[Wario64]

TOo chunky. Any actor can shave their head.

 

[Striek]

Hes not much of an actor :/

Vin Diesel created the Dreamcast so that he could destroy it.

Good point about Vin being too muscular about this movie. Agent 47 was created to blend in the crowd, he wasnt bigger than the average man

 

[boutrosinit]

Well it's about selling the idea to the studio and Vin was an easy sell.

Thankfully, I know the producer and he's a good guy. Knows his games. He produced that one with Elisha Cuthbert. That 'I live next to a porn star' movie. I only have respect for such a man.

As for alternatives to play Agent 47 who'd be an easy sell to a studio, who would you suggest? Seriously. I'm stumped.

Maybe if Tom Cruise was tall and shaved his head?
Caspar Van Dein with a shaved head may look the part (Agent 47 had an aryan look about him), but he's not an easy sell.
Ideas?

Well if Vin lost some of his bulk, and looked more perhaps like her did in Saving Private Ryan it might work.


Cheers,

I'm not sure about the casting choice, but I'm not totally against it, either. A Hitman movie could seriously rock if done proper.

 

[Tenacious-V]

boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does not suit part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Odnetnin]

who do you think looks like that.

I'd be happy with Brad Pitt or Colin Farrell


* ps Cruise already played a assassin in Collateral.

 

[Tenacious-V]

 

[Odnetnin]

AWESOME. haha.

 

[boutrosinit]

GENIUS!

 

[captainbiotch]

I'd want Jason Statham to play the part.

 

[boutrosinit]

I'd want Jason Statham to play the part.

He's too mean looking. You need someone who has less of a frown when their face is at default I reckon. Vin's face seems neutral. Statham looks like he still wants to kill someone. Agent 47 is a very cold and unemotional person if I remember correctly. Very little hate within him (though I didn't play Hitman 3).

 

[Tenacious-V]

But in all seriousness, J. Allard aside...I can see Ed Norton playing Hitman. Of course in his American History X badassness though. No other way.

[shpankey]

Side note: Vin gets 10 million a movie now.

 

[Ash Housewares]

wonderful, simply not enough movies about assassins...

 

[Shompola]

Bruce Willis

 

[Prospero]

It's not just the bald head that's important, but the semi-aristocratic voice with the slightly-but-not-quite-British accent. I can't see Diesel pulling that off, but I don't know who could.

Yul Brynner

Well, provided that we can produce a clone based on his corpse.
