The connection between the gamers and Vin Diesel is obviously more unstable than one would guess, given the similarity of the game character and Vin Diesel. After it became public knowledge that Vin Diesel would be playing 20th Century Fox's "Hitman", fans of the game started to protest. translation by JsVineyard (VX)
The game company's plans to let the 37 year old muscle man embody the Agent in future games, is a particular worry to the fans. Due to that, a petition has been started. It says that Vin Diesel would be forgivable as movie cast, but fans of the game would rather not see him involved in future games.
The authors of the petition also point out to publisher Eidos and Hitman Studio IO Interactive, that never before an established game character has been changed to fit the actor portraying it in the movie.
Far less prospects for success has a second petition. It rigorously demands that Vin Diesel should not be allowed to play the agent under any circumstances. In fact David Bateson, Agent 47's original voice, would be far more suitable for that.
