The bald assassin strikes again, as Fox has hired Kyle Ward (Kane & Lynch) to pen a sequel to the film adaptation of Hitman that was released back in 2007.
The original took inspiration from the famed video game franchise, putting the genetically-engineered assassin Agent 47 – played by Timothy Olyphant – in the middle of a conspiracy.
Original producers Adrian Askarieh, Daniel Alter and Chuck Gordon are all back.

Nicolas Cage makes a bold move by taking on the role of an anonymous assassin who takes an unexpected turn when he travels to Thailand to complete a series of contract killings. Joe (Nicolas Cage), a remorseless hitman, is in Bangkok to execute four enemies of a ruthless crime boss named Surat. He hires Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm), a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment. Strangely, Joe, the ultimate lone wolf, instead finds himself mentoring the young man while simultaneously being drawn into a tentative romance with a local shop girl. As he falls further under the sway of Bangkok’s intoxicating beauty. Of course, if you have seen the original Pang Brothers’ wildly popular Hong Kong action film of the same name BANGKOK DANGEROUS, you’d know that Joe begins to question his isolated existence and let down his guard …just as Surat decides it’s time to clean house.
