Timothy Olyphant is Hitman-Agent 47
Timothy Olyphant is Hitman Agent 47
Wether he is seeping pent up rage through gritted teeth as Sherriff Bullock in Deadwood or quoting The Breakfast Club playing drug dealer Todd Gaines in Go Timothy Olyphant has undeniable presence.
Understated cool, there is an independence in his style that makes John Doe pay attention. Over at Chud.com they have the first shots of the man as Agent 47 in the big screen adaptation of the video game Hitman.
The film is the story of a deadly assassin that gets double crossed by his superiors and is relentlessly hunted throughout Europe, pursued by his ilk with orders to kill. Dougray Scott (Ripley's Game, Enigma) co stars as the operative who wants to keep him alive.

JD recently did a post on how cool some of the movie to video-game adaptations can be and how shamefully hollow video game to film recreations inevitably become. So it is doubtful this will be any different.
Written by Skip Woods (Swordfish), the guy who penned the under seen black comedy Thursday starring Aaron Eckhart, whispers from the underground indicate the screenplay has potential. So who knows, I hope Johnny’s wrong.
The angry man will next be seen as the villain in Die Hard 4:Live Free or Die Hard or 4.0 or 4.3 I don’t know.

Hi Jonathon,
I totally forgot he was in the remake of Gone In 60 Seconds, hated the movie but he was cool in it.
Hi Nick,
Deadwood is his finest moment for sure. Have you seen him in GO? He dominates in the part.

It is amazing the difference hair can make, Im sure it will help him with getting into character each morning.

Now so long as they keep this from turning into typical hollywood action fare and focus on making it more thrilling it should be really good.

I never have high hopes for a video game to film adaptation. I played the first one on PC and loved it.
I dig Olyphant and think he will be good in the role, the rest???
Its directed by the guy who did The Transporter, which makes me doubt it will be come together well.
The movie Thursday, written by the same guy is pretty cool though
meh, theres still a chance (you never know).

Have you watched Deadwood, Olyphant's features become more gaut the grumpier he gets. Plus few internalize rage with such grace.
