Screen Daily reports that the Danish computer game Hitman looks to be the next hit game to get the Hollywood treatment. The game's international distributor EIDOS is currently negotiating with unnamed Hollywood studios - although it has an existing relationship with Paramount for the Tomb Raider franchise. The Danish developers at IO Interactive have so far produced two games based on the Hitman character, and both have been international hits... Hitman 3 is set for a spring 2004 release.

• removing from the Hitman 2 website all relevant images and content;
  
• taking steps to amend the game on all existing platforms;
  
• adapting the upcoming Gamecube Edition of the game. (thanks Blues)
