Hitman kicks off

Fox has announced that production on the adaptation of popular video game HITMAN has begun this week in Sofia. No the film will not take place solely in the ample cleavage of Sofia Vergara but Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Co-starring in the film with Timothy Olyphant and Dougray Scott are a veritable who’s who of actors. And by who’s who, I mean who??? There’s Olga Kurylenko (OK, she’s pretty hot, Robert Knepper, Ulrich Thomsen, and Michael Offei. According to the official synopsis, the plot goes a little sumpin like this: “Agent 47 (Olyphant) has been educated to become a professional assassin for hire, whose most powerful weapons are his nerve and a resolute pride in his work. 47 is both the last two digits of the barcode tattooed on the nape of his neck, and his only name. The hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover. Both Interpol and the Russian military chase the HITMAN across Eastern Europe as he tries to find out who set him up and why they’re trying to take him out of the game. But the greatest threat to 47’s survival may be the stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a beautiful, damaged girl…” AWWWWW. What a sweetie. No word yet on when HITMAN will hit theaters here in the States.
