Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.

Agent 47 is a genetically engineered person trained from childhood to be among the greatest assassins on the planet. Nameless, parentless and with virtually nothing to lose, he poses the perfect person to eliminate whoever needs to be eliminated. He's almost impossible to defeat, with agility and co-ordination most acute, a powerful sense of logic and being fiercely strong; this is a man that no ordinary person can kill or - indeed - capture. His unique abilities become a target for a massive corporation hellbent on forming the most powerful army in the world, by unlocking the genetic code of Agent 47 - and the other Agents if they can find them. When they discover a woman with little knowledge of her past and ignorant of her superhuman powers, they think they've hit the jackpot. But Agent 47 has jumped into action to protect his kind, and help her unveil her genetic secrets.

A re-working of the original game and film franchise, 'Hitman: Agent 47' is 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') - writer of the 2007 movie. Partly inspired by the 2012 video game 'Hitman: Absolution', the film will be released in UK cinemas on August 27th 2015.
