Bruce Willis to star in Kane and Lynch

Washington (ANI): Bruce Willis is in talks to star in Kane and Lynch, Lionsgate's bigscreen transfer of the Eidos Entertainment video game Kane and Lynch: Dead Men.

The pair is forced on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip, reports Variety.

Simon Crane will make his feature-directing debut with the script from Kyle Ward. Filmmakers are now looking to set an actor to play Lynch, and shooting will begin before year's end. Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter will produce the film alongside Jason Blumenthal and Todd Black and the Willis Brothers Co.
