Writer Hired For Second Hitman Film

Fox has hired a writer for a proposed sequel to the Hitman film.The writer has been named as Kyle Ward, according to IESB (thanks Shacknews). If Ward’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s worked with IO before, writing the forthcoming movie adaptation of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.The original Hitman film starred Timothy Olyphant and while, critically panned, it grossed around $100 million USD worldwide in cinema alone.We’re due a new Hitman game at some point in the future.
