The first shots from the upcoming movie Hitman: 47 have been unveiled, showing off actor Rupert Friend (Homeland) as the titular Agent 47.

Actors Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Into Darkness) and Hannah Ware (Betrayal) will also be starring in the film.

Hitman: Agent 47 won't be based directly of the existing games, instead using the franchise as a "great launching-off point," Quinto says.

Hitman: Agent 47 is set for release February 27 next year.
