Rupert Friend leads this time around as 47, a specially engineered assassin who sets out to stop a corporation from unleashing an army of even more specially engineered assassins. Hannah Ware and Zachary Quinto also star, and Aleksander Bach directed. Check out the Hitman Agent 47 trailer after the jump.

So much of the Hitman: Agent 47 trailer feels familiar, and not just because it’s based on a popular video game series. We’ve seen these characters playing out this story, a hundred times before. Still, it’s not all bad. If the rest of the movie is anything like that ridiculous scene of Agent 47 breaking out of the interrogation room, Hitman: Agent 47 could be exactly the kind of mindless time-waster you need to get you through the dead of summer.
Hitman: Agent 47 opens August 28, a few weeks after Fox’s other big franchise reboot.
