Fox has released the first trailer for its 28 August 2015 releasing sequel to Hitman. Starring Rupert Friend, Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware, the new movie Hitman: Agent 47 follows a bald elite assassin played by Rupert who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck ‘47’. Directed by Aleksander Bach from a script by Skip Woods and Michael Finch, produced by Charles Gordon, Adrian Askarieh, Alex Young and Skip Woods, Agent 47 is based on the popular video game that focused on a genetically engineered assassin. The reboot will be releasing close to eight years after the first installment in 2007 that starred Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott and Olga Kurylenko. The visual effects for Agent 47 have been provided by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) with the VFX supervisor from ILM, Mark Doney. ILM has been existing since nearly four decades and has worked on films such as Star Wars, Star Trek, E.T., Indiana Jones- Temple of Doom and this year will be involved in Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, Ant-Man and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Talking about the assassin character in the movie, 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. Fox also released a satirical marketing viral video in which Agent 47 kills people from leaking the official video online.
