Paul Walker, fresh off the heels of proving his acting chops by sitting in cars and sitting in cars even longer, is set to start shooting for Fox International’s Agent 47, a reboot of the Hitman film from back in 2007, after Fast and Furious 6 ends filming. Skip Woods, who wrote the original’s screenplay is back to write and production will start later this June. Fox hopes that the film will do well enough outside the US to merit a franchise.
It’s probably a good time for another Hitman since Square Enix’s Hitman: Absolution game was pretty neat. Would I be willing to sit through one with Paul Walker? Nope, that guy’s got less personality than cardboard. Hey wait, maybe he’s a perfect Agent 47 after all!
