FIRST OFF!

Im gonna go on the defensive for this guy... i mean come on were getting a Hitman movie..be greatful.

Although looking at this first look picture, from what i can tell is that he doesnt look like 47 his face doesnt quiet match that of blood money, Granted that is true, However, rewind a little. First i want you to think about this...

He is smiling in the picture and his expression is very unlike 47, he may be dressed up as him but remember 47 appears emotionless or very sorrow. We may have a different story if we looked at a picture of him with a serious face...

Secondly 47 has gone threw some redesigning over the years, infact i feel he got fatter in contracts and bloodmoney than he did in the first game and silent assisin, If you look at a premotional image for the PC game of Hitman look closely at his face, its different, yet somehow it reminds me of Mr O here as Hitman... they gone back to the routes here.

the only thing that doesnt quiet work is the stubbal from the shaved haired, sadly Mr O is dark haired and when you shave with dark hair you are left with dark stubble, 47 is bold, no stubble.

dunno where the tie came from


Yes, we are getting a Hitman movie, but it is going to suck because we have a bad mainplayer!
Zombie Gigolo
Agreed. Once again

GARY OLDMAN TO PLAY 47!


DuxDucis
The girl with the 'Guys Make Good Pets' T-shirt is yummy.

Plus she looks more liike 47 than Olyphant.


Although yeah, tongue.gif

You would never find an actor (a real frickin actor and not lame bateson) that looks exactly like 47.


Not true: Michael Shannon





That said, I am not hugely dissapointed with TO as 47 from the photos. It's just a quick candid snapshot, he's not entirely "in" character - I'll give him a break. I am fairly happy actually.
wasabi_fandango
IN that picture I noticed he has a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow on top of his head.

.....That needs to go.
KevinKorrupt
David Bateson is the one to play this role, who in the right mind cast Tim? Actually, I would pick Patrick Stewart aka Captain Picard (StarTrekTNG) as a strong second choice.

They didn't choose Bateson because he doesn't have name recognizability as the lead, but Stewart would have at some clout to sell the movie.
KevinKorrupt
By the way, Tim and the cheap costume looks like some cosplay dude at a convention. This is the best they could come up with? IOI is crying in front of their dev kit computers.

anyone think we saw too much of diana in BM?

in SA you saw nothing. in Contracts you saw a glimps of her on the plane.

in BM your getting full-body shots, and semi-shots in every other cut-scene.

and even a pretty clear shot of her face, as show in AlphaX's pic.

plus i dont like seeing the agency's offices. i think it works better if its kept shadowy and secret.


hey, it's a good thing we don't see her face because we wouldn't make critical judgements on her

Diana is not going to be as hard a 47

and that woman off Terminator 3 (fuck i don't know her name)


i don't know.... just my opinion bigsmile.gif

That's Kristanna Loken.
It could be her with dark hair...reminds me kind in the face on the Dianas real refelction. thumbsup03.gif Good find.

All of you of the Hitman Fan Community, have disappointed me. Olympth may not have the exact facial features as Agent 47; however what is that to say that he cannot act?

Sure it's not a perfect replica. However, you got your movie. It's like any movie of a video game, if they don't want to take 6 years making the film. (Final Fantasy Seven: Advent Children). Then they will use the closest they can find, for the best pay and acting skills. As such, you shouldn't be so brutal. As a fan myself, I was slightly disappointed, but I do know that it will be a good movie. I mean IOI designed the games, with their art skills.. So why wouldn't they have the potential to make a movie using him. Hell, for all we know Blood Money version of fourty-seven wasn't the 'FINAL' design. We still haven't hit the completely perfect graphic age. If any new games are released for the game; maybe they will base it around the actor now.

So all in all, stop complaining. Be glad they're actually releasing a movie, and they aren't spending six years making an animated feature that has no plot to it. At-least this will be out in a year or two. If he is a bad actor, oh well, then we know he sucks and not to ever trust them to make another good movie. However, if his acting is completely good, and the movie rocks except for his facial cheek bones and such then we should be happy.

Besides, I doubt you can find anybody who looks almost exactly like 47, if there were any, I doubt they could act. Most bald people don't have that good of a looking face.

Agree...Fiennes looks very convincing sans hair, is the right age, and could bring a definite style to the 47 screen character...he's a very good actor and excels at emotionally-conflicted roles. Oliphant just looks too young and freshfaced.

I can just imagine somebody that went "ZOMG ANGELINA JOLIE IS TEH WERST LARA CROFT!!!11" before the Tomb Raider movies came out... People bitching about this actor being 47 is the same parallel. Ever notice how 47's appearance keeps changing every game?... HMMM..

You're forgetting, he's the villain in the new Die Hard movie. Seems like calculated casting to me. His face will be (at least) familiar to a large group of people when the movie is released.

EDIT: As for the casting... I think a lot of people were kidding themselves if they ever thought Bateson had a chance. He might be a good actor (hard to tell from the clips, if you ask me), and he's a pretty good fit for the part (I don't think he's as bleepin' perfect as some of you seem to think, but he certainly has the face), but studios simply don't give a shit about that.
They need someone for whom you can at least say "He's the dude that was..." and then reference a film and/or tv-series that isn't very obscure.

Personally, I think Olyphant looks a tad bit too young and handsome for the part, but I've seen another picture (not included in this thread) where he's posing with a couple 'a guys in uniforms of some kind (also during filming) where you can clearly tell that he has the right, strong facial features (that for some reason don't come across very well in the pics on here).
As for the whole eye-color thing... it's not a big deal. Quite frankly I'm sort of embarrassed that this is the level of whiny nit-picking the fans of this franchise will go to.
How quickly people seem to forget... we could've had Vin Diesel.
Profess
Surely the film is going to be discussed then so is a number of peoples' disatisfaction at the star.

i think olyphant could look good as 47, but no matter what (for me at least) if he has one line and im not hering batesons voice (or a very close copy) then this wont be Hitman for me.

Oh, come on- he's smiling because of me!!! He is not smiling when he's 47!!
Get real.


What's your problem? Wake up on the wrong side of your Mother this morning? The insult was totally uncalled for. "Get real"? "Get real"?! Are you really such a bloody moron?! Have you just been ignoring my posts in other threads? Posts in which I clearly state that people should not judge this movie or Olyphant so quickly? Hell, I've been DEFENDING him! All I was saying, you vile little man, is that the image of 47 smiling seems wrong and it is a shame that the first picture of him shows Olyphant grinning like a Chessire Cat! It is not a good sign but it is just a photo and I will say this again so that you can understand me - or hey, if you just want to ignore what I say you're more than welcome: Do not judge Olyphant just yet, if you do you are leaving yourself open to the same humiliation suffered by those who decried Daniel Craig as James Bond. Timothy Olypahnt may not look the part but he is an acomplished actor and should, for now, be given the benefit of the doubt. That way you can still criticise him if the movie sucks but enjoy it if it succeeds. Do you get it now? I am actually giving him a chance, I don't need to "Get real" because I am already pretty realistic about this whole affair.


i agree here for sure... cause all these arguments are bs in here... everyones nitpicking about his looks and his fricking HAIR STUBLE lol, i mean come on people get real, olyphant is basically bald thats "close enough" ... but if they had there way it would be pretty much impossible to get the perfect "look" since no one that can act actually looks like 47 and even if they found someone on the planet that was real close to 47 (like someone said) odds are they could not act.

QUOTE(Bloody Money @ May 17 2007, 02:58 PM) *
For the tryouts for the movie they should have made the actors snap a canaries neck. The person that can do it without flinching should play 47.


LOL. good one wink.gif

QUOTE(Bert @ May 18 2007, 04:12 AM) *
It was obvious from the beginning that Bateson wouldn't be playing 47, like Bamboozle says. I can't blame Eidos or IOI. They are both companies who have to make a turnover, and who have employees to pay. With Eidos being in trouble for so long (with them now supposedly doing better as Sci Entertainment took over) and IOI creating such a small amount of games, they can't always represent the fans as they have to save their own asses first. Besides, with Bateson as a leading actor, this movie would have had less viewers since no one knows him anyway. They would have lost money and the project would have failed.

So, imo, get over the fact that Bateson isn't playing 47 already. I think Olyphant can pull it off, and I'll continue to do so until I've seen trailers that show he can't.


another good point.... even though i sorta wish they could have gave bateson a chance... cause his damn voice is perfect wink.gif and even his looks could possibly pull off the part to.... as for his acting i cant really comment much but they could have atleast have em a chance.

i agree here to for the most part... especially about the "being to young" looking... but i think bottom line he should be a solid choice cause im far more concerned with his acting out 47 more than looking like him... cause to me overall he looks "good enough" for the part.

thats a joke right?

---------------------------------------------------

but i guess for me the bottom line is i think olyphant should pull it off nicely and the movie should be a solid movie even if it aint exactly like the game is.... cause im just a fan of contract killer movies in general (huge fan of Leon The Professional (1994) ) ... my main worry about the movie is that possible love interest crap that was mentioned on the main page of this forum not long ago.... i just dont want him to "fall in love" with any girl for sure... i wont mind to much if he gets throw off a little from his work sorta like leon did in the professional but it's gotta be kept to a minimum i guess. but luc besson is in on the film so im expecting it to be good, not as good as leon was but still good.

Anyone else think the guy from the Transporter was a really, really good fit? Sure he is in a similar movie, but still, I think he has the perfect look, for an actor.
Zombie Gigolo
Nope. He can act, unlike TO or Vin Diesel, but he's not a cold-blooded assassin.
Knife Psycho
If you think about it, the movie is going to be shit regardless of who plays 47 due to the fact, and everyone already knows this, its not going to be true at all to the game. When I first heard that there was going to be a movie, i just knew they were going to fuck it over somehow... Heres an idea, all of us that agree on this, just DONT go see it. I know im not.

I'm taking you saying TO can't act as a sign you've never watched Deadwood.

Also, Vin Diesel can act, very well in fact, he0s just been cornered into the brainless action movie genre.

Oh. Statham isn't a cold blooded assassin? well if you want a cold blooded assassin to play 47, we should probably start checking the prisons and death rows for actors to play 47.

Fucking tool.

Also KP: Don't judge the film before it's been made, I'll go and see it just because it's Hitman and I should think more casual cinema goers are more likely to see it if TO is in than if a B class danish voice actor is in it.
Suspicious Bald Man
Seriously guys. Leave the guy alone. It's a damned movie. You haven't seen anything but a few pics of Olympth. That's it. You don't really know how well he could pull it off. So just stop whining and give the movie a chance to come out before you start writing critiques.
the_clone
I think he looks pretty good, just needs the blue eyes and to lose the smile and hes golden. thumbsup03.gif

Also I heard that regardless of who portayed 47 Bateson would be doing a voice over for all the talking scenes, like with darth maul in the phanton menace, was this ever true and if so is it still happening?

Thanks guys thumbsup03.gif
