New ‘Agent 47’ Image Compares The Video Game’s Star To Rupert Friend!

Briefly: Following the debut of the film’s bad-ass first trailer at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con (read the recap here, as the trailer hasn’t been officially released yet), 20th Century Fox has debuted a new image that compares Agent 47 star Rupert Friend to Agent 47 from the celebrated video game series (of which I’m definitely celebrating Hitman: Go right now..

It’s a great image that shows just how much care went into casting the character (or recasting, as Friend obtained the role after the tragic passing of Paul Walker back in November).

In any case, Friend looks great, the trailer featured some very cool action, and I really can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think. Agent 47 blows its way into theatres on February 27th, 2015.

Based on the top-selling, award-winning videogame franchise, “Hitman: Agent 47” is an all-new motion picture about an elite and genetically engineered assassin, known only by the last two digits – 47 – of a barcode tattooed on the back of his neck.
