28 release, the film co-stars Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds and Thomas Kretschmann. Check out the trailer and poster below.
