With the movie production well under way, Fox Pictures was willing to give a sneak peek at the celluloid adaptation of the Hitman series. The press release places 47 in the middle of a conspiracy, in the sights of a lot of people with guns, and in the arms of a woman - oh, great, the de rigeur loven interest in a thriller.

Our favorite cue-ball assassin finds himself "caught up in a political takeover," and hunted by officers of Interpol and the Russian military (Guess we know now which country's politics gets the takeover, don't we?). The game - er, movie - is set to take place across Eastern Europe (hence, the shooting locations) as 47 tries to discover what the heck happened, who set him up, and what's with the "beautiful, damaged girl" and him.

Quite the beautiful girl, too, portrayed by Olga Kurylenko. Just dropped by IMDB to confirm that.
