This has to be the most explosive extended trailer I’ve seen for the upcoming release of director Aleksander Bach‘s Agent 47. I’m also grateful that it isn’t too spoilery as that sort of thing is to be expected nowadays by various TV spots, although the plot point revealed with respect to actress Hannah Ware alongside lead actor Rupert Friend lends quite the eyeopener.
HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.
August 28, 2015 is when the film releases with Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds and Thomas Kretschmann also starring. Watch the new trailer and be sure to head over to IGN to view the new poster.
