      I think he was probably offered the role to play Agent 47 in the movies because why wouldn't they try to get the man himself. David Bateson probably realized that the movies were going to be terrible and would be unfaithful to the character of Agent 47. Just listen to what he said in this interview: "Agent 47 doesn't talk this much" and "this isn't what 47 is like". He *knows* who agent 47 is and is a bit protective of him and because of that he probably won't take on any roles as him in movies because he just knows they will butcher it, and that's what every single Hitman movie has done. Every single Hitman movie utterly failed to stay true to the original. Playing those roles would have been a stain on his name.

      He seems to mostly do voice work, just because you're a voice actor doesn't mean you'll do great on film. Just speculation, but there's a lot more that goes into it, why do you think they get people like Tara Strong and Tom Kenny to do so many characters but get famous actors to play the roles in live action movies?

    In order for a Hitman movie to work for him to be in it, I think he would have to be like Michael Myers. Doesn't talk or at least when being spoken to. Not have it from his perspective, but of that of his target, and have him be a just a silent assassin. Like Jaws seeking his prey.

    • @slash4216
      @slash4216 6 років тому +3

      @EditRepublic Exactly. As long as it wouldn't follow 47. Because if it did, the movie wouldn't be as interesting unless if you add elements to him that isn't him. That's where the movies failed. They turn him into a security guard to protect someone or some bs and call it Hitman. The same reason why Hitman: Absolution failed.

    • @geronimovegettimoal7960
      @geronimovegettimoal7960 6 років тому +22

      The real challenge for a movie about HITMAN is to capture what goes through 47’s mind while he plans the assassinations; knowing the terrain, the target’s movement, positions of advantage, possible “accidents”, etc.
      We do that as the player by just playing and getting to know the mission. When we enter a map for the first time, we are just ourselves wandering the place and looking for opportunities; but by the time we reach a certain level of “mastery” and we can be 2 steps ahead of everything, then we really are Agent 47.
      Thats the thrill of the game, and the only way to translate that into a movie is with something like what “The edge of tommorrow” did with the concept of repetition.

      And there are alot of old action heros who still got more than enough power. David would just need to hit the gym a little.
