Paul Walker Is The Next Hitman!

Earlier yesterday morning, it was announced out of the blue that "Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker had been cast as the new rebooted version of Agent 47 in 20th Century Fox's "Hitman" reboot, titled simply "AGENT 47". "A Good Day To Die Hard" writer Skip Woods has been signed on to pen the script. Aleksander Bach has signed on to direct the planned reboot. It's been teased that the films will be a lot more bloody and brutal than the 2007 original live-action adaption, which starred Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47.
This is pretty cool that a new "Hitman" film is being made, but I really wanted to see Olyphant return to the role though. He was the only thing that was good about the 2007 film.

Hitman's Next Target Is Dunder Mifflin!

Timothy Olyphant is set to take on the role of a villainess type boss in the new series of "The Office". He will appear in a total of 2 episodes. Not much, but it's still cool to see him in a comedy atmosphere. He could be in more, but that's all that's revealed right now.

"Hitman" Sequel Get's It's Director..........

It's been reported that Fox has signed Spanish director, Daniel Benmayor to direct the "Hitman" sequel which is scheduled for a possibly 2011 release. The sequel is under the title of, "Hitman 2".

Adrian Askarieh, Alex Young and Chuck Gordon are producing the sequel, and Daniel Alter is executive producer. Kyle Ward wrote the script which includes elements from the fifth "Hitman" game.

It's been rumored that Timothy Olyphant may or may not return for the sequel. We'll just have to see. I think he'll return, but I'm not sure also. Before the sequel was announced, it was reported that Fox were gonna reboot it instead with a new actor, seeing as the first film was universaly panned by the critics and didn't do well in the box-office. The new actor would have most likely Vin Diesel, who was the original actor for the role of Agent 47 for the film back in 2007.
