Killers Collide In The Final Trailer For HITMAN: AGENT 47

Director Aleksander Bach is still very much a busy guy with another film on the way, so his latest directorial debut in the live-action game adaptation, Hitman: Agent 47 already looks like an amazing start to a fruitful career in theatrical filmmaking. Moreover, I'll be the first to admit I'm all for seeing this when it comes out in the next few weeks if I can help it, particularly since I love spectacular game adaptations with a fighting element.

Homeland actor Rupert Friend leads the cast here with an seemingly impeccable approach to the character along with actress Hannah Ware and actor Zachary Quinto thickening the plot just a tad. This, in addition to some kick ass fight coordination by Jonathan Eusebio who did the same for last year's action blast, John Wick, makes Hitman: Agent 47 just fine by me and well worth the price of a ticket.

SYNOPSIS:

HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin 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. 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.

The final trailer is making the rounds this week. Kindly catch it below!

Chris Pine And Zachary Quinto Confirmed For A Fourth STAR TREK Film

Star Trek: Beyond is reportedly revving up production this week in Canada and the word now is that lead actors Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have signed onto a fourth film, according to THR. Both, who respectively reprise the roles of James T. Kirk and Vulcan-born Spock, were reportedly optioned a fourth movie as the result of concessions made by Paramount when the intial 7-year deal in 2007 prior to the two appearing in J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot, Star Trek, expired last year as development on the upcoming third film languished.

As a result, compromises were made to help stave off settling anything in court, which, incidentally, allowed not only for a bigger pay for both actors, but the additional attachment of a fourth film which essentially confirms a fourth Star Trek is now in order. The third, to be directed by Fast And Furious franchise helmer Justin Lin, with a script by co-star, actor Simon Pegg and co-scribe Doug Jung which forsees our crew of the USS Enterprise well underway in their 5-year mission into deep space. Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Anton Yelchin, also round out much of the cast with expected appearances by Idris Elba and Kingsman actress Sofia Boutella.

The course is set for a July 8 release next year. Energize!

The New Trailer For HITMAN: AGENT 47 Takes Dead Aim!

Before the previous couple of years, it might have been easy to believe that actor Timothy Olyphant's title role in director Xavier Gens's 2007 cinematic incarnation of the popular Square Enix game, Hitman, would have been enough for a continuation; I certainly know I like it, and was always curious to see what would come of it.

Alas, 20th Century Fox has since taken initiative to reinvigorate the franchise with a new film and a new actor, now starring Rupert Friend (in place of late actor Paul Walker who was announced for the role in early 2013) in Aleksander Bach's new theatrical film adaptation, Hitman: Agent 47. With a date now set for August 28, 2015, the latest trailer serves quite the explosive feat that could top its predecessor. Of course, the question is, will it?
