The Hitman video game franchise has become a movie again — this time with Homeland‘s Rupert Friend playing the role of the Agent 47 (last played on the big screen by Justified‘s Timothy Olyphant in 2007). Paul Walker was originally attached to the project, but after his death in 2013, the role went to Friend, whose jarring bald look gives his genetically engineered assassin character extra creepy vibes.
Catch him, Zachary Quinto and an exploding helicopter in the trailer, above, and in theaters this summer when the movie opens on Aug. 28.
