They should have used Jason Statham, IMHO.

Not only your opinion, but that of pretty much everyone on the net.

Now they could NOT use him for this, I have no fucking clue.

The "hitman" looks like a 12 year old, ha ha.

Olyphant's actually 39.

The trailer is pretty horrible, but it's just a trailer.

They really should have picked someone who looked good with a bald head.
Hell i could have seen Bruce Willas in that part also. He was awesome in "The jackal"

Bruce Willis, Vinn Diesel, Jason Statham. All would have been better choices than a bald 15 year old.

I mean, he looks like a kid who just got out of chemo in most of the shots. No muscle mass at all, and if i remember right, 47 was quite built.

47 was broad framed and tall. He wasn't so built that he'd stand out in a crowd, but enough to do things like pull 200lb people up through the maintenance hatch in an elevator via the piano wire around their necks.

This guy... well, he doesn't seem to fit the part much.

Removing the mustache makes him look like a totally different person compared to his role as Bullock in Deadwood. Can't even recognize him. Statham would've fit the role better, but he wasn't interested apparently.

Of course, this looks like it'll suck just because it looks like a generic action movie. Explosions? Love interest? Protected by God? No piano wire? That's not Hitman.

Wow... the shots in the suit make him look like a kid playing dressup.

And yet he stars in Dungeon Siege...what ominous power does Uwe Boll have over celebrities?

I figured he sold his soul at some point. That's the only explanation I could come up with for Ben Kingsley being in one of his films.

How can that be, though? It's not like Boll's movies make a great deal and it's not like Ray fucking Liotta is usually hurting for work. HE WAS A GOODFELLA, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

Unless Boll has been harboring some amazing fortune from the public, it's a mystery to me.

How about notoriety?

Boll has a cult following, and a lot of people see his movies just to see for themselves how utterly horrible they are. Even if the movies are not well received, people are still shelling out the cash to watch/rent/buy them, for that reason only.

They don't have to.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that Boll exploits international tax codes to recoup a majority of production costs.

For example, Tomb Raider had a budget of $94 Million. But it actually cost less than 7, and here's how.

The loophole was (largely) closed in January of this year, with exception given to native Germans and native German production companies. Of which Boll is both so he's free and clear to produce steaming piles of shit for years to come.
