A sequel to the film adaptation of Hitman is in production, according to a new report by movie site IESB.

Writer Kyle Ward, also attached to the Kane & Lynch adaptation, is handling the script for Hitman 2. Producers Adrian Askarieh, Daniel Alter and Chuck Gordon will return.

The original Hitman was released in 2007, with Deadwood veteran Timothy Olyphant in the starring role. Despite dismal reviews, the film eventually raked in $99.9 million at the box office.

The first was alright, but it wasn't at all dark enough.

To be honest, I think it was just Timothy Olyphant. Absoloute worst choice of actor ever. He just came across as really camp whenever he did/said anything.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was far from spectacular, but it was fun. Would be cool if Olyphant returned, he seemed to fit the role really well.

I thought they did a pretty good job with the first Hitman movie. It wasn't amazing or anything but it stays true to the game in most every way, including 47's revulsion towards affection. I really don't remember any key scenes or anything, but I do recall being entertained by it.

As a Hitman fanboy, I really enjoyed the first movie and can't wait for the sequel.

My favorite part of the movie was the part with the kids playing a video game when 47 jumped through the window.

It wasn't a blockbuster, but I thought it was well done and I really liked it. Bought the DVD too.
