Next Hitman Game Due “Late 2010″, Movie Sequel Will Tie In
The sequel to the Hitman movie, which is still in its early stages, won’t be just a sequel to a pretty crummy movie. It’ll also be a marketing tie-in for the next Hitman game, which is due out next year.
Variety reports that the movie, which we told you about yesterday, would “contain story elements from Hitman 5″, a game due to be released “in late 2010″.
While we knew the game was in development, but 2010? Handy. Been hanging out for some new Hitman.

So long as the movie is riding on the coat-tails of the game, and hasn’t actually had one iota of influence on the game, I’m okay with this.
Okay as far as i know, the movie didn’t actually relate to the plot of any of the games. So firstly, this is a bad, bad choice, IF correct.
Secondly… freaking 2010. LATE 2010! So more than likely holiday seasons considering its HITMAN and its like a Splinter Cell – popular and stealth and a sure hit.
THIRDLY. Why the wide gap between games. Every other game was 2 years apart i think, maybe 3. But this is over 3 years!!!! Better be goood, but i have my doubts it will be crap! I mean, its HITMAN!
More Kurylenko.

The movie wasnt that bad… it was a pretty good video game adaptation so I wish people would give it a break.
As for a game I’m totally hanging out for another one… one of my favourite franchises for sure.
the hitman movie was utterly terrible. did not do the game justice. but no movie adaptation ever has.
