Hit Man is based on the true story of Gary Johnson.
Hit Man is now playing in select theaters before the film heads to Netflix this weekend. The new film was directed by Richard Linklater and stars Glenn Powell as Gary Johnson, a hitman who enters into a romantic entanglement with a potential client , only to find out that the romance could be more dangerous than any job he's ever taken on.
"Oh, that's a good question. You know, I got to know him a little bit," Linklater began."I just think this movie is so much his point of view, not only of her but just kind of the world, everything. So yeah, it influenced it a lot. You know, what I knew of him personally and what we gather from his life and everything. He had that view."
"But I think he'd be bemused by this movie where we took it is far beyond his own life," he continued."I mean, the article about him ends when he lets her off. So everything from then on is this little thrill ride we take you on. So I don't know, it's pretty funny. But yeah, we're all here for him in a way, you know."What Is Glenn Powell's Next Film?Hit Man isn't the only project Powell has coming out this summer.
