New details for the upcoming Hitman movie sequel have emerged, including information about what game, if any, the new movie will be based off of.

"We've designed a more stylized, more serious, and darker game this time around in both the story line and the visuals. The hope is that the movie will be going in a similar direction, and then when they both come out they will speak the same language. They won't follow the old Hitman games, but rather go with this newer direction," said Tore Blystad, game director at IO Interactive.

"We've seen the grit and texture and the character-driven context that IO Interactive is going for with Hitman: Absolution and it's our goal to bring Agent 47 back with a vengeance next year in a movie," said producer Adrian Askarieh.

Other details:

• Daniel Casey (Jimmy Six) has written the latest draft of the script.
• New installment will have an original story and characters, but will retain the look and feel of the new game.
• Looking at a 2012 launch.
