Bruce Willis
Though video games have proved to be the toughest medium to crack er, adapt, Hollywood is still trying their best at it. One such video game on the adaptation chopping block is Kane and Lynch, and Lionsgate is looking to Bruce Willis to star.
Bruce Willis in Talks for Kane and Lynch
Besides Willis, Lionsgate already has it in mind for Simon Crane to direct. Though he has served as second unit director on projects such as Hancock, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Troy, Kane and Lynch will serve as his feature directing debut.
Willis will play Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary who makes an unlikely alliance with schizophrenic killer James Lynch. The pair are forced on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip.
The franchise has already proved its strength in the vidgame market, as the game has already sold 2 million copies worldwide since its November release.
Kyle Ward has already written the adaptation's script, leaving only one major move left - choosing who to play James Lynch. Lionsgate does have some time to do this, as filming on Kane and Lynch isn't expected to begin until the end of the year.
