We love us some bloody action to go along with our horror around here, and Xavier Gens’ HITMAN, for all its flaws, was a bloody action movie. I haven’t exactly been clamoring for a follow-up, but it looks like there’s gonna be one, reports Deadline.com. According to the site, the sequel will be helmed by Daniel Benmayor, a Spanish director who helmed Filmax’s action-horror flick PAINTBALL. He’s also created television spots for the likes of Sony PlayStation, Renault, Mercedes, Heineken and Samsung.

Apparently the story will take a cue from the HITMAN 5 video game, in which Agent 47 is a beaten man and must build himself back psychologically and physically to reclaim his mantle as world’s most feared assassin.
