Timothy Olyphant to star in Besson's 'Hitman'

Permanent Link by bootlegga on Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:03 pm

It looks like the rumors that Timothy Olyphant (Live Free or Die Hard) has been cast in the lead role, Agent 47, in the Luc Besson-produced Hitman at 20th Century Fox are correct. Besson is producing via his Europa Corp., along with Chuck Gordon and Adrian Askarieh. Daniel Alter co-produces.

The trade says that Fox sees the film as having franchise potential, and Olyphant's deal allows for sequels. Production is slated to begin in March in Europe. Skip Woods' script is based on the "Hitman" videogame franchise set in the world of Agent 47, a genetically engineered assassin.
