Manipulating the people you come into contact, and form relationships, with, in a determined mission to obtain what you want, isn\u2019t always your unwavering intention, but other people\u2019s emotions are often tampered with as a result of your actions. But how you contend with the implications of your decisions will influence the way others will come to view and interact with you, most importantly in their decision in whether or not they can trust your motives. That powerful consideration in how to best connect with the people you wish to work with in order to achieve your goals is grippingly explored in the new action crime movie, \u2018Hitman: Agent 47.\u2019<\/p>\n

The thriller, which was released in theaters today, is the second film adaptation of the popular IO Interactive video game, \u2018Hitman,\u2019 and powerfully explores the characters\u2019 morality, especially when considering the effect it has on the people around them. While promoting the rebooted film franchise, \u2018Hitman Agent 47\u2019s director, Aleksander Bach, and actors Rupert Friend, Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware generously took the time to participate in a press conference at New York City\u2019s Crosby Street Hotel. During the discussion, they spoke about the characters\u2019 increasing reliance on their humanity, which they learned to use to their advantage as they strived to obtain their goals.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hitman: Agent 47\u2019 follows the ruthless title character (Friend), who\u2019s known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck, as he was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect elite assassin and killing machine. He is the culmination of decades of research and forty-six earlier Agent clones, which provides him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence, which he utilizes to hunt down his victims.<\/p>\n

Agent 47\u2019s latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of his past to create a new army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. So he begins working with Katia (Ware), a young woman who\u2019s been in hiding for most of her life, as the corporation has been looking for her. Agent 47 is determined to protect her, as she unknowingly has a link to Litvenko (Ciaran Hinds), the missing scientist who helped launch the hitman program by creating the physical and emotional attributes that create the assassins. While Agent 47 is resolute to use Katia in his quest to find Litvenko, as the scientist may hold the secret to overcoming his enemies, including corporate agent John Smith (Quinto), the assassin confronts stunning revelations about his own origins, which finally pushes him to fight his deadliest adversaries.<\/p>\n

The director intriguingly divulged the process of adapting the popular IO Interactive video into the action crime thriller reboot while at the film\u2019s press conference, beginning by noting the challenges of bringing the title character\u2019s struggles and story to the big screen. While discussing the potential of making a video game into a successful film adaptation, Bach noted that filmmakers need great actors to bring the story and characters to life. \u201cWhen you have this and you combine it with great action, then you have a chance to put the puzzle together in a very nice way, and you create something which feels right,\u201d he also said. <\/p>\n

Bach added that he feels the most important thing in making a film is crafting characters that the audience begins cares for as the story unfolds. \u201cWhen a film is based on \u201c\u2018Hitman,\u2019 and you have this cold assassin Agent 47, you need to care for this guy. When he\u2019s just too cold, it doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Bach also divulged.<\/p>\n

The actors also commented on the difficulties of stepping into their respective roles for \u2018Hitman: Agent 47,\u2019 and crafting their characters for a film whose source material is so beloved. Quinto revealed that he thought the most daunting process was maintaining the stamina to film his stunts, particularly in an effort to stay engaged with his co-stars. But the Emmy Award-nominated actor noted that \u201cIt was good fun to work with these two,\u201d referring to Friend and Ware, the latter of whom conceded that the characters were very physical roles for the entire cast.<\/p>\n

Ware agreed with Bach\u2019s idea that \u201cthe human component is what really brings the film to life, and doesn\u2019t leave it as a crossover\u201d from the \u2018Hitman\u2019 video game. She explained that she thinks \u2018Hitman: Agent 47\u2019 works as a standalone film because it was \u201cextremely well-written, and we have some multi-faceted characters,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

The English actress also described Katia as being \u201cintroduced as a girl who\u2019s seemingly normal and not genetically modified, so the human component is there from the outset.\u201d Ware added that she \u201calways want to see films that reflect universal feelings and themes\u2026I think people watch movies to, in some way, identify with the characters.\u201d She further elaborated, saying that if there weren\u2019t any human components to the characters, viewers wouldn\u2019t connect with them, and therefore wouldn\u2019t be compelled to watch films.<\/p>\n

But Friend noted his appreciation for being able to explore the video game to help build Agent 47, stating that he \u201cfound the games very useful, particularly the later absolution game. The game-makers clearly used an actor for the character, because there was a motion-capture element I could feel.\u201d Quinto\u2019s fellow Emmy Award-nominated actor also discussed how he found his title character\u2019s movements to be very interesting, as \u201cThere was something very graceful about him. This is a guy who takes such pride in his clothes, including the iconic suit and tie. Yet he\u2019s able to fight very efficiently in a very inefficient kind of uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides embracing the opportunity to portray the fascinatingly complex character\u2019s physical form, the English actor revealed he was interested by the notion that Agent 47 has been genetically engineered to be perfect, and yet \u201cthe flaw in that perfection might be his humanity.\u201d While his programmers might consider that morality \u201cto be a real rogue bit of programming\u2026if you look at it from the other side, that could also be his greatest strength. The idea that this guy who\u2019s not supposed to have feelings, vulnerabilities, hopes and dreams, which would be considered flaws by some, could actually be his greatest strength, was interesting.\u201d Friend noted that theme \u201copens up real wonderful questions about what humanity is.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how he prepared to play the title assassin once he signed on to star in \u2018Hitman: Agent 47,\u2019 the \u2018Homeland\u2019 actor joked that he \u201cwent on a killing spree.\u201d The performer admitted that he often gets asked, \u201cWhat is it about you and playing people who kill people for money, because I seem to do it a fair bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he doesn\u2019t know why he\u2019s drawn to play such seemingly heartless killers, he does embraces the opportunity to stretch his imagination. \u201cI think the world (actors are) lucky enough to work in is one of wonderful make believe,\u201d he noted. He relishes in the challenge of imaging diverse situations on a daily basis, adding that \u201cIt\u2019s the single most fascinating element of the job for me. You can\u2019t really literally prepare to play an assassin unless you want to be thrown in prison. There\u2019s a few things you can\u2019t prepare for other than in your mind, and in that respect, it\u2019s a leap of imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friend also chronicled how when he was first cast as Agent 47, he began training with \u201cZachary in a boxing gym here in New York. I was doing this very brutal, efficient, Israeli self-defense technique, and trying to marry that with something a lot more balletic.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Quinto noted that New York is one of his favorite cities, he also enjoys visiting Berlin, where they filmed part of \u2018Hitman: Agent 47,\u2019 and thrived on living there during the shoot. \u201cIt was an incredible experience to be in a city that I\u2019ve known so well for such a long time. I\u2019ve been going there a while, as I have friends that live there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Quinto also thrived on shooting other scenes for the action thriller in Singapore, and appreciated the fact that it\u2019s the first studio film from Hollywood to shoot in the city. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly, stunningly beautiful architectural city. The way that Aleksander and \u00d3ttar Gu\u00f0nason, our incredible DP (Director of Photography), brought that to life and put it on the screen is really sleek and dynamic. It goes a long way to satisfy the appetite of gaming fans who are really used to this cinematic immersion.\u201d<\/p>\n
