Hitman: Agent 47 Film Trailer Doesn’t Try For Subtlety

My memories of playing Hitman games are of plotting out the best approach to my target, staying inconspicuous, and striking at the opportune moment. I am pretty sure that crashing a helicopter into the side of a building to take out a target inside won’t get you the Silent Assassin rating.

Thankfully, this is a movie, and Zachary Quinto running for his life from the spinning blades of a makeshift death machine makes for a great visual. In this trailer for Hitman: Agent 47 (with the titular character played by Rupert Friend), we learn more about the enigmatic agent’s history.

The upcoming film, which is scheduled for release on August 28, teams up the series anti-hero with a young woman (Hannah Ware) running for her life from the organization that created 47.
