New Hitman Movie, Game Set For 2010
See Full ImageAs we all know, movies only need to make money in order to warrant a sequel. Quality isn't a requirement.
...which is why a sequel to last year's "Hitman" film is still in the early stages, but at least it sets the stage for another game, which has a good chance of being great. According to Kotaku, the movie will act as a marketing tie-in with the next installment in the critically acclaimed franchise, and both are due out some time next year. Variety has reported that the movie "will contain story elements from 'Hitman 5,' a game due to be released 'in late 2010.'" For our part, we certainly like the idea of a new game; this is one series that has flourished despite some inevitable comparisons to other games that utilize stealth as a primary appeal. The movie wasn't really worth talking about but then again, what film based on a game is...? We always like to remain optimistic so we'll try to keep our hopes high for the movie, but we fully expect the game to deliver the goods in spades. In all honesty, we wouldn't care if the film disappeared and all we got was the game...how big of a tragedy would that really be?
Anyway, we'll be on the lookout for new Hitman news as time goes on, although with a "late 2010" estimate, we probably won't find very much for a little while.

based on the game however,it sucked...
my brother bought the movie for me when it came out and it included "Blood Money" for PC,which i did not enjoy as much as all the games before it..
i just hope,that they learned the lesson here,and that the next game/movie is better..

EA and activision and spewing out shit and still expecting 120 bucks for a steaming pile of turd.
there should be a group of gamers or something limiting how much they can charge for there games.
because well mercenaries 2 is not worth 120 bucks.
transformers 2 is not worth 120 bucks.
guitar hero metalica is not worth 120 bucks.
bionic commando is not worth 120 bucks.
ghostbusters is not worth 120 bucks.
all those games listed there shouldent be any more than 60 bucks no more.
and i hope they do a new hitman game ive been wanting one for ages.
i soaked so much time into the first 1 on ps1,theres so many franchises sony could bring back from the ps1 days.
what are they waiting for, and WHERES MY SYPHON FILTER?
dark mirror and logans shadow are the best psp titles i think its time it made it to ps3.

And I actually thought the 'Hitman' movie was quite good, if not very faithful to it's source material.

The game aside, the movie wasn't so bad. But since the game was so good we'd expect a better movie.

However, I went into the film expecting it to be ridiculous so I wasn't disappointed;) it was kind of entertaining.
