Fox has debuted the first trailer for Hitman: Agent 47, director Aleksander Bach's action spy thriller inspired by long-running video game franchise.

A reboot following 2007's widely panned Hitman, Agent 47 stars Rupert Friend as a genetically engineered elite assassin who targets a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of his past to create an army of killers. Zachary Quinto plays John Smith, who apparently aims to stop him by tracking down the one man who knows his weakness: the creator of the Agent program.

Opening Aug. 28, Hitman: Agent 47 also stars Hannah Ware, Ciarán Hinds and Thomas Kretschmann.
