A few weeks before the release of this movie reports came in that the studio, 20th Century Fox had turned down the version of Hitman that Xavier Gens submitted to them. Nicolas de Toth was brought in to edit the movie for commercial purposes, and Fox ordered a number of reshoots. While Fox denied claims that Xavier Gens had been fired due to the extreme violence in his cut, and insisted that he was still on the project, some reports stated that Xavier Gens was not even in the country as these reshoots were being made. The films' lead actor Timothy Olyphant later confirmed Xavier Gens did not direct the reshoots.
