Butler Eyes "Kane & Lynch" Movie

Gerard Butler is in talks to play Kane in the film adaptation of the video game series
Kane & Lynch according to Heat Vision.



The story follows the mercenary Adam 'Kane' Marcus (Butler) and aggressive, schizophrenic killer James Lynch teaming to retrieve a dangerous device as ransom payment to retrieve Kane's kidnapped wife and daughter.

Bruce Willis was poised to play while Jamie Foxx was attached to play Lynch at one point, but will not now. Instead, an offer is out to Vin Vin Diesel to play Lynch.

In a six degrees bit of casting Butler and Foxx starred in "Law Abiding Citizen" for F. Gary Gray who was attached to call the shots here after  Simon Crane was initially to direct, but he dropped out due to “creative differences” with the studio. Gray remains in the big chair

Skip Woods and Kyle Ward penned the adapted screenplay

Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter will produce the film
