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?
