The first tape was released in 2007 and was received rather coldly, although there were also fans. It was a fairly rough adaptation of the Agent 47 story, while Alexander Bach's film carries some of the canonical details of the video game. The creators of the game are the Square Enix studio, and the series itself is quite long. Paul Walker was originally supposed to play the leading role of the shaven-headed killer. He was assigned to the project, but tragically died in November 2013 in a car accident. In January 2014, the actor Rupert Friend, the star of the films "Young Victoria" and "Lullaby for Pi" led the negotiations for the role of the hero of "Agent 47". A little later, in the same month, it became known that one of the heroes in the action movie will be played by Zachary Quinto, who, as can be seen in the result, never dropped out of the project. Hannah Ware, who got the female lead, signed on in early February 2013. "Agent 47" was filmed in Singapore and Berlin. The work was supposed to start in the summer of 2013, but due to some problems and conflicts, it was started only at the end of winter in the spring of 2014.
