i think it will be decent and a bit entertaining... if it can pull that off, perhaps it will encourage hollywood to enlist the actual gaming companies into making their movies... i don't know what went wrong with hitman, but the last movie wasn't even hitman, just a guy in a suit with a red tie ... timothy olyphant's version was ok, but lacked the story it needed, plus the whole damsel in distress part, which 47 never gets attached to anyone except diana at the agency... just do it right ffs...
with ubisoft a the helm, they can make the movie they want to make... i remember reading somewhere that ubisoft isn't trying to make bank on this film either... they're trying to put out a true representation of their franchise... apparently they're prepared to take a loss, or not get much in return... but at least they'll be showing people their version, and not the fucked up hollywood version that has ruined 99% of all video game movies...
the first silent hill is still the best video game movie IMO... let's hope we can finally get some new contenders to that list ...
