Bruce Willis in talks to star in Kane and Lynch film adaptation

by Ross Miller on Jun 3rd 2008 8:55PM

Bruce Willis is in talks to star in the upcoming Kane and Lynch film adaptation, reports Variety. Willis will play Adam "Kane" Marcus. That's one-half of the rumor from back in November 2007 that said Billy Bob Thornton was in talks for the role of Lynch. According to the Variety piece, the filmmakers are still looking for Lynch, with shooting to begin before the end of the year. The movie will be directed by Simon Crane, based on a script by Kyle Ward.

He should play Lynch not Kane, his 70's look in Lucky Number Slevin is almost identical to Lynch.

or he could do both

I think those 2 would be perfect! I just hope it will be a good movie!

Looks like something to look forward to - I barely got past the first 2 levels because I couldn't stand the gameplay, but the story looked alright so the movie could be good.

I wonder if Jeff Gerstmann will make a cameo appearance....

hahahahahaha, that would be AWESOME

For this to work, it has to have product placement, receive a review that doesn't match up with its score, and it has to be the final straw in the firing of someone who nobody cared about until the firing.

I said product placement because it has to involve advertising in some shape or form.

Seems like a little redundant role if Billy Bob were to join. "Bandits" anyone?

So I suppose this movie will be littered with f-bombs as well? Come on, it's gotta make it into the top 3 at least!

didn't he already do a movie like this with bill bob thorton?

The characters played by Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thorton in Bandits would be nothing like the characters they'd play in Kane and Lynch...

C'mon. The whole gimmick of Bandits was that they never had weapons, they just robbed people by politely asking.

are you kidding? How was Jason Statham not considered instead?

While the game blew, I don't think anyone can deny that the game had an interesting story. hopefully this will make a decent popcorn flick.

aaaww fuck I didn't mean to respond to you. Anyways. Dude Bruce Willis>>>>>Jason Statham.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this game became a good video game movie. I game hailed as crap by the community becomes gold in the box office, I never played the game in any event so it would all be new to me.

I can see the headlines!
Poorly received video game becomes $212 million blockbuster!

In other news; Uwe Boll hangs himself out of shame, game industry cheers!

Don't do it.

Expect this movie to get 5 star ratings everywhere

Expect film critics suddenly buying Cadillacs afterwards

Oh dear lord this pisses me off. The fact that talent like Bruce's is being wasted on this. The story may seem interesting at the start but you will soon realize that the only somewhat likable character is Lynch who, despite being a murderous sociopath, is often the voice of reason in the game. There is no way I'm seeing this movie unless they either cut out the daughter completely or make her 2 years old because she is the most annoying character in anything ever. The Garth Ennis novel Pride and joy is a similiar story but much much better.

Lemme listen into the future for a sec...

"I give this film a 5 star rating. This review has been brought to you by Kane and Lynch, in theatres now!"
