Last week we brought you an exclusive look at the titular Agent 47 from the upcoming HITMAN: AGENT 47. This marks the second stab at bringing the video game character of the same name to life, with Rupert Friend now portraying the man with little hair and a lot of dead bodies to his name. Another huge difference this time around will be that of Katia Van Dees (Hannah Ware). Playing against type for a movie of this kind, Katie has her own journey to travel alongside Agent 47 and this featurette gives you an idea of who she is and what she’s capable of.
The damsel in distress has been done to death, so it’s nice to see Ware play someone who’s very much going through a BOURNE IDENTITY of sorts. Couple that with the mission Agent 47 is on and you have a little more meat than your standard action fare. Video game adaptations traditionally don’t capitalize on their source material, but it looks like the writers weren’t afraid to have some fun with the Hitman premise. Here’s hoping that translates into some quality entertainment come this time next month.
