Paul Walker to Star in HITMAN Reboot, AGENT 47

[Naramie]

His best film was Into the Blue, it had nothing to do with him and all to do with Jessica Alba being in a bikini the entire movie.

Hollywood chooses to be unethical. Additionally, from Hollywood's own volition, it possesses an insatiable appetite of greed. Consequently, it refuses to restrain its tainted hands from defiling any sort of potentially great or already great movie/story just so it can profit instead.

No way. His best film, by far, was Varsity Blues. He was also in Pleasantville, but I don't think that's what you mean by "his" movie.

The best film in which he was the lead was Running Scared. That's one of the most unique independent action films I've seen in years. It wasn't great, but it was very much its own. Joy Ride wasn't bad. Everything else he's done has been awful or forgettable.

Timothy Olyphant did a pretty good job with the role of 47...if they had got a decent director and writer then we might have had a great movie


...wow for the remake they are using the same writer...ugh + Paul Walker this one is gonna be even worse then the first one. (which I didn't mid)

 

[Viva]

Makes no sense at all.

But then again, its Fox.

 

[Rowe Jogan]

Paul Walker can't be a better acto than Olyphant. Tim can't help it if the script sucked ass.

 

[J Storm**]

If he says, 'I almost had you' at the end it would all be worth it.

 

[That209]

You're right. I guess it could be applied to countless actors/actresses.

I'm sure there's tons. I like Paul Walker, I do enjoy his movies, but if he does get the part as Agent 47.. I would be a little aggravated by it. I'd still watch it because I'm a huge fan of the game series and the last film was decent, but he just doesn't fit the character at all.

 

[Madmick]

BTW, I think there are plenty of actors who could nail this role (though a number would have to feign an accent):

Mark Strong
Michael Fassbender (good luck getting him)
Paul Bettany
Alexander Skarsg

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

I also think Taylor Kitsch was a good mention. Is the draw of this movie really the star? It seems as perfect an opportunity as any to test the waters on an unknown and potentially launch a new cash cow career.

Kitsch is box office poison.

 

[groo]

Honestly man, i would put my money that you are a more convincing 47 than Walker.

The fact that you're black may get in the way, but at least the movie would appeal to more, erm, "Urban" audiences.

He's black?

 

[Ed Banger]

Why the Paul Walker hate? Loved him in that trhiller with the Russian kid that looks like a young Roman Zentsov.

 

[JinKazama]

why not vin diesel

running scared is actually a very underrated paul walker movie

too often people remember paul walker from friggin too fast too furious, where u wonder how this guy would ever get another acting job

 

[Madmick]

Kitsch is box office poison.

Nah, those movies were box office poison. It had nothing to do with him. I don't care who you put in those roles; John Carter and Battleship were god freaking awful, and everybody could tell they were gonna be awful from the trailers. Savages has made back its money. The guy has genuine star power, but I don't think he's a very good actor, and I don't think there will ever again be a role as perfect for him that will hide this fact as seamlessly as Tim Riggins. They haven't yet figured out his star persona. Maybe he'd be better as a villain. The laconic athlete role was just the right porridge, but there aren't a ton of those to go around on the silver screen.

 

[Kemo**]

Agent 47 is a soulless individual. Paul Walker is a shitty actor. So it works.

 

[ZappBrannigan]

I like Walker. The movie Joy Ride was sweet

 

[Madmick]

Another thought:
Jon Bernthal

Don't listen to Dragon. He's just bitter because I met Taylor.
