The latest game in the Hitman series, Absolution, is taking the series in a slightly different direction than longtime fans may be used to, as publishers Square Enix seek to tie the games in with the upcoming movie.
That movie is the second Hitman film, in production oblivious to the fact the first one sucked. On the bright side is the fact this new flick has all new characters and an all-new story, making a clean break from the first movie. It will, however, share the same ālook and feelā of the new game, tying the two together.
Back to the game, itās going to star Keith Carradine (not the dead one and not the Revenge of the Nerds one, either) as the gameās villain and White Collarās Marsha Thomason as long-time āvoice in the earā Diana, while mo-cap work was done at Giant Studios, the same place James Cameron used for Avatar. Both actors provide both the voice and mo-cap work for their characters.
