The sequel to the Hitman movie, which is still in its early stages, won’t be just a sequel to a pretty crummy movie. It’ll also be a marketing tie-in for the next Hitman game, which is due out next year.
Variety reports that the movie, which we told you about yesterday, would “contain story elements from Hitman 5”, a game due to be released “in late 2010”.

While we knew the game was in development, but 2010? Handy. Been hanging out for some new Hitman.
UPDATE – IO’s community manager has said “I can tell you that there is no way we will be basing a storyline for a new Hitman game on the story in a licensed movie. That’s just not how we work so you shouldn’t be concerned about that.”
