- The main villain in Hitman: Absolution is Blake Dexter, played by Cowboys & Aliens star Keith Carradine.

- Agent 47's handler is Diana Burnwood, played by White Collar's Marsha Thomason. Diana is said to have a "close relationship" with Agent 47, Hollywood Reporter revealed.

- "Diana is 47's only true human contact," Thomason said. "They've known each other an extremely long time, and in the Hitman world, she is what Q is to James Bond. So she sets the assignments, tells him where to go and who to kill."

- "The character I play in Hitman: Absolution is as multidimensional as any well-imagined character should be," Carradine said.

- "The vividness of the world entered by the gamer hinges on detail. To fully engage the attention of the player requires nothing less than the most completely realized universe of geography and personality."

- Developer IO is working with a dozen Hollywood actors for the hotly-anticipated game, due out next year. - Actors are required to provide performance capture and voice over work, conducted in Giant Studios, which James Cameron used for blockbuster movie Avatar.

- IO has captured "complex scenes" with up to seven actors on set at once. Absolution focuses on the emotional stories that evolve, director Tore Blystad said.

- "We had actors like Marsha and Keith come in and do full-body acting with facial and voice being captured simultaneously in scenes. - "Some of these scenes were very complex with all kinds of props and interactions amongst the actors."

- Absolution has been built "from the ground up" by IO using its new proprietary Glacier 2 technology.

- Blystad described it as "more stylised, more serious, and darker this time around in both the story line and the visuals".

- Agent 47 goes on different missions throughout the US, with part of the game taking place in Chicago.

- A new Hitman movie launches next year to coincide with the film. Daniel Casey (Jimmy Six) has written the script. The film is said to have an original story and characters, "but will retain the look and feel of the new game".

I hope when he says "more stylised visuals" he doesn't mean they are getting away from the realistic look.

Some pics from Tore Blystad's twitter.

Ok never mind I cannot figure out these attachments.

Yeah.. that would suck. Still excited though.

E3 2011 CG trailer.

AHHHH! ____ YES!!!! Total killing machine this time!

Yeah.. not even a second of real gameplay footage though. Seriously.. Sony ruined video game trailers forever. They started that trend of showing CGI instead of real gameplay footage for promotion.

I'm excited because I like Hitman.. but this trailer gave me ZERO info about what to expect graphics/gameplay wise. Blah.

Some pics from E3. Looks like they are in-game?
