20th Century Fox are pushing ahead with their Hitman sequel.

Based on the popular series of video games, the original Hitman movie, released back in 2007 starred Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47 and while, critically at least; it took a mauling, at the box office it generated over a 100 million dollars which is even more impressive when you consider that the movie cost under 30 million to make.

At this moment in time it is believed that Spanish director Daniel Benmayor will oversee Hitman 2 while it is unclear as to whether or not Timothy Olyphant will return as the bald assassin with a barcode on the back of his head.

Writing duties are thought to be with Kyle Ward who is also working on another video game to movie adaption; Kane & Lynch while the plot is expected to tie in with the next (fifth) game in the Hitman series.

Call me insane but I really enjoyed the original Hitman and will look forward to seeing what they can do with Hitman 2. Though I must confess I never bought into Olyphant as a hitman.
