Bruce Willis - Image 1Hollywood producer Adrian Askarieh divulged some juicy information on the coming Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) movie. It's practically set in stone: Bruce Willis will be portraying Kane.

Narrated Askarieh on how they attracted Willis to the part:

The script has been incredibly well-received around town. After Bruce Willis read it, he called it one of the best action scripts he's ever read, and Bruce is an expert in terms of action scripts because he's read everything over the last 20 years.


Other tidbits we picked up from the interview is that they will start filming in March of 2010. Lionsgate will be distributing the film, Millennium is the financier, and they have yet to cast Lynch. It's been two and a half years of false starts, he said, but finally, it's definitely on.

He also said a few about the arch of the story.


Well, it's going to have the basic premise. But the details for the movie are going to be different. It's going to have every sequence from the game, but it's essentially the story of a mercenary teaming up with a schizophrenic psychopath to save his wife and daughter.


Do you think Willis can pull off Kane? Who do you think should they cast as Lynch? Hit the source link button for the rest of the interview, Askarieh also talks about his other movie ventures, including Just Cause and Hitman 2.

I think Willis can do it. I wonder who will be Lynch, though. They gotta get someone who can pull off the psychopathic personality.





They said it's gonna have all the scenes from the game, so wonder how well they'll pull off the bank robbery scene. When Lynch goes bat-***** insane and starts killing all the hostages.

So freaking excited, I loved the game, has a great plot.. Billy Bob Thornton (previously rumored I think?) would have made an awesome Lynch.. I'm not sure who else would be good

I never did play that game, so I don't really know how it goes. From the sounds of things though, the bank robbery makes me think "Heat", and Tom Sizemore as lynch.

Kevin Spacey should be Lynch

by Bountyhunter53 - 2009-10-22 07:22
» Hmm...

Bruce is perfectly like Kane. But Lynch is more psychotic so maybe that guy who plays the Joker from Batman?

I really hope that was just a bad joke...



Unless you're talking about Jack Nicholson.

The "new" Joker has been dead since before The Dark Knight was released.
