Hitman movie sequel has a director
News
Not clear if Timothy Olyphant will return as Agent 47.
Deadline reports that Spanish director Daniel Benmayor is in line to direct 20th Century Fox's Hitman movie sequel.
The second movie based on the Eidos/Square Enix video game series will mark Benmayor's Hollywood debut, having previously worked on commercials and Spanish-language action film Paintball.
The original movie grossed over $100 million worldwide on a modest $30 budget, but it's not yet clear if its star, Timothy Olyphant, will reprise his role as Agent 47. Olyphant is currently staring as trigger-happy lawman Raylan Givens in FX's Justified (airing in the UK on Five USA).

No established director would go near this after the way Xavier Gens was treated by Fox on the first film and the fact that it was dire.

Very modest indeed.
