Adrian Askarieh, the producer of the upcoming Kane & Lynch movie, has announced they have cast Bruce Willis in the title role.

The Kane & Lynch movie is being produced by Adrian Askarieh, who previously produced the Hitman movie, and it will be distributed by Lionsgate. Adrian announced during an interview with GameDaily, that Bruce Willis has officially signed on to be a part of the movie. Willis will take on the lead role of Kane. Willis was quoted as saying the script was "one of the best action scripts he'd ever read".

They are just starting with casting for the role of Lynch, but rumors are floating around putting Daniel Day Lewis or Billy Bob Thornton in the role. Both of which would be awesome. Filming will begin in March of next year. Simon Crane is set to director the film.

I think the story line of Kane & Lynch lends itself perfectly to a good movie script. The game was a little buggy, but overall is was a pretty good experience. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this movie. I've always been a fan of Bruce Willis so I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. Of course the casting of Bruce Willis is no guarantee it will be a good movie but it does give the movie a little more legitimacy. What do you guys think? Does Bruce Willis as Kane put this movie on your radar? Who would you like to see in the Lynch role?
