One of the coolest games I've played on the Xbox lately is Hitman: Blood Money, the latest in the Agent 47 Hitman series. It's freakin' cool, and there are countless ways to complete the levels making it perfect for a second or third run through. Any how, I digress. This morning I read that a movie based on the Hitman games is in production.

Dougray Scott will star alongside Timothy Olyphant in Luc Besson-produced actioner "The Hitman" for 20th Century Fox.

Olga Kurylenko ("Paris je t'aime"), Robert Knepper ("Prison Break"), Ulrich Thomsen ("Festen") and Michael Offei ("Casino Royale") also have joined the cast of the vidgame adaptation.

Initially, my expectations for this film were frightfully low, as I'd read rumor's that Uwe Boll had signed on to produce the Hitman adaption. You may remember Uwe Boll from such grotesque films as Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead and Blood Rayne. He has also been linked to a Huner: The Reckoning film.

In any case, I'm glad he doesn't seem to be involved with the Agent 47 movie. Vin Diesel was once rumored to be playing 47, but this has been proven false as well.
