Zachary Quinto joins Rupert Friend in the Hitman movie reboot, Agent 47...
The last attempt to bring the Hitman movie series to the big screen cast Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47, and had Xavier Gens behind the camera. While not without problems, it was one of the better videogame-to-movie adaptations.
It didn't do enough business, it seems, to get a sequel moving though, and for a little while now, the plan has been to go down reboot road. As such, Rupert Friend has signed up to play the title character this time - the reboot will be called Agent 47 - with Aleksander Bach directing. Skip Woods has penned the script. The late Paul Walker was originally intended for the lead role.
Now we learn that Zachary Quinto is signed up to co-star in Agent 47. His role is not yet clear, although unlike Friend, he'll be keeping his hair. Production is set to start in March, presumably ahead of a release in 2015. We'll let you know as we hear more.
