The trailer for 'Hitman Agent 47' has been released showcasing all of the franchise's iconic action-packed content.

The movie is based on the stealth-action adventure video game franchise by IO Interactive. It seems the movie will follow the main character, Agent 47, a genetically enhanced clone trained in various methods of murder.

A film for the game was released in 2007, 'Hitman', starring Timothy Olyphant, but it's release wasn't too successful.

The new film is totally unconnected and stars Rupert Friend (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Into Darkness).

The studio released this synopsis for the film:

"HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research - and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe."
