During the history of Hollywood, the Starswells signed and then exchanged projects for something else and only realized that they made the right or wrong call when the box office numbers entered. Vin Diesel, for example, was originally down to play Agent 47 in Hitman, "The movie adapted from the popular video game franchise, but refused. Most would say the films "Fast and the Furious" threw a bullet, as the film received fraud reviews and at the moment boasts a coat 16% of rotten tomatoes. Even so, it's pretty generous to the even greater fire of Damper, in which he starred next year instead.

Initially, diesel was a top choice for the role of 47, the iconic killer with a shaved head and a barcode of the neck, which is employed in a mysterious organization. As one of the biggest stars in the box office, which was well acquainted with action movies at the time, it seemed like a perfect match. Unfortunately, Diesel was thinking differently and leaving the project, making room for another movie in his schedule - "Babylon ad" by Matthie Casovitz, the signs were there that Diesel made the right choice. He climbed a scientific film directed by the same director known for his massively influential La Hine. However, audiences and critics have decided that it is not enough, and "Babylon ad" was universally underwear. Meanwhile, Hitman has hit his goal, and then some.

Even after Vin Diesel was replaced by Timothy Oliphant (whose name was still on the rise at the time thanks to the roles in Deadwood and Live Free or Die Hard), Hitman did not seem to have suffered much after his post. Bad reviews aside, the film gathered in an impressive $ 101 million against a $ 24 million budget, largely thanks to the already established fans. "Babylon ad", on the other hand, was a tougher sale and the one who did not pay. The critical reception reflected its financial, with the film earning a disappointing $ 72m treasurer against a $ 70 million budget. Earn and bad Rotten tomatoes score of only 7% Doing it The worst movie of Vin Diesel's careerDespite Relatively excellent examinations for his publication on physical media.

It wasn't just the audience who wanted to keep his distance from the film. Casitz was furious With the final result, he publicly denied the film, which he described as a "hell" that was involved in the studio mixing. As for "Hitman", no matter what rating he got, there was enough interest to inhale a new life in it by restarting years later in "Hitman: Agent 47". This time, Rupert's friend got 47, but the results were not so profitable. Obviously none is considered one of The best video game movies ever madeBut who knows? Maybe if diesel was held by shooting the screen in a black suit and a red tie, one of them could have been.
