<p>Square Enix&#8217;s chrome-dome assassin is having to reload before he can fire another game-movie into theaters. Fox International&#8217;s adaptation of the Square Enix published Hitman series,<em> Agent 47,</em> has just been pushed back six months from <strong>Feb. 27th, 2015,</strong> to <strong>August 28, 2015.</strong></p>
<p>The film will see <em>Homeland</em> star Rupert Friend at the helm as the title character. Co-starring are Zachary Quinto (<em>Star Trek: Into Darkness</em>) as the lead villain alongside Thomas Kretschmann (<em>Stalingrad</em>).</p>
<p><em>Agent 47</em> centers on a cold-blooded and equally bald-headed assassin who teams up with a woman (Hannah Ware) to help her find her father and uncover the mysteries of her ancestry whilst killing people in a swank suit and tie.</p>
<p>The Aleksander Bach directed film follows and reboots 2007&#8217;s <em>Hitman </em>starring Timothy Oliphant in the Hitman role. Sources said the move was due to the project needing more time to complete the many special effects shots. The movie grew in scope than what was initially planned for when Fox first slotted its release date.</p>
<p>We thought the latest game of the movie&#8217;s namesake was a rather <a href="https://bagogames.com/hitman-absolution-review/">&#8220;hit and miss&#8221;</a> ourselves, but full of blood-pumping action and cinematic prowess.</p>
