Fox ready for 'Hitman 2'

Twentieth Century Fox is preparing for "Hitman 2."

According to Variety, the studio has hired screenwriter Kyle Ward to write a script for the movie that catches title character, Agent 47, at a low point. He must build himself back up psychologically and physically to reclaim his mantle as the world's most feared assassin.

The film will contain story elements from "Hitman 5," the upcoming Eidos video game that will be released in late 2010.

Adrian Askarieh is producing with Chuck Gordon, with Daniel Alter executive producing.

Ward got the job after writing "Kane and Lynch," the Lionsgate drama that has Bruce Willis attached to star and Simon Crane to direct. That picture, also produced by Askarieh and Alter, is expected to begin production by year's end.
