Hitman Movie Trailer
Gwenda Gronert
"My name is Gary Johnson, and my simple question for you is: who is your hit man?" Netflix has unveiled the main official trailer Hit Man, the hugely loved new "hitman" comedy from Texas filmmaker Richard Linklater. This first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival last year, with a rapturous premiere where audiences went nuts for (read my full review). It also went on to play at TIFF, NYFF, London and Sundance. From the Oscar-nominated writer / director Richard Linklater, starring the great Glen Powell alongside Adria Arjona, comes Hit Man. Inspired by an unbelievable true story, a "hit man" meets his match with a client who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities. Co-written by Linklater & Powell and inspired by a true story, it's a cleverly existential comedy about identity. Hit Man arrives on Netflix in June, hopefully with a proper theatrical debut first before it's streaming. The cast includes Austin Amelio, Retta, Sanjay Rao, and Evan Holtzman. Everyone loves this film! You will, too! Not the best trailer - but take our word for it and see this when it's out (in theaters!!) this summer.
I have to agree. I thought the same thing while watching the trailer. It's been 13 years since his last performance, yet Brosnan could still be playing a version of Bond. I'll probably check the movie out.
Poor, poor film. The plot reminded me slightly of Pollacks Three days of the Condor, but thats that. Brosnan is rubish in it. No characterization whatsoever and I just wished he kept silent. At least it would give him a bit more gravitas. Didnt like November Man either. Even the Detonator flicks had more punch. I miss a good Brosnan film. Last one was... well, A Long way down was interesting. Ghost Writer was awesome. The Greatest had some good acting. Seraphim Falls was cool. Matador was nice. Laws of Attraction managed to be...fun? But then, all the others post Bond (should I say, post Evelyn?) films were rubbish, IMO.
The film is adapted from a Texas Monthly article by Skip Hollandsworth which profiled Gary Johnson, a man convicted in the late 1990s of posing as a hitman-for-hire despite never actually committing murder. Linklater uses this unusual true story as a jumping-off point to weave an imaginative tale exploring identity and self-invention.
The official logline is as follows: Inspired by an unbelievable true story, a strait-laced professor discovers his hidden talent as a fake hit man. He meets his match in a client who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities.
The trailer has already received overwhelmingly positive responses from outlets like Rolling Stone, Vulture, Total Film, IndieWire, and more. The film, starring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, will be released in select theaters May 24 and will premiere on Netflix June 7.
It shows off Agent 47 doing his usual 9-5 of assassination tricks, from falling chandeliers to sneakily throwing someone off the side of a building, with a host of imaginative outcomes shown that likely only scratch the surface of what will be possible in this game.
Perhaps the most interesting options are the administrative ones, with the trailer stressing the ability to even book meetings with your targets directly, which certainly makes it easier to get in their vicinity.
Don't have a next-gen console yet? IO Interactive is throwing a free next-gen upgrade to players you buy it on the Xbox One or PS4 first. That means you'll be able to get the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X at no extra cost.
Even though he played a noble King of the North in Game of Thrones, actor Sean Bean might be better known as a film baddie. He does his best bad guy slow burn in a trailer for the Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment game Hitman 2.
Earlier today, Square Enix officially revealed Hitman: Absolution. It doesn't show a whole lot, but one thing it does show clearly is a barcode. It's shown with a black background with white bar code lines, but some curious fellow over on Reddit swapped the colors to the standard scheme so that iPhone product app RedLaser could recognize it. We scanned it to see what it was, and it takes you to an...interesting Amazon listing.
More specifically, it takes you to the product page for the "Drawstring Double Dong D**do Bag," which comes in "Starry Night Blue." Yes, the barcode in the trailer is a barcode for a double-ended d**do bag. I know Agent 47 is fond of killing people in creative ways, but I didn't know this is what Square Enix had in mind when game director Tore Blystad said "For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy." It all makes perfect sense now.
A very CGI trailer for the new Hitman is, well, odd. It's Agent 47 murdering a collection of scantily clad women, who were moments earlier dressed as nuns. It's a trailer that is to feminism what cricket balls are to genitals. You can watch the Tarantino wet dream below.
As a trailer it fails on a few levels. Firstly, on the level of actually trailing anything. Secondly, it's clearly not a meaningful representation of the game. Thirdly, it's tacky like a tar-covered glue stick.
Author Akira Amano's 2000s popular action-comedy manga, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, is known as one of the earliest series that featured many shonen tropes before the "Big Three" took the genre by storm.
Now, nearly 13 years after the conclusion of its anime adaptation, known in North America as Reborn!, Shonen Jump's official YouTube channel has shared a special starring the 10th Vongola Family, showcasing the beloved members of this iconic clan.
Amano's manga was originally published in Shonen Jump from May 2004 to November 2012 and had 42 volumes. The anime series soon followed its debut, spanning 9 seasons and 203 episodes, which aired from 2006 to 2010, on Tokyo TV. Since the anime ended a couple of years earlier than the manga, it concluded with the "Future" arc, while the "Ceremony" arc and "The Curse of the Rainbow" arc were never adapted.
The series is currently available on the streaming platform Crunchyroll's line-up of shonen animes. Crunchyroll's synopsis of the series reads, "Tsuna, a timid junior high student, is a failure at school, sports, and social life. But everything around Tsuna has been completely changed when a baby called Reborn, who claims to be an Italian hitman from the Vongola family shows up! Reborn was sent to groom Tsuna for his future life as a mafia boss of the family!" Despite ending its run over a decade ago, Reborn! remains popular among fandoms for masterfully executing the shonen formula, allowing the main cast to experience significant growth
Fincher directs from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker (reuniting with the writer who he worked with him on Seven), adapted from the French graphic novel series of the same name written by Alexis Nolent and illustrated by Luc Jacamon. Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Sophie Charlotte, Kerry O'Malley, Gabriel Polanco, Emiliano Pernia, and Tilda Swinton (who we catch a glimpse of in the trailer) also star.
Fincher has had plans to adapt The Killer into a feature-length film since 2007, with Paramount Pictures originally set as distributor. The prolific director hasn't helmed a feature-length thriller since 2014's Gone Girl, taking a six-year hiatus from film overall before returning with the biographical drama Mank in 2020.

In response to the wealth of criticism directed at the Attack of the Saints trailer that debuted at E3 earlier this week, Hitman: Absolution game director Tore Blystad has publicly apologised for the ensuing controversy and provided context for the trailer within the game itself.
Blystad denied allegation that the trailer was intentional controversial in nature to attract widespread attention, claiming it came as a "big surprise" to the development team. "It was never the intention to provoke people with it."
Deflecting criticism directed at the tight-fitting nun outfits the assassins in trailer are seen wearing, described by commentators as 'fetishistic' in nature, Blystad stated that the series "has always been extreme in many ways."
The preview shows Michael (Reynolds) take a sabbatical from being a bodyguard, only to have his vacation interrupted by Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek), the wife of hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson).
Netflix unveiled the trailer for Glen Powell's Hit Man on Friday. The film is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater and is written by him, along with Powell. Adria Arjona also stars as the lead alongside Powell.
Hit Man tells the story of an undercover Houston police officer who disguised himself as a hitman to resolve some criminal offence. While committed to his duty, he encounters a woman who needs help. Circumstances force him to be at both ends of being a police officer and a hitman.
Billed as an action comedy, Hit Man has a script based on the Texas Monthly magazine article by Skip Hollandsworth. Powell plays the role of the police officer/ hitman, while Adria Arjona essays the women he encounters. Hit Man also features Retta, Austin Amelio, and Molly Bernard in supporting roles.
