Bruce Willis to Star in Kane & Lynch
Source: Variety June 3, 2008


Bruce Willis is negotiating to star in Kane & Lynch, Lionsgate's adaptation of the Eidos Entertainment video game "Kane & Lynch: Dead Men," reports Variety.

Simon Crane will make his feature directing debut, after serving as second unit director and stunt coordinator on such films as Hancock, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Troy and X-Men: The Last Stand. He is currently working with Willis as the stunt coordinator on the Jonathan Mostow-directed The Surrogates for Touchstone Pictures.

Willis will play Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary who makes an unlikely alliance with a schizophrenic killer named James Lynch. The duo is forced on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip.

Kyle Ward wrote the script. Filmmakers are now looking to set an actor to play Lynch, and shooting will begin before year's end.

Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter will produce with Jason Blumenthal and Todd Black, and the Willis Brothers Co.

I wonder who'll they get to play Lynch.

Billy Bob Thornton was originally rumored to be Lynch, but I didn't even now progress was still being made on this project. After all, every gamer I've talked to says this game is absolutely terrible.

Game was rubbish but it seems pretty well set up for a movie adaptation. Paul Giamatti would've been good but I cant help but I think his character would be played to closely to the one in Shoot Em Up.

I suspect Kane & Lynch could wind up similar to that 2002 video-game movie Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever if they're not careful. And that movie my friends was a piece of shit.

Bingo.

Also, any way to reduce the size of that K&L pic above :) Thanks!

Table = broken
:rolleyes:

I didn't realize Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever was a video game adaptation. I thought it was just bad.
What game was it adapting?
