Jespyr Kyd deserves his first shot at scoring films with this. His music is as much a character in those Hitman games as anything else. LINK HERE:
^^ There is a link there, folks. ;) I don't know this actor at all. I hope he's good for it. Shave the head bald, toughen him up a bit, see if he can do that faint trace of an accent that Agent 47 has? We'll see... |

Jason Statham would've been perfect for that role. With that said, from what I've seen of Timothy, he's pretty good. It did a great job as Hollywood Jack in A Man Apart, and he was great in The Girl Next Door. Neither character is anywhere close to Agent 47 though. I'm sure he'll play it fine though, but still there had to be better choices that "fit" the role more than he does. |

Statham was my first choice as well. You watch him in those two Transporter films and think about him clean shaven, clean bald head, in a suit, slightly refined accent, and tell me he isn't perfect. Hopefully this Oliphant guy will do well enough...hell, hopefully the movie doesn't suck. |
