SINGAPORE SITES LAND LEADING ROLE IN HITMAN: AGENT 47 FILM

For the first time in recent history, a Hollywood event movie will feature Singapore’s famous landmarks: Twentieth Century Fox’s action thriller HITMAN: AGENT 47 highlights many recognizable locations from that country.

They include The Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, The Arts House (former Parliament House), The Supreme Court, The Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands and The Singapore Flyer can be clearly seen in the trailer and poster.

“An epic, action film like “AGENT 47” demands a global scale. To be the first American studio film to present this truly unique locale as a backdrop is an incredible opportunity. The Singapore Media Development Authority (MDA) was supportive, from our initial visit to Singapore, all the way through to completion of production. Combined with the terrific, enthusiastic local crew, Singapore was a success for our film,” commented Executive Producer Michael Hendrickson.

The film was shot in Singapore in 2014.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite and genetically engineered assassin known only by the last two digits of a barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. His latest target is a young woman on the run from powerful and clandestine forces. The mission brings startling revelations about 47 and his prey, hurtling them both on a collision course with their pasts. And this time, his number may be up.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 stars Rupert Friend, Zachary Quinto, Hannah Ware, Ciaràn Hinds, Thomas Kretschmann, Emilio Rivera, Dan Bakkedahl and Chinese rising star Angelababy. The director is Aleksander Bach and the screenplay is by Skip Woods and Michael Finch.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 opens in Singapore 27 August 2015.
