Just a scant few weeks after announcing a director for Hitman -- the other movie adaptation of an IO Interactive developed game -- details have leaked to in-the-know movie news site Ain't it Cool News on the movie version of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Apparently Uwe was busy, Paul W. S. Anderson couldn't make it and Xavier Gens is busy working on the Hitman movie and contemplating licensing his name out to people with decidedly less cool ones.
So, who's rumored to be directing the K&L project? Jieho Lee. Exactly, we don't know who he is either but he apparently made a film that's been getting some praise. AICN writes, "They're not going for a music video or commercial director first off ... I guess that speaks to the strength of the story ... or the deepness of Lionsgate's pockets. One or the other." Since the game isn't out yet, and they've been keeping the plot details under wraps, we don't know about the strength of the story but we're not anticipating greatness.
