Out doing promotions for the romantic comedy "Catch and Release", actor Timothy Olyphant talked with Coming Soon about an old rumour from last year.

A few months back it was said that he had replaced Vin Diesel as the leading candidate for the title role in "Hitman", an adaptation of the hit Eidos video game.

Olyphant not confirms he's had talks about playing the role but that it's not confirmed.

"I don't think I've ever been officially attached to it contrary to the internet. It sounds fun. It sounds pretty cool. I've seen the pictures. I've never played the game but it looks cool. Lord knows what I'd look like when this hair comes off. It's a major concern" he said.
