Agent 47 is no normal human being. Having been born into The Agent Program with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head, he was trained up to be among the greatest hitmen in the world. With astonishing strength, infinite intelligence and the superhuman agility, he is impossible to kill - and ever harder to detain, with his incredible ability to tactically undo any situation in which he finds himself trapped (though that's not a word in this guy's vocabulary). Predictably, he is much desirable as a soldier and there's one organisation that will to everything within their power to understand the genetic engineering of Agent 47 in a bid to form an army to rival all others. Along the way he meets another agent with the same abilities, though she has no idea where she comes from and is desperate to uncover the secrets of her past.
This sensational re-boot of the video game/film franchise 'Hitman' has been directed by Aleksander Bach in his filmmaking debut and written by Michael Finch ('The November Man', 'Predators'), Kyle Ward ('Machete Kills'), and Skip Woods ('A Good Day to Die Hard', 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', 'Swordfish') who wrote the original 2007 movie. With some inspiration from the 2012 video game 'Hitman: Absolution', 'Hitman: Agent 47' is set to be released in UK cinemas on August 28th 2015.
