The game released for the the PC and various other consoles basically revolved around Agent 47 who had to eliminate certain people. This is normally accomplished by sneaking around in disguises until he can get close enough to kill the target.

The movie, which aims to have capture the feel of the game has recruited some of the best actors in the business. If you've been reading up on this, it has been confirmed that Timothy Olyphant will be playing Agent 47 in this suspense flick. Dougray Scott was confirmed as well, and he will be playing the villain in the movie. Other actors who have been casted include: Olga Kurylenko ("Paris je t'aime"), Robert Knepper ("Prison Break"), Ulrich Thomsen ("Festen") and Michael Offei ("Casino Royale").

Fans of the game should be happy to know that director Xavier Gens (Tyro) has already begun lensing the movie in Sofia, Bulguria's capital. They plan on doing additional filming in South Africa, Istanbul, St. Petersburg and London, so watch out for them there.
