Kane and Lynch is probably best known amongst gamers for sparking the furore at Gamespot which resulted in reviewer Jeff Gerstmann’s dismissal from the site, after scoring the game as a 6/10. Despite the relatively lacklustre reviews and critical response, the movie version still sits just over the horizon and having Bruce Willis on board will no doubt raise its profile.
Willis is to play Kane in the adaptation, with the role of Lynch yet to be cast.
Before you get your hopes up too high at the idea of a film adaptation of a game that isn’t completely rubbish, bear in mind it’s from the same producer as the Hitman movie.
Still with Bruce on board there’s hope for it yet, the Die Hard star knows the action genre better than most and retains a huge fan-base from the Die Hard franchise. Then again his taste isn’t exactly impeccable, Hudson Hawk anyone?

Awesome news, I’m a huge Bruce Willis fan and I can’t think of anyone more suited for the role of Kane. Lets just hope the movie gets a good script.
Heh, heh! Hudson Hawk RAWKS!
I kid, I kid. I hated that film. Never played Kane & Lynch because of the reviews it got, we’ll see what Mr.Willis can do for it though.
YES!! I love Bruce
Although paying him will take up a massive chunk of their budget.. But the its the best spent part of the budget ^.^
I dunno Darren, coffe and doughnuts can be useful for a film crew too, and going on some films I think that’s where most of their budget went!
Willis isn’t a bad actor (as a tough guy) and I think he’ll do well for the film. I’ve never seen the game though so I really shouldn’t comment!!!
lmao Although Im more of a tea & Donuts man ^.^ Its the Irish in me lol
