June 15, 200520 yr Source: Variety Vin Diesel will star as Agent 47 in 20th Century Fox's upcoming adaptation of Hitman, the best-selling video game franchise from Eidos and developer IO Interactive. Diesel also will serve as executive producer. Charles Gordon and Adrian Askarieh are producing through their respective companies, Daybreak Productions and Prime Universe Productions. Daniel Alter will co-produce. The game's story centers on an international assassin known as Agent 47 who works for a mysterious organization dubbed the Agency. The first three games in the franchise have sold more than 10 million units. Eidos plans to release another sequel, "Hitman: Blood Money," this fall. "'Hitman' is a project that by the virtue of its DNA can and will reach far beyond its already substantial core audience," Askarieh said. "The canvas on which this adventure takes place is something that movie audiences have embraced for the last 40 years. We obviously are delighted to have Vin Diesel on board, too -- he and Agent 47 are a match made in heaven."
June 15, 200520 yr read this earlier today, this might be good, or just plain terrible as are all games to movies/vin diesel films.
June 15, 200520 yr Uh-oh. Vin Diesel is trying to make a name for himself again...time to bring in Arnold... AHEHHA! THE AUIR! IS SO HEAVY!
June 15, 200520 yr read this earlier today, this might be good, or just plain terrible as are all games to movies/vin diesel films. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's Vin Diesel.

June 15, 200520 yr I hate arnold, this should be good as I can't see how watching vin kill people could be bad...*remembers aliens vs predator*...I hope. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
June 15, 200520 yr Vin's a good 2nd choice. Jason Statham would have been better. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
June 15, 200520 yr Vin's a good 2nd choice. Jason Statham would have been better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactamundo. Gary Coleman would be my third choice.
June 15, 200520 yr Stallone is making Rambo 4 (actually, technically the numbering is First Blood 4: Rambo 3, but nobody seems too worried). He is writing, directing and starring in it at the age of 58. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
June 15, 200520 yr Is this likely to be a movie that calls for good acting? I'm not saying Vin Diesel can't act - but I don't think it's long until this kind of movie has a computer-generated lead. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

He is writing, directing and starring in it at the age of 58. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The First Blood/Rambo thing bothers me, just like Jedi Knight 2 shoulda been Dark Forces 3.
June 16, 200520 yr The First Blood/Rambo thing bothers me, just like Jedi Knight 2 shoulda been Dark Forces 3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are, sadly, in the minority. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

It should have been Police Quest 9. ^_^
June 16, 200520 yr Actually I think SWAT counts as a spin-off series. The genre was a bit different, and gameplay greatly changed. Where as First Blood/Rambo movies are direct sequels, and the same with Dark Forces/Jedi Knight.
June 16, 200520 yr There's another Dirty Happy being made, too ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
June 16, 200520 yr Dirty Harry rather? Unless Dirty Happy is an adult film series I don't know about, like Meat Wallet 2: Fisting Full of Dollars?
June 16, 200520 yr Freudian slip OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
June 16, 200520 yr Author There's another Dirty Happy being made, too ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does it involve bukkake?
June 16, 200520 yr You're s<bleep>t outa tissues, punk! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
June 16, 200520 yr Swell. Marvelous. (I know they are technically in reverse order of Magnum Force, but I thought more meaning was conveyed in this order. Think about it. Thant's IT!) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
June 16, 200520 yr Well, if it means it's being made, it's fine by me. It still has the potential to be a good action flick. And it's not like it'll be an extremely draining performance for Vin since good ol' 47 wasn't exactly what we would call... expressive. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
June 16, 200520 yr I had absolutely no respect for Vin Diesel (only seen Pitch Black and xXx, which were both crap) until I played the game The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Now I think he rocks. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
June 16, 200520 yr I actually like Vin Diesel as an action actor. I mean there have been far far far worse action oriented actors that have made far far far worse action movies than Vin has. Harvey
