It seems that 20th Century Fox is giving the green light for preproduction into Hitman 2, a sequel to their 2007 adaptation of the popular video game series. Robert Sanchez, via IESB, reports the studio has hired scribe Kyle Ward (upcoming Kane and Lynch) to flesh out a screenplay for the sequel.

The website confirms that Adrian Askarieh, Daniel Alter and Chuck Gordon will return as producers but with the development process just gearing up, there's no confirmation yet on the possible returns of  Timothy Olyphant (Agent 47), Olga Kurylenko (Nika Bororina) and Dougray Scott (Mike Whittier).

The first film hit theaters on November 21, 2007 before going on to gross $100 million worldwide. Xavier Gens helmed the production, based on a screenplay by Skip Woods.

I did as well.... Olga is hot, that's about it. Too bland..... They should have gotten Luc Besson to do something with this and (or at least have someone else) treat it along the lines of the Transporter series as far as PG-13 action goes.... writing was terrible.

I find it hard to believge that after that dismal performance they're still green lighting a sequel. Then again, Hellboy performed even worse and that had a sequel albeit by a different studio.

Olga... yum yum... She is hot and plays hot a$$ chicks perfectly... she knows her parts and does them well... Hi I am Olga, I am a super hot chick that will take off my clothes in any movie, I dont have a huge range, but I play the hot a$$ russian/ukrainian/belorussian/ex-USSR chick that needs to take her top off and show off her goods... I think i will go watch hitman or even a bit of max payne now... ta ta...

Really? They're making a sequel? Wonders will never cease...

If they making a sequel to this you know Max Payne 2 ain't far behind, specially with a new Max Payne game coming out.  That means more Vulture People.
