Rupert Friend is planned to replace Paul Walker as Agent 47 in the second Hitman film. The movie is based on the Hitman video game series, which features a bald assassin known only by his codename since birth, 47. What do you think about Friend being Agent 47?

shareI'm happy for Rupert. It seems his stint on Homeland has opened up new roles for him.
Prior to this, I had never heard of the Hitman video game or movie. When I looked it up on imdb, I noticed that the movie managed to take the most attractive man on television - US Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens - and make him look ugly and creepy. I hope they don't do that to the 2nd most attractive man in television - CIA black ops agent Peter Quinn.
Ok I'm clearly not informed on the whole Hitman franchise - last time I checked Timothy Olyphant was the lead, what happened to that? I really can't picture Walker in that role (neither is it relevant anymore, unfortunately) but Friend could be cool, I imagine he has a better head for no hair to be on.
shareAh, a remake. Right, ok.
